Characterization and properties of treated smectites
Abstract. Two natural smectite clays named BC and AC were thermal and chemically treated. Apart from smectite, quartz and kaolinite, BC clay also contains …
Clay, Especially Smectite
This chapter explains the structure, composition, and characteristics of clay, especially about a water-swelling clay called smectite. Smectite is a highly hydrophilic clay, and its characteristics are suitable for certain applications. However, not all applications prefer hydrophilicity, and there are many cases where hydrophobicity is ...

Thermal analysis is the oldest instrumental method applied to clays and clay minerals. The first application of thermal analysis to classify and identify smectitic species (Le Chatelier, 1887) happened long before the discovery of X-ray radiation and the identification of the actual smectite structure using X-ray diffractometry (XRD).Right after the description of …

Effect of pH on the rheological behavior of pure and interstratified
The effects of pH and ionic strength on the rheological behavior of aqueous suspensions of both crude and purified Wyoming bentonite and natural interstratified illite-smectite from Tunisia were investigated. Flow tests were performed on the four clay suspensions at a 10% clay concentration at different pH values. They showed that the …
Preparation and Handling of Dithionite-Reduced Smectite Suspensions
Using Garfield, Washington, nontronite as the model mineral system, methods and apparatus were developed to prepare reduced suspensions in citrate-bicarbonate-dithionite (CBD) solution. These techniques were effective in removing excess, undesired solutes from reduced suspensions while maintaining a high Fe2+ content. They also enabled the …
Traditional and new applications for kaolin, smectite, and …
The smectite group of clay minerals consists of several clay minerals, but the two most important industrially are sodium montmorillonite and calcium montmorillonite (Elzea and Murray, 1994). The most common occurrences of these two smectite minerals is in bentonite, a clay altered from glassy igneous material such as a volcanic ash or tuff ...
Global Cooling Unearthed by MIT: Tectonic Clay
An accordion-textured clay called smectite efficiently traps organic carbon and could help buffer global warming over millions of years. MIT geologists have found that a clay mineral on the seafloor, called smectite, has a surprisingly powerful ability to sequester carbon over millions of years.

Smectite in Marine Quick-Clays of Japan | Clays and Clay …
The clay fraction of the sediments contains smectite as a principal mineral (33–42%) in contrast to the illitic composition of most previously described quick-clays. However, this smectite is a low-swelling type, and the Na-form expands only to about the same extent as the Ca-form and gives a sediment volume almost equal to that of the Ca …
Redox Properties of Structural Fe in Ferruginous Smectite. A …
The aim of this study was to compare the redox properties of oxides and smectite structural Fe (FeStr). Structural Fe in smectite often accounts for about half of the Fe pool in soils and sediments, and is naturally reduced by indigenous bacteria. This reaction is, however, seldom taken into account in environmental studies. The equation …
Full Characterization of Smectites
Nevertheless, each natural occurring smectite is unique in chemical composition and structural features depending on its provenance and genesis (Grim and Kulbicki, 1961, Schultz, 1969, Wilson, 1987, Wolters et al., 2009).End-member definitions provide the basis for classification and general properties but detailed characterization of …

Smectite clay
The smectite is capable of expanding as the toxins are absorbed between the clay layers creating lots of room to capture the nasty things that were making Keiki ill. There are a few other ways that smectite helped cure what was ailing Keiki. Thankfully the skill of our vet, the smectite and the other meds did their job.

Controlling the Hydro-Swelling of Smectite Clay …
smectite and smectite/illite mixed-layer minerals dramatically reduces the reservoir's porosity and permeability, which mainly leads to high injection pressure and low oil recovery [8]. Therefore, inhibiting the hydro-swelling of clay minerals is an effective way to enhance the oil recovery from the low-permeability reservoirs.
