Clay minerals, whose world resources are extremely large, have the potential to be more
exploited as the basis for functional materials. Of interest are their interactions with ionic …

Historically, clay mineral catalysts have found industrial applications since the early 1930s.
However, inherent limitations such as impurities, porosity, low surface area and acidity …

In this work, meta-kaolinite has been successfully multidimensionally modified by growing
melamine-phytate nanoflakes within the interlayer and on the surface of metakaolinite via …

CH 4 adsorption isotherms of kaolinite with moisture contents ranging from 0 to 5 wt% water,
the effects of water on maximum adsorption capacity, kaolinite swelling, and radial …

With the gradual advancement of shale gas exploration and development technology, shale
gas has replaced conventional oil and gas as the primary energy source. As the main …

Modified kaolinite containing Lewis acidic sites (Acid-Kaol) was prepared by calcination of
kaolinite (Kaol) and successive acid treatment. Acid-Kaol was then introduced into …

Methanol intercalated kaolinite (Kaol) plays an important role in the intercalation, exfoliation,
and organic modification of kaolinite nanoclay. However, the evolution of the layer structure …

The adsorption characteristics of clay minerals with micro, meso, and macro-scale pore
sizes have significant effects on the adsorption properties of porous media such as shale …

Methoxy-grafted kaolinite is an excellent organic-inorganic compound, which serves as a
precursor to prepare new organic or inorganic kaolinite hybrid materials. Direct intercalation …

A novel thiourea-intercalated kaolinite flame retardant (K-TU) was prepared by intercalating
thiourea (TU) into kaolinite. The structure of K-TU was characterized by Fourier transform …
