Abstract Cuadros et al. (2019) used a wide range of data from dioctahedral and trioctahedral Fe3+-bearing, 2:1 phyllosilicates to propose model describing how tetrahedral occupancy by Fe3+ takes place in both phyllosilicates. The partition coefficient approach (Decarreau Petit 2014) focusing on the distribution Al3+ between octahedral sites smectites has been disregarded study (2019). This was ...

Smectites are the most commonly found clay mineral in many temperate region soils.It exhibits variability in shrink – swell behavior and sorption of organic molecules. Previousresearch has established the relationship between extent of swelling and sorption of organiccompounds by smectites. The effect of the interlayer cation on sorption of organiccompounds and the inter-rel...

Abstract This study demonstrates the synergies and limits of multiple measurement types for detection smectite chemistry oxidation state on planetary surfaces to infer past geochemical conditions. Smectite clay minerals are common products water-rock interactions throughout solar system, their characterization provides important clues about conditions environments if sufficient information comp...

A systematic development of the macroscopic field equations (conservation of mass, linear and angular momentum, energy, and Maxwell’s equations) for a multiphase, multicomponent medium is presented. It is assumed that speeds involved are much slower than the speed of light and that the magnitude of the electric field significantly dominates over the magnetic field so that the electroquasistatic...
