The modification method of aluminosilicate clays and the modifier content have a decisive influence on the structure and properties of the obtained nanocomposites. Therefore, the development and research of new techniques of nanoclays modification are of...

With the increasing demand and use of highways, railways and tunnels in China, the phenomena of foundation settlement, uneven deformation and ground cracking caused by the cyclic loading by traffic are becoming increasingly significant. There is now an e...

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is an important platform molecule for the synthesis of high-added value products. Several synthesized clay materials, such as mesoporous hectorite and fluorohectorite, in addition to commercial montmorillonite K-10, have b...

In this paper, the performance of a gas barrier that consisted of polyacrylamide (PAM)-modified compacted clayey soil was experimentally explored. The moisture content and water loss characteristics of the tested soils were adopted as indicative indices ...

The cement industry gains increasing public attention because of the high CO2 emissions for which it is accountable. One approach to improve the carbon footprint of cement production is the development of alternative binders, which can be produced with l...

Through a study of glacial geomorphology and retrospective modeling of the stability of the slopes, it has been possible to reconstruct and know the mechanism of the formation of a large landslide induced by the retreat of the glacier corresponding to th...

The presence of sulfur compounds in fossil fuels has been an important concern in recent decades as an environmental risk due to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and accentuation of acid rain. This study evaluates modified clays as low-...

In this paper, we develop an elasto-viscoplastic (EVP) model for clay using the non-associated flow rule. This is accomplished by using a modified form of the Perzyna?s overstressed EVP theory, the critical state soil mechanics, and the multi-surface the...

The presence of heavy metals in water for human use or consumption represents a major risk to human health. It is therefore important to find materials to remove or minimise the concentration of these pollutants. The adsorption process for the removal of...

Clay minerals have previously been used to mitigate algal blooms because of their ability to flocculate algal cells or remove nutrients, but also offer considerable potential to remove ichthyotoxins. When a barramundi farm in tropical Australia suffered ...
