In this study, using ion selective electrode techniques, we investigated the influence of pH on metal-ion, Ca2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+, adsorption by Fithian illite. The results showed that Fithian illite ex...
Illite is a general term for the dioctahedral mica-like clay mineral common in sedimentary rocks, especially shales. Illite is of interest to the petroleum industry because it can provide a K-Ar isoto...
Illite samples from Fithian, IL were purified and saturated with Na(+) ions. The acid-base surface chemistry of the Na-saturated illite was studied by potentiometric titration experiments with 0.1, 0....
The average potassium oxide content of 18 Paleozoic two-layer monoclinic illites is 8.75 percent. There is an excellent linear relation between the ratio of the intensities of the reflections at 10 an...
Using static and dynamic light-scattering techniques, we investigated the flocculation of geologic specimen illite and soil illite colloids suspended in NaCl solution at pH 8. Our results show that th...
Temperature, pressure, and time have been thought to control the smectite-to-illite (S-I) reaction, an important diagenetic process used for petroleum exploration. We demonstrated that microorganisms ...
The present work investigates the adsorptive behavior of As(V) ions with kaolinite, montmorillonite and illite in aqueous medium as a function of As(V) concentration, pH, contact time and temperature....
(1)H, (27)Al, (29)Si and (39)K solid-state NMR are reported from a Hungarian illite 2:1 clay for samples heated up 1600 degrees C. This single-phase sample has a small amount of aluminium substitution...
