TL;DR: Raman microscopy has been used to affirm the presence of wyartite as discussed by the authors, which is a mineral known for the occurrence of pentavalent U5++5.6H2O.

TL;DR: Differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry have been used to compare the dehydration and dehydroxylation behaviour of a series of nontronites including two newly discovered nontronite from Uley, South Australia as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the formamide-intercalated high defect kaolinite which was mechanochemically activated for periods of time up to 6 h has been aged for up to 1 year.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that para-nitrophenol will penetrate into the untreated clay interlayer and replace the intercalated surfactant in surfactants modified clay, resulting in the change of the arrangement of the inter Caledonia bromide modified clay.

TL;DR: In this article, anionic surfactant and silane modified hydrotalcites were synthesized through a soft chemical in-situ method, and the resulting materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution thermogravimetric analysis (HRTG), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption (N2) isotherms.
