Sorption of two polar herbicides in soils and soil clays suspensions

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the diverse colloidal soil components and their solid/solution ratio, as relevant to the transport of contaminants by particulate matter in water, was assessed.

Chemical–mineralogical characterisation of clay sediments around Ferrara (Italy): a tool for an environmental analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the chemical-mineralogical features of clay sediments outcropping around the town of Ferrara, paying particular attention to their fine fraction (grain size X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses indicate that the abundance of transition trace elements such as Cr and Ni is positively correlated with MgO wt.

Impact of clay microstructure and mass absorption coefficient on the quantitative mineral identification by XRD analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the application of the four current XRD methods for mineral quantification purposes is experimentally reviewed for clayey soils and the problems involved in clay mineral evaluation based on the direct use of peak intensity or areas under the peak are addressed.
