Infra-red spectroscopic study of the dehydration of montmorillonite and saponite
TL;DR: This paper showed that the more firmly held water which is directly co-ordinated to the exchangeable cations in smectites is clearly distinguished by infra-red spectroscopy from the more labile water in outer spheres of coordination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the acid activation of Brazilian smectitic clays
TL;DR: The paper presents a review of the acid activation of bentonites from 20 deposits from several regions of Brazil and shows good decolorizing power for soybean, castor, cottonseed, corn and sunflower oils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic moduli of clay platelets
Biqiong Chen,Julian R. G. Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey estimates of elastic moduli of smectite clay platelets required for the theoretical understanding of polymer-clay nanocomposites and deduce a convergence of opinion in the range 178-265 GPa.

Sodium montmorillonite silylation: Unexpected effect of the aminosilane chain length
Filomena Piscitelli,Paola Posocco,Radovan Toth,Maurizio Fermeglia,Sabrina Pricl,Giuseppe Mensitieri,Marino Lavorgna +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that the degree of silylation of Na-MMT increases with increasing the length of the aminosilane organic moieties, the overall aminoilane concentration, and temperature, and the same beneficial effects were observed on the silicate d-spacing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of X-ray powder pattern of turbostratically disordered layer structures with a Rietveld compatible approach
TL;DR: Ufer et al. as discussed by the authors used the Debye formula to describe X-ray powder pattern of turbostratically disor- dered layer compounds and applied it to real systems for smectite and corundum mixtures.
