Experimental Transformation of a Chlorite Into a Vermiculite

TL;DR: In this article, an orthochlorite (sheridanite) was heated to 610~ to dehydroxylate the hydroxide sheet and to oxidize ferrous iron.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origin and diagenesis of grain-coating serpentine-chlorite in Tuscaloosa Formation sandstones, U.S. Gulf Coast

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the formation of grain-coating Sp-Ch during early diagenesis apparently preserved high primary porosity in medium-grained specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Montmorillonite and serpentine in Orgueil meteorite

TL;DR: In this article, X-ray diffraction results suggest that serpentine in C2 meteorites is better crystallized than that in Orgueil, where water has been picked up by montmorillonite and MgSO4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation and characterization of clay complexes with bitumen from athabasca oil sand

TL;DR: Montmorillonite, kaolinite, illite, and chlorite were found to adsorb bitumen and its pentane- soluble and pentaneinsoluble fractions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pore structure of thermally treated goethite (α-FeOOH)

TL;DR: The thermal decomposition of synthetic α-FeOOH in air has been studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), IR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption as mentioned in this paper.
