The Physico-Chemical and Mineralogical Compositional Characteristics of Limestone and Shale Sediments around Yewa River, South Western Nigeria

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented detailed compositional characteristics (physical, chemical and mineralogical properties) of limestone and shale deposits for possible industrial uses and specifications, which showed that the limestone and associated shale of the communities around Yewa lagoon satisfies the physical and chemical factors for Portland cement production, but slightly falls below the standard chemical specifications for other industrial uses such as steel, ceramics, paper mills, refractory bricks and plastics productions.

Isolation, characterization and modification of clay solids from oil sand wastes

TL;DR: In this article, a fractionation methodology was developed to separate clay solids from oil sands coke fly ash for potential use as polymer reinforcements after surface modification and the separated clay fraction has been characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, XPS, SEM, infrared spectroscopy, and surface area measurements.

Mineral Composition of Pelitic Fraction of Dispersed and Consolidated Sedimentary Matter in the White Sea

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the dispersed and consolidated mineral phases of fine-grained fraction (from 10 μm to less than 1 μm) in different geospheres of the White Sea.
