kaolin as a source material, mixed with alkali solution consisting of 10 M NaOH and …

Acid activation is a common chemical modification of clays, usually bentonites, with a hot
solution of a mineral acid (typically HCl or H 2 SO 4), and it is used for both scientific and …

Biodiesel production from transesterification of vegetable oils in excess methanol was
performed by using as-prepared catalyst from low-cost kaolin clay. This effective …

Clays are materials originated from rock decomposition, made up of clay minerals and non-
clayish minerals. Their applicability in the field of cosmetics depends on their chemical and …
