The instability of palygorskite and sepiolite under soil conditions was investigated to determine if these fibrous minerals transform directly to smectite under laboratory conditions. The treatment of 100 mg (0.12 mmole) of palygorskite with 1 mmole of NaOH solution (17 ml) at 150~ for 24 hr yielded a smectite. Analcime and smectite were formed when -> 3 mmole of NaOH was used. The addition of - 8 mmole NaOH, sepiolite altered to an X-ray amorphous material. In the presence of A1 and Si, however, it transformed to smectite and analcime. Transmission electron microscopy, cation-exchange capacity, and X-ray powder diffraction studies of the products suggest that alteration was (1) via solution, or (2) by a structural reorganization wherein the basic 2:1 silicate structural units were unchanged. Key Wards--Alteration, Analcime, Cation-exchange capacity, Palygorskite, Sepiolite, Smectite, Sodium hydroxide.read more

Modelling the interaction of bentonite with hyperalkaline fluids
TL;DR: In this article, the possible extent of reaction between bentonite and cement pore fluids was simulated using the reaction-transport model, PRECIP, and the results showed complex fronts of mineral dissolution and growth driven by the relative rates of these processes for different minerals.

Determination of Silica in Citrate-Bicarbonate-Dithionite Extracts of Soils
TL;DR: In this article, a procedure was developed for the determination of Si directly in citrate-dithionite extracts of soils, which provided for noninterference by citrate, dithionites, Fe, and P. The interference by citrates was prevented by an excess of molybdate; that by Fe and P by tartaric acid addition.

Hydroxyl groups and water in palygorskite
TL;DR: In this article, the deuteration and orientation studies of palygorskite were performed at different degrees of exchange of deuterons and protons and the results showed that all the coordinated water molecules are equivalent, as suggested by Bradley's structure determination.

Discussion of the Occurrence and Origin of Sedimentary Palygorskite-Sepiolite Deposits
TL;DR: The origin of these high-magnesium clays has long been attributed to either alteration of volcanic ash or the structural transformation of smectite clays as discussed by the authors, however, many of the large sedimentary deposits are more probably the result of direct crystallization adjacent to areas undergoing tropical or subtropical weathering.
