Clay minerals retain or adsorb metal ions in the Earth's critical zone. Rocks, sediments and
soils rich in clay minerals can concentrate rare earth elements (REEs) in ion adsorption-type …

Among the wide range of materials used for remediating environmental contaminants,
modified and functionalised nanoclays show particular promise as advanced sorbents …

Clay minerals such as kaolinite, smectite, chlorite, micas are main components of raw
materials of clay and formed in presence of water. A large number of clays used to form the …

Global resources of heavy Rare Earth Elements (REE) are dominantly sourced from
Chinese regolith-hosted ion-adsorption deposits in which the REE are inferred to be weakly …

While bringing convenience to our life, the extensive use of electromagnetic waves also
does harm to the environment and human health. It is crucial to develop electromagnetic …

Fine-grained sediments and sedimentary rocks play important roles in a variety of modern
energy technologies from petroleum geology to geological carbon sequestration and …

To meet the growing energy demands in a low-carbon economy, the development of new
materials that improve the efficiency of energy storage and conversion systems is essential …

The interactions between clay minerals and organic matter, specifically adsorption, are
widely recognized as a crucial mechanism for promoting the preservation of organic matter …

Several studies have been performed to model the storage and transport in organic matter
present in shale gas. However, the unconventional formation does not only contain organic …

The prediction of U (VI) adsorption onto montmorillonite clay is confounded by the
complexities of:(1) the montmorillonite structure in terms of adsorption sites on basal and …
