Nontronites are the ferric members of dioctahedral smectites, most of which are structural counterparts of beidellite (Brindley, 1980). The existence of a cont inuous b e i d e l l i t e n o n t r o n i t e series was suggested on the basis of chemical analyses by Ross & Hendricks (1945). However, a nontronite with montmorillonitic structure has been described by KSster (1982). Minor amounts of...

Ground pollution arises from the impact of past and current industrial activity and due to improper disposal of waste generated by society. Geoenvironmental engineering deals with the most important aspects: (a) Soil pollution processes and effect on geotechnical properties, and (b) Waste Management. Soil-pollutants interaction changes soil behaviour and also can lead to various geotechnical pr...
