Glycol (mg/g) is the adsorption capacity for glycol, which occupies the interlayer sites when the clay is exposed to a vapor of ethylene glycol at 60 °C (140 °F) for eight hours. CEC is the cation exchange capacity of the clay. K2O (%) is the percent content of potassium oxide in the clay.
Rocks that are rich in kaolinite, and halloysite, are known as kaolin (/ ˈ k eɪ. ə l ɪ n /) or china clay. [9] In many parts of the world kaolin is colored pink-orange-red by iron oxide, giving it a distinct rust hue. Lower concentrations of iron oxide yield the white, yellow, or light orange colors of kaolin.
May 1, 2023 · Water: Clay minerals can occur in water, both as suspended particles and as components of sediment. They can affect the quality of water by adsorbing contaminants and nutrients.
Jan 1, 2018 · Surface interactions include hydrogen bonding, ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, and van der Waals interactions involving both neutral and charged clay mineral surfaces. Recent spectroscopic and molecular modelling studies of clay mineral–water interactions are presented in the framework of molecular probes and reporter groups.

Jan 1, 2006 · This chapter describes surface and interface chemistry of clay minerals. The surface properties of clay minerals depend on many factors including chemical composition, nature of the surface atoms (mainly oxygen and hydrogen), extent and type of defect sites, layer charge and the type of exchangeable cation (s).
