Structure and cleavage energy of surfactant-modified clay minerals: Influence of CEC, head group and chain length

TL;DR: In this paper, the interlayer structure and cleavage energy of surfactant-modified clay minerals at the molecular level were determined for 50 different alkylammonium-modified montmorillonites of different cation exchange capacity (CECs of 91 meq/100 g and 143 meq /100 g), head group structure and chain length using molecular dynamics simulation with specifically developed sampling techniques.

Mineralogical and physicochemical properties of talc from Emirdağ, Afyonkarahisar, Turkey

TL;DR: In this paper, different alteration zones in talc deposits were determined depending on differences related to the texture and color of the host rock. And they showed that fine shreds, like microcrystalline talc crystals, are associated mainly with actinolite and chlorite, and actinlites are mainly transformed into chlorite and talc.

Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectrometry and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis for surface analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the combination of electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) and Fourier transform (FT-IR) was tested for usefulness in surface analysis and the result verifies effective combination of these two complementary techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mineralogy of Palagonitic Material from the Golan Heights, Israel

TL;DR: In this paper, the major part of the clay alteration product is composed of a dioctahedral micaceous mineral with well organized crystallinity along the a-and b-axes.

Origin of red beds in the Ringerike Group (Silurian) of Norway

Peter Turner
- 01 Nov 1974 - 
TL;DR: The Ringerike Group is a meandering fluviatile succession which is about 60% red as mentioned in this paper, and the red color is caused by finely crystalline hematite as matrix and grain-coatings.
