43 Citations | It is concluded that for a preliminary survey of the particle size and shape of clay minerals the technique of electron microscopy is best. |
76 Citations | The ratio of different sizes of transported sediment to the soil matrix indicates that most of the clay was eroded in the form of aggregates, silt-size particles were transported mainly as primary particles, and sand-size particles were predominantly aggregates of finer particles. |
24 Citations | Analysis of particle size fractions indicates the extent to which137Cs may be enriched in the clay size fractions of both tine and coarse sediments. |
| This is because of the high surface area of the fine particles and because of the inherent structural features of certain clay minerals. | |
14 Oct 2007 71 Citations | In the past, nanoparticles have not been specifically distinguished from clay sized particles and thus are classified as clay size particles, probably due to the lack of advanced facilities for nano characterization and imaging. |
| The chemical analyses of clay size particles supplied by high resolution STEM-EDX has great potential for investigating the location of elements within minerals in the clay fraction. | |
66 Citations | The results illustrate that the clay particles were broken down to smaller and smaller sizes with increase of pre-mixing temperature and especially with increase in pre-mixing speed. |
12 Citations | The discrepancies are shown to be due to heterogeneous diffusivities arising from the proximity of the surface of clay particles. |
18 Citations | The results were consistent with the aggregation of fine clay particles, possibly due to the known hydrolysis behavior of the sodium polyphosphate dispersants used in the experiment. |

What is the size of microplastics?5 answersMicroplastics are small plastic particles with a size less than 5 mm.
What is a new method for particle size distribution of fine soils?5 answersA new method for particle size distribution of fine soils is proposed in the paper by Sedláčková and Ševelová. They compared the classical sedimentation method with the laser diffraction method and found significant differences, especially for larger fractions above 0.01 mm. The laser diffraction method on the Mastersizer 3000 analyzer showed higher values for all analyzed fractions. The authors also noted that for the geotechnical use of laser diffraction, sample preparation and processing before analysis need to be taken into account.
What is soil colloids?5 answersSoil colloids are the fine and functional section of soil particles where most of the chemical properties occur. They can be divided into inorganic colloidal complexes, which consist of clay particles, and organic colloidal complexes, which are composed of humus particles. Inorganic colloidal complexes are formed by fine clay particles, while organic colloidal complexes are made up of humus particles. The stability and aggregation of biochar colloids, which are derived from organic materials like dairy manure, sewage sludge, and wheat straw, are influenced by soil components such as kaolin, goethite, and humic acid colloids. Colloids can also play a role in the transport of contaminants and nutrients in soil, as well as in the leaching of elements like cadmium and uranium. Accurate quantification of mobile colloids is important for understanding soil hydraulic properties, soil formation, and the transport of sorbing constituents in subsurface environments. Soil colloids can interact with ions and affect their binding and mobility in the soil.
