Production and Characterization of Open Cell Cordierite from Boron and Waste Materials by Geopolymer Method for the Emission After Treatment System of Diesel Engines. [PDF]
Open porous geopolymer‐based cordierite materials are produced due to the porous structure, temperature resistance, easy and low cost applications of geopolymer. For the composition of cordierite, waste boron clay, metakaolin, fly ash and magnesium carbonate are used, while keeping the geopolymerization temperature constant, sodium silicate, sodium ...

Untangling the Primary Biotic and Abiotic Controls on Oxygen, Inorganic and Organic Carbon Isotope Signals in Modern Microbialites. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Microbialites are organo‐sedimentary structures formed throughout most of the Earth history, over a wide range of geological contexts, and under a multitude of environmental conditions affecting their composition. The carbon and oxygen isotope records of carbonates, which are most often their main constituents, have been used as a widespread ...

Glyphosate adsorption on synthetic allophanes and halloysite: Effects of pH and mineral properties
We studied glyphosate adsorption on halloysite and two different synthetic allophanes at pH 5‐7. Adsorption capacities of the allophanes increased with rising Al:Si content and they were generally larger than most other clays and (hydr)oxides tested so far. Abstract Background Glyphosate (GLP) is a widely used herbicide with possible adverse effects on

Abstract Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) precipitation is kinetically inhibited at surface temperatures and pressures. Experimental studies have demonstrated that microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) as well as certain clay minerals may catalyse dolomite precipitation.

Abstract Identification of processes driving carbonate diagenesis requires an accurate chronology, particularly along volcanic margins where complex mineral parageneses develop. The Cretaceous “Pre‐Salt” carbonates formed in the volcanic proto‐South Atlantic and are now extensive hydrocarbon reservoirs offshore Brazil and Angola. Primary and diagenetic

Chemical controls on incipient Mg-silicate crystallisation at 25oC : implications for early and late diagenesis [PDF]
Mg-silicate minerals (e.g., stevensite, kerolite, talc, sepiolite) play an important role in the construction of facies models in lacustrine and peri-marine environments because they are sensitive to changes in solution chemistry.

Abstract Mg isotopic composition of river water is dominantly controlled by the dissolution of both silicate and carbonate sources and a series of biogeochemical processes. However, the relative importance of source and isotopic fractionation control at basin/global scale is poorly constrained.

Proton conductivity in Al-stevensite pillared clays [PDF]
Fine stevensite mineral fraction (< 2 m) has been extracted from natural Moroccan ghassoulite clay. Thereafter, it has been pillared by Al13 polycations species.

Paleoenvironmental Implications of Authigenic Magnesian Clay Formation Sequences in the Barra Velha Formation (Santos Basin, Brazil) [PDF]
The characterization of Mg-clays in rock samples (well P1) from the Barra Velha Formation (Early Cretaceous) allowed the establishment of mineral assemblages on the basis of their kerolite and Mg-smectite (stevensite and saponite) content.

Thermal behaviour of stevensite at temperatures up to 800°C.
Stevensite is a Mg-trioctahedral smectite with layer charge stemming from vacancies in the octahedral sheet. In the present work we studied the thermal behavior of Jbel Ghassoul stevensite from Morocco, known as Ghassoulite or Rhassoulite, free of talc layers.
