Journal ArticleDOI
Halloysite clay minerals — a review
TL;DR: Halloysite clay minerals are ubiquitous in soils and weathered rocks where they occur in a variety of particle shapes and hydration states as discussed by the authors and diversity also characterizes their chemical composition, cation exchange capacity and potassium selectivity.

Weathering of the primary rock-forming minerals: processes, products and rates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the ways in which the major rock-forming primary minerals (olivine, pyroxenes, amphiboles, feldspars, micas and chlorites) break down during weathering, the products that develop during this breakdown and the rates at which this breakdown occurs.

Chlorite dissolution in the acid ph-range: a combined microscopic and macroscopic approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the dissolution of chlorite with intermediate Fe-content was studied via mixed flow experiments as well as microscopically via atomic force microscopy (AFM) for pH 2 to 4, with a preferred release of octahedrally coordinated cations.

Supergene Vermiculitization of A Magnesian Chlorite: Iron and Magnesium Removal Processes
TL;DR: An X-ray powder diffraction study of a verrniculitized chlorite in an amphibole schist near Limoges, France, shows the following weathering sequence: chlorite ~ ordered interstratified chlorite/ vermiculite/VERMICAUS.
