The Origin of Pyrophyllite Rectorite in Shales of North …

The regular mixed-layer clay mineral rectorite seems to form as a result of the alteration of muscovite-paragonite during late stages of diagenesis and represents an intermediate metastable phase in the mineral paragenetic sequence. Pyrophyllite subsequently formed from the alteration of rectorite during advancing metamorphism and is the stable ...

Clay minerals for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment

Clay minerals have been used widely in wastewater treatment. There are many published articles on the removal of inorganic and nonmetallic pollutants, colors, heavy metal ions, pesticides, oils and greases from various wastewaters (Booker et al., 1996, Srimurali et al., 1998).In particular, heavy metal laden wastewater treatment is the most studied (Abollino et al., …

Antibacterial Mechanisms of Reduced Iron-Containing …

Reduced nontronite has been demonstrated to be antibacterial through the production of hydroxyl radical (•OH) from the oxidation of structural Fe(II). Herein, we investigated the antibacterial activity of more common smectite–illite (S–I) clays toward Escherichia coli cells, including montmorillonite SWy-3, illite IMt-2, 50–50 S–I rectorite RAr-1, 30–70 S–I ISCz-1, and …

Structure and properties of polypropylene/organic rectorite

Melt blending using a twin-screw extruder was used to prepare composites of polypropylene (PP)/organic rectorite (PR). The organic rectorite (OREC) was modified with dodecyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (1227). Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the dispersion of OREC in the ...

Molecular simulation study of hydrated Na-rectorite

The swelling behavior of clay minerals is an important issue in industrial processes and environmental applications. Mixed-layer clay minerals containing a smectite fraction, such as rectorite, are neglected even though they could swell and exist in nature widely. The hydration of rectorite has not …

Rectorite

11 rowsRectorite is a clay mineral which consists of alternating pairs of the non-expandable dioctahedral mica-like layer and expandable dioctahedral smectite layer in the ratio of 1:1 [101]. Rectorite can be easily cleaved between smectite inter-layers to form 2 nm thick monolithic …

Mechanism of tetracycline sorption on rectorite

Rectorite is a regular interstratified clay mineral made of 1:1 ratio of a nonswelling illite component and a swelling montmorillonite component. Thus, its sorptive properties would be similar to that of illite and montmorillonite. Although rectorite is not a common mineral, mixed-layered clay minerals made of illite and montmorillonite are ...

Mixed-layer clays

Clay mineral crystals contain from a few to few hundred silicate layers (1 : 1 or 2 : 1 ... The vermiculitic layer may evolve toward smectite, giving rectorite-like clay (Wilson and Nadeau, 1985). Partial chloritization of vermiculitic interlayer is, however, more common. Clays of this type are called soil vermiculites, soil chlorites, ...
