Interaction of micas with nickel sulfate solutions

TL;DR: The interaction of natural biotites with dilute nickel sulfate solutions at various pHs is studied by X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and chemical analysis as discussed by the authors.

Fluvio-deltaic environment and in situ pedogenesis of Middle Miocene kaolinitic sandstones of the Pugu coastal area of Tanzania

TL;DR: The Middle Miocene Pugu Sandstone of Central Tanzania is built of micaceous, hard and soft kaolinitic sandstones, the hard kaolitic variety consisting of poorly crystallized ragged anhedral kaolinite crystals and the soft type consisting of well-crystallized hexagonal crystals of kaolinte.

Clay Mineralogy of the Soils above Basalt from Azraq Area, Jordan

TL;DR: In this paper, the origin of the clay minerals in relation to the origins of the soil is discussed. But, the results show that the clay is formed by the effect of wind-blowing /detrital and transported and not due to basalt alterations.

Strength Behavior of Naturally Cemented Marine Clay Due to Change in Ground Water Level

TL;DR: In this article, the change in strength and deformation behavior of a typical marine clay deposit formed under shallow water is presented and discussed for the conditions of changing water table, where standard consolidation and triaxial shear tests were conducted.
