The Role of Randomly Mixed-Layered Chlorite/Smectite in the Transformation of Smectite to Chlorite [PDF]
AbstractVesicular and groundmass phyllosilicates in a hydrothermally altered basalt from the Point Sal ophiolite, California, have been studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Pore-filling phyllosilicates are texturally characterized as having coherent, relatively thick and defect-free crystals of chlorite (14 Å) with occasional 24-Å ...

Adsorption of Imidazolinone Herbicides on Smectite−Humic Acid and Smectite−Ferrihydrite Associations
Adsorption of imazapyr (IMZ), imazethapyr (IMZT), and imazaquin (IMZQ) was studied on two smectite-humic acid and two smectite-ferrihydrite binary systems prepared by treating a Wyoming smectite with a humic acid extracted from soil (4 and 8% w/w of the smectite) and with just-precipitated synthetic ferrihydrite (8 and 16% w/w of the smectite ...

The fate of smectite in KOH solutions [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to investigate the detailed evolution of the SAz-1 smectite in 1 M KOH at 80 °C at a solid/liquid ratio of 1/80. AFM observations indicated no change in crystal size or shape. XRD measurements at 40% relative humidity revealed changes in expandability of the smectite. The (001) reflection profile of smectite was modeled

Smectite-Brine-CO2 Interactions: Implications on CO2 Sequestration
In this thesis, the interaction of smectite, brine and CO2 under varying temperature (T), pressure (P), and brine concentration and composition was investigated using volume experiments and geochemical modeling.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
