Effect of kaolinite and Ca-montmorillonite on the alleviation of soil water repellency
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2004 The effects of adding 1-3% (weight) kaolinite or Ca-montmorillonite on the wettability of silica sand, made highly water repellent with stearic acid, was studied during wetting and prolonged drying phases at 50°C.
