MAPPING REMOVAL SWELLING CLAY SOILS IN THE AURES (N’GAOUS) ALGERIA [PDF]
The shrinkage and swelling phenomena of certain clay soils cause differential settlement manifested by disorders that affect mainly the individual frame. The objective of this research was to create a map related to these phenomena especially in the area

Cap rock efficiency of geothermal systems in fold-and-thrust belts: Evidence from paleo-thermal and structural analyses in Rosario de La Frontera geothermal area (NW Argentina) [PDF]
Cap rock characterization of geothermal systems is often neglected despite fracturing may reduce its efficiency and favours fluid migration. We investigated the siliciclastic cap rock of Rosario de La Frontera geothermal system (NW Argentina) in order to

Sorção de Diuron em minerais da fração argila
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the adsorption of the herbicide Diuron onto smectite and Fe oxides minerals. Ninety mg of each mineral, 1 mL of 0.15 mol L-1 CaCl2 and 8 mL of Diuron (0.25-10.00 mg L-1) were used in triplicates.

A review of possible mechanisms for mercury migration in diagenesis: Clay to pyrite
Though sedimentary mercury in marine sediments has been regarded as a geological indicator of volcanic activity based on volcanism activity is the dominant natural source of Hg to the oceans, the influence of diagenesis on mercury cannot be dismissed ...
