SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND EVALUATION OF A FERROMAGNETICALLY MODIFIED NATURAL ZEOLITE COMPOSITE FOR REMOVAL OF Cs+ AND Sr2+ 23 Jul 2013 | 02:16 am
The high fission yield and long half life of cesium and strontium make them the two most high-risk products from nuclear fission, so their separation from radioactive wastes is an important step in mi...
CLAY MINERALOGY, OXYGEN ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY, AND WATER/ROCK RATIO ESTIMATES, TE MIHI AREA, WAIRAKEI GEOTHERMAL FIELD, NEW ZEALAND 23 Jul 2013 | 02:16 am
Dioctahedral clays from an active continental geothermal system have been studied to assess their usefulness as proxies of paleo-hydrological and thermal conditions in the subsurface. Drill cuttings f...
STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF TRIMETHYLSULFOXONIUM-EXCHANGED VERMICULITE 23 Jul 2013 | 02:16 am
The structure of trimethylsulfoxonium-exchanged vermiculite has been examined to compare it with other onium-exchanged structures, such as tetramethylammonium- and tetramethylphosphonium-exchanged ver...
MINERALOGICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND THE ORIGIN OF TWO TYPES OF ANALCIME IN SW ANKARA, TURKEY 23 Jul 2013 | 02:16 am
Authigenic analcimes were observed in different amounts in Miocene units in central Anatolia, Turkey. Two types of analcime occurrences were defined: (1) as continuous but inhomogeneous concentrations...
THE RATE AND MECHANISM OF DEEP-SEA GLAUCONITE FORMATION AT THE IVORY COAST-GHANA MARGINAL RIDGE 23 Jul 2013 | 02:16 am
The environmental conditions and reaction paths of shallow-water glauconititization (<500 m water depth, ~15ºC) close to the sediment–seawater interface are generally considered to be well understood....
FEASIBLE SYNTHESIS OF TiO2 DEPOSITED ON KAOLIN FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC APPLICATIONS 17 Jul 2013 | 04:04 am
The aim of the present study was to synthesize a photocatalyst on the basis of TiO2 with kaolin as the support material. Properties such as layered structure and a suitable particle size of kaolin cou...
ZEOLITES IN MAFIC PYROCLASTIC ROCKS FROM THE SANDIKLI-AFYONKARAHISAR REGION, TURKEY 17 Jul 2013 | 04:04 am
Geologic mapping and crystal-chemical analysis of Middle–Upper Miocene volcanics in the Sandikli-Afyonkarahisar region of Turkey, coupled with published zeolite analyses has revealed that western Turk...
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF REDUCED-CHARGE MONTMORILLONITES. EVIDENCE BASED ON FTIR SPECTROSCOPY, THERMAL BEHAVIOR, AND LAYER-CHARGE SYSTEMATICS 10 May 2013 | 12:27 am
In the present study, the gradual layer-charge reduction of two Li-saturated smectites, SAz-1 from Arizona, USA, and FEO-G from Troodos, Cyprus, with octahedral charge of 0.54 electrons per half unit ...
IDENTIFICATION AND QUANTIFICATION OF THE INTERACTION MECHANISMS BETWEEN THE CATIONIC SURFACTANT HDTMA-Br AND MONTMORILLONITE 10 May 2013 | 12:27 am
Several detailed studies have been done on the characterization of organoclays and the type of structures developed when they interact with alkylammonium molecules. Few published contributions exist, ...
THERMAL HISTORY OF LOWER PALEOZOIC ROCKS ON THE PERI-TORNQUIST MARGIN OF THE EAST EUROPEAN CRATON (PODOLIA, UKRAINE) INFERRED FROM COMBINED XRD, K-Ar,... 10 May 2013 | 12:27 am
The Upper Silurian–Lower Devonian section of the Dniester gorge in Podolia and samples from boreholes located S and N of this area were studied in order to reconstruct the thermal history of Lower Pal...
