Interaction of aluminum and iron oxides and clay minerals and their effect on soil physical properties: A review
TL;DR: Amorphous and crystalline aluminum and iron oxide minerals play a major role in stabilizing soil structure as measured by aggregate stability and clay dispersion as discussed by the authors, and the presence of these minerals has a favorable effect on soil physical properties, increasing aggregate stability, permeability, friability, porosity, and hydraulic conductivity.

Chemical and biochemical weathering of pyritic mudrocks in a shale embankment
K. Pye,J. A. Miller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed mineralogical, chemical and electron microscopical investigation was carried out to establish whether the crushed mudstone fill had been significantly affected by chemical weathering after emplacement.

Interparticle action and rheology of kaolinite-amorphous iron hydroxide (ferrihydrite) complexes
Raymond N. Yong,Masami Ohtsubo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the Bingham yield stress for the suspensions of the amorphous iron hydroxide and its association with the kaolinite surfaces by means of electron microscopy and zeta potential and surface area determinations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle Interaction and Rheology of Illite-Iron Oxide Complexes
TL;DR: In this article, the Bingham yield stress for suspensions of illite-iron oxide complexes is examined as a function of pH and iron oxide content, and it was shown that the addition of iron oxides to illite increased the yield stress over a pH range of 3 to 10.

Clays from New Zealand support the inactive particle theory of soil sensitivity
TL;DR: In this article, a long-term study of factors contributing to soil sensitivity was carried out on some volcanic ash soils from the North Island of New Zealand, and it was reported that some soils have sensitivities of up to 140 and clay mineral contents of >80%.
