The distribution and fixation of trace elements by the Vertisols of Malaga, southern Spain

TL;DR: Systematic sampling and sequential extraction analysis show that the Vertisols behave as a buffer to all elements, except cadmium, during contamination by heavy metals and micronutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI

A test of the reliability of Rb-Sr dates for selected glauconite morphologies of the upper Cretaceous (Navesink Formation) of New Jersey

TL;DR: In this paper, Isochron dates of unaltered dark green lobate glauconites were found to be reliable indicators of the true age of the sedimentary rock.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sorption of 226Ra from waste effluents using Syrian bentonite.

TL;DR: In view of environmental concern, sorption of radium on natural bentonite mineral (Aleppo, Syria) was investigated using a batch‐type method and results indicated that surface sorption/surface ion exchange were the predominant processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrothermal Alterations of Hisingerite Material from a Basalt Quarry Near Geelong, Victoria, Australia

TL;DR: In this article, a series of hydrothermal experiments were conducted to understand the genetic relationship between hisingerite material in the joints of an overlying grey basalt and nontronite and Fe-rich saponite in the joint and matrix of a more deuterically altered, underlying green basalt.

Ion Exchanged Vermiculites with Lower Expansion Onset Temperatures

TL;DR: In this article, South African Palabora vermiculite was modified by ion exchange with ammonium and selected alkali metal and alkaline earth metal ions, and it was found that ammonia and water were the blowing agents and they were simultaneously released during thermal degradation.
