This paper describes the amounts and size distributions of amorphous nanoparticles in
clays, soils and marine sediments, and the effect of amorphous nanoparticles on the …

Fracture filling minerals and the smectite-group clay minerals in particular play a significant
role in the geotechnical stability of the fractured rock mass. Smectites have multiple uses as …

Bentonites have been found widespread within the Bereketli member of the Cretaceous
Reşadiye Formation, central Anatolia. These bentonites were hypothesized to have been …

Widespread alteration in the Miocene lacustrine volcanic/sedimentary rocks of the Ankara-
Çankiri basin of central Anatolia has resulted in the formation of sizeable (economic) …

The widespread Balıkesir bentonite deposits within the Miocene volcano-sedimentary units
in western Anatolia have economic potential; they are important raw materials for the paper …

Bentonite-based geomaterials are included in the designs of geological repository planning
in most countries, especially in high-level radioactive waste disposal. Physical integrity of …

During the evolution of sedimentary basins, clay minerals may record changes in their
mineralogy, chemistry, and texture as a response to diagenesis, fluid flows, and tectonic …

Greenish veins occurring in brecciated bentonite were found in the Kawasaki bentonite
deposit of the Zao region in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Their occurrence possibly indicates …

There are numerous bentonite deposits, formed by the alteration of volcanic rocks, in the
Kapιkaya area (Eskişehir, western Turkey). These deposits can be classified into three …
