In this article, the adsorption behaviors of methane on organic-rich shales were investigated
through experimental and molecular simulation. The results showed that the methane …

A steep rise of carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is one of the main causes of global
warming. This increase is ascribed to the fact that, since the beginning of the industrial …

The occurrence of antibiotic pollution has become a concerning issue to public health,
where the adsorption of antibiotics on bentonite-based adsorbent represents an attractive …

Phyllosilicates, one of the five major structural types of silicates, have highly variable
structures and very complex chemistry. This manuscript reports the first comprehensive …

The origin of life (OoL) has always been a mysterious and challenging topic that puzzles
human beings. Clay minerals have unique properties and wide distribution in early Earth …

Shale oil, an unconventional petroleum resource, has gained significant attention in the
industry. Understanding how shale oils exist in nanopores is crucial for unraveling their flow …

Heterogeneous Fenton catalysts based on iron-oxides are of great interest due to their low
cost and high reactivity. Herein, the activity of nano-sized amorphous iron-oxide particles …

A good consistence between the grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation results
and the adsorption experimental measurements is an important precondition to reveal the …

Three new structural models of montmorillonite with differently distributed Al/Si and Mg/Al
substitutions in the tetrahedral and octahedral clay layers are systematically developed and …

Four sites in the western sector of Lipari Island with still active hydrothermal activity are here
considered. The petrography (mesoscopic observations and XRPD) and geochemistry …
