Chapter 2 Structures and Mineralogy of Clay Minerals

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and mineralogy of clay minerals are described and the 1:1 and 2:1 layer unit cells are characterized by the repetition of one tetrahedral and one octahedral sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clay and man: clay raw materials in the service of man

TL;DR: Clay has always played a major role in human life as discussed by the authors, mainly because of their wide-ranging properties, high resistance to atmospheric conditions, geochemical purity, easy access to their deposits near the earth's surface and low price.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy metals in urban soils of central Jordan: should we worry about their environmental risks?

TL;DR: It was found that Pb, Zn, and Cr are associated mainly with the residual phases and are relatively immobile, on the other hand Cd is enriched in the carbonate phase of the analyzed soil samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption of dyes from aqueous solutions or suspensions with clay nano-adsorbents

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption properties of the raw clays, activated clays by acid-treatment or calcinations, organic-modified clays with small molecules or polymers for the adaption and removal of organic dyes from aqueous solutions are reviewed.
Journal Article

Muscovite dehydroxylation; high-temperature studies

TL;DR: In this article, a model for dehydroxylation of muscovite was developed from Pauling bond strength summation calculations, which is applicable to pyrophyllite and similar dioctahedral 2: I layer silicates and is supported by previously reported infrared, Nun, and rnna data.
