Earth is the main raw material most used in building construction Africa and particularly Senegal. It a malleable material, easy to handle, from which hard bricks (unfired or fired) can be made. Thus for good prediction of mechanical thermal behavior it important determine its hygroscopic properties. This why our study focuses on characterization earth materials based laterite clay. We are main...

In this study, we present mineralogical and geochemical characterization of samples systematically collected from a nickel laterite profile at the Sta. Cruz deposit, Zambales, Philippines. Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (WDSXRF), mass-balance element mobility calculations, transmitted reflected light microscopy, previously reported results coupled diffraction (XRD) Rietve...
