ABSTRACT This study covers the evaluation of the structure and the capacity in adsorbing orthophosphate ions of kaolinites collected from sampling sites in Manaus (Brazil). The kaolinites were ...

A mullite/glass composite has been prepared by reactive sintering of a kaolinite clay/mica-rich kaolin waste mixture with 25 wt% waste. Phase composition, microstructure, dielectric and electrical ...

In this paper, artificial flocs, similar to the ones that are found in a recently deposited cohesive seabed, were prepared using Ca-montmorillonite and kaolinite (two of the most abundant clay ...

We report a combined experimental and computational study on exfoliated montmorillonite (ex-MMT) nanoplatelet supported palladium catalysts. The experimental results revealed that the Pd/ex-MMT ...

Femi Fabunmi Benue State, located in the heart of Nigeria’s North Central region, has earned and maintained the proud title of “The Food Basket of the Nation” — a name that reflects its immense ...

In this paper, anhydrous pyrolysis experiments were performed on Huadian oil shale kerogen with and without different minerals (calcite, kaolinite, gypsum, montmorillonite) using a Fischer assay ...

Montmorillonite (MMT), a naturally abundant silicate clay mineral, is characterized by a 2:1 layered structure, with silica tetrahedral sheets sandwiched between alumina octahedral sheets. This unique ...

Engineers turn low-grade clay into powerful cement for greener construction The illite clay, when blended with low-grade kaolinite, can yield stronger concrete. Updated: Jun 05, 2025 03:07 AM EST ...

These enhancements demonstrate that the co-calcined illite-kaolin blends can match or surpass the performance of traditional kaolin-based substitutes. Demand for kaolin is steadily growing, with the ...

The global production of cement - a key ingredient in concrete - is responsible for 8% of global CO₂ emissions. Replacing some cement with clay reduces the environmental impact, but the high-grade ...
