Flotation is a complex process that occurs in solid–liquid-gas multiphase systems, and its
main factors include the minerals, separation medium, as well as various flotation reagents …

Coal combustion residue (CCR) is an industrial by-product that has been widely adopted in
civil engineering applications. However, a significant portion of CCR is still left unused …

The defected kaolinite is common in sedimentary kaolin, but its structure and disorder
mechanism remains unclear. In this paper, three different size distributions of kaolinite …

Soil clay minerals are effective substrate adsorbents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) in natural soil. The adsorbed PAHs result in long-term contamination of soils. In this …

Halloysite structure is often considered as kaolinite's structure, however, halloysite mostly
presents a spiral tubular morphology instead of platy. Several probable reasons were …

Clay mineral materials have attracted attention due to their many properties and
applications. The applications of clay minerals are closely linked to their structure and …

Kaolinites have a wide impact in many technological applications, and also are promising
for their potential new uses in the future. Because these clay minerals naturally exist as fine …

Structural determination of adsorbed atoms on layered structures such as clay minerals is a
complex subject. Radioactive cesium (Cs) is an important element for environmental …

Technological properties of kaolins depend on the internal structure of the particles that
constitute them. For this reason, unraveling the structural features from the micro to the …

A development of coagulation-flocculation is to improve flocculation performance of organic
polymer flocculants. It is hopefully achieved via optimizing molecular structure of flocculants …
