THE FATE OF SMECTITE IN KOH SOLUTIONS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry, 2006
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 ...

Structural, Mineral and Elemental Composition Features of Iron-Rich Saponite Clay from Tashkiv Deposit (Ukraine)

open access: yesColloids and Interfaces, 2019
Low-temperature nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, as well as infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize structural features of raw and acid-treated ...

Diagenetic smectite-to-illite transition in clay-rich sediments: A reappraisal of X-ray diffraction results using the multi-specimen method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
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]

open access: yes, 2006
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Mineralogy, 2003
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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
