In the present study, the effect of triangular, rectangular and trapezoidal ribs on the laminar
heat transfer of water-Ag nanofluid in a ribbed triangular channel under a constant heat flux …

Natural clay mineral and its modifier called modified clay have been used in many
environmental applications for a number of years. However, they are not capable enough to …

Soil clay minerals are effective substrate adsorbents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) in natural soil. The adsorbed PAHs result in long-term contamination of soils. In this …

In this study, the rheological behavior of drilling fluids consisting of organobentonite/oil was
studied. Montmorillonites intercalated with two quaternary ammonium surfactants …

Abstract Illite–smectite (I-Sm) clay minerals widely existed in clay-rich rocks or sediments.
Understanding the effects of I-Sm clay minerals on the thermal evolution of organic matters …

The physicochemical properties of an enhanced adsorbent material generated by clays and
fungal biomass can be modified systematically. We used spectroscopic techniques to …

The release of benzothiazoles into the environment has been reported to affect the
ecological environment and human health, so it makes significant sense to remove …

Na-magadiite exchanged with cetyl-trimethylammonium cations provided organophilic
silicate materials that allowed for the effective removal of the acidic dye “eosin”. The organic …

The arrangement of bisphenol A molecules into organoclays and their interactions with the
intercalated surfactant were studied. The organoclays were prepared via solid-state …

Dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium (DDBA) is a novel cation surfactant used to modify clay
minerals. DDBA-intercalated montmorillonite is formed by the ion exchange between DDBA …
