Formation and Occurrence of Clay Minerals
Clay minerals may be si<j'nifieant indieatoi's of earth processes. They form throufrh a range which involves at one extreme the action of compressed water vapor at a temperature of several hundred degrees centigrade, and at the other extreme, the action of atmospheric agencies at an ordinary temperature. Not recognized as original products of magmatic crystallization, clay minerals are prima fa...
متن کاملFormation and Transformation of Clay Minerals: the Role of Bacteria
Bacteria are the most abundant forms of life we know on our planet that can be able to survive in a variety of habitats, from hot to cold springs, from soils to deep sedimentary rocks, in radioactive wastes and in living organisms. It has been estimated (Whitman et al., 1998; Lipp et al., 2008) that the prokaryote number is 3.5 5.0·1030 and although global subseafloor sedimentary microbial abun...
متن کاملHalophilic Archaea Cultivated from Surface Sterilized Middle-Late Eocene Rock Salt Are Polyploid
Live bacteria and archaea have been isolated from several rock salt deposits of up to hundreds of millions of years of age from all around the world. A key factor affecting their longevity is the ability to keep their genomic DNA intact, for which efficient repair mechanisms are needed. Polyploid microbes are known to have an increased resistance towards mutations and DNA damage, and it has bee...
متن کاملClay Minerals and Catalysis
More than half a century ago, Irish physicist John Desmond Bernal and Swiss geochemist Victor M. Goldschmidt independently proposed that clay minerals may have played an important role in prebiotic synthesis (Bernal 1949; Goldschmidt 1952). I concur that mineral catalysis must have had a central role in prebiotic synthesis because most uncatalyzed reactions start from simple precursors like hyd...
متن کاملClay Minerals: Adsorbophysical Properties
The structure and features of surfaces of clay minerals (kaolin, montmorillonite, etc) have an important scientific and practical value. On the surface the interrelation of processes at electronic, atomic and molecular levels is realized. Availability of mineral surface to external influences opens wide scientific and technical opportunities of use of the surface phenomena, so the research of c...
