The palygorskite-sepiolite group of clay minerals has a wide range of industrial applications derived mainly from its sorptive, rheological and catalytic properties which are based on the fabric, surface area, porosity, crystal morphology, structure and composition of these minerals. For assessing potential industrial uses, the mineralogical and chemical composition of the clay and its basic ph...

Recent studies of soil–landscape relationships in northeastern Patagonia identified fibrous-clay minerals in calcic and petrocalcic horizons developed on old fluvio-glacial plains called “Rodados Patagónicos” (RP). The objectives of this study were: i) to evaluate the occurrence of fibrous-clay minerals in the arid soil environment, and ii) to establish the relationship between the soil propert...

Glyphosate affects ecosystems due to exposure of non-target crops and is a persistent contaminant at low concentrations. The application palygorskite reduce glyphosate contamination in Brazil an environmentally friendly way remediate impacted areas. This research evaluated for adsorption present synthetic effluent. Palygorskite samples were ore dressed by wet granulometric classification magnet...

Abstract This study aimed to determine the possible control of selected pathogenic and competitive fungi A. bisporus by three nanosilver clay composites establish effective concentrations for inhibiting pathogens. Nanosilver (AgNPs) (zeolite, montmorillonite, palygorskite) were synthesized a microwave‐assisted surface functionalization technique, various techniques characterized products. Zeoli...

abstract geomorphology and soil genesis and its development are closely related. besides, soil-landscape studies provide a better understanding of soil forming processes. the objectives of the present research include soil genesis studies, micromorphology and clay mineralogy of soils related to geomorphic surfaces in jiroft area. soil temperature and moisture regimes of the area are hyperthermi...
