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

TL;DR: In this article, X-ray diffraction patterns typical of the diagenetic illitization of smectite are interpreted using modern approaches involving profile fitting (multi-specimen method).
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray diffraction: a powerful tool to probe and understand the structure of nanocrystalline calcium silicate hydrates

TL;DR: It is proposed that C-S-H of Ca/Si ratio ranging between ∼”0.6 and ∼ 1.7 can be described as nanocrystalline tobermorite affected by turbostratic disorder and arises from nanocrystalinity and possibly from an interstratification phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE INTERACTION OF CLAYS WITH HIGH-pH SOLUTIONS: A CASE STUDY FROM THE CALLOVO-OXFORDIAN FORMATION, MEUSE-HAUTE MARNE UNDERGROUND LABORATORY (FRANCE)

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of alkaline solutions on the clay mineralogy of the Callovo-Oxfordian formation hosting the French underground laboratory for nuclear waste disposal investigation (Meuse- Haute Marne site) has been studied experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI

A database of dissolution and precipitation rates for clay-rocks minerals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a compilation of kinetic parameters to overcome some of the above cited problems, such as data and data selection, and ease the use of common kinetic parameters that are independent of the chosen geochemical modelling code.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the nature of structural disorder in calcium silicate hydrates with a calcium/silicon ratio similar to tobermorite

TL;DR: In this article, four calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) with structural calcium/silicon (Ca/Si) ratios ranging from 0.82 +/- 0.02 to 0.87 +/- 0.02 were synthesized at room temperature, 50, 80, and 110 degrees C.
