THE FATE OF SMECTITE IN KOH SOLUTIONS [PDF]
International audienceThe 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.

The effect of sonication on dioctahedral and trioctahedral micas
This paper reports on the effect of sonication on two mica samples. The materials have been investigated in terms of structure modifications, particle size and morphology, specific surface area and thermogravimetric behaviour. The effect of the mica structure, namely density and distribution of cations over the octahedral sites, on the sonicated ...

Diagenetic smectite-to-illite transition in clay-rich sediments: A reappraisal of X-ray diffraction results using the multi-specimen method [PDF]
International audienceSmectite illitization is a common mineralogical reaction occurring during the burial diagenesis of clay-rich sediments and shales, and has thus attracted sustained interest over the last fifty years.

Discrete breathers for understanding reconstructive mineral processes at low temperatures [PDF]
Reconstructive transformations in layered silicates need a high tem- perature in order to be observed. However, very recently, some systems have been found where transformation can be studied at temperatures 600 C below the lowest experimental results ...

Zinc-rich clays in supergene non-sulfide zinc deposits [PDF]
International audienceThe nature and the origin of zinc clays are poorly understood. With the example of the Bou Arhous Zn-Pb ore deposit in the Moroccan High Atlas, this study presents new data for the mineralogical and chemical characterization of ...

Evaluation of rare earth on layered silicates under subcritical conditions: Effect of the framework and interlayer space composition [PDF]
Clay-based minerals are considered to be an important component in backfill barriers due to both their ability to seal and adsorb radioactive waste and to interact chemically with it under subcritical conditions. Herein, we describe a systematic study of

Crystal structure and chemistry of lithium-bearing trioctahedral micas-3T
Chemical analyses and crystal structure refinements were performed on lithian siderophyllite-3 T crystals from granitic pegmatites of the anorogenic Pikes Peak batholith (Colorado) to characterize the crystal chemistry and relations with trioctahedral lithium-bearing micas showing different stacking sequences.

The origin and implications of clay minerals from Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars [PDF]
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover Curiosity has documented a section of fluvio-lacustrine strata at Yellowknife Bay (YKB), an embayment on the floor of Gale crater, approximately 500 m east of the Bradbury landing site. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data
