  2. Clay mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_mineral

    Clay minerals are hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates (e.g. kaolin, Al 2 Si 2 O 5 4), sometimes with variable amounts of iron, magnesium, alkali metals, alkaline earths, and other cations found on or near some planetary surfaces. Clay minerals form in the presence of water [1] and have been important to life, and many theories of abiogenesis ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay

    Clay is a type of fine-grained natural soil material containing clay minerals [1] (hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, e.g. kaolinite, Al 2 Si 2 O 5 4). Most pure clay minerals are white or light-coloured, but natural clays show a variety of colours from impurities, such as a reddish or brownish colour from small amounts of iron oxide. [2] [3]

  4. Montmorillonite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montmorillonite

    Montmorillonite, a member of the smectite group, is a 2:1 clay, meaning that it has two tetrahedral sheets of silica sandwiching a central octahedral sheet of alumina. The particles are plate-shaped with an average diameter around 1 μm and a thickness of 0.96 nm ; magnification of about 25,000 times, using an electron microscope, is required ...

  6. Expansive clay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansive_clay

    Expansive clay is a clay soil that is prone to large volume changes (swelling and shrinking) that are directly related to changes in water content. [1] Soils with a high content of expansive minerals can form deep cracks in drier seasons or years; such soils are called vertisols .

  7. Smectite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smectite

    2:1 clay minerals crystallographic structure made of three superimposed sheets of tetrahedra-octahedra-tetrahedra (TOT layer unit), respectively. The 2:1 layer (TOT) structure consists of two silica (SiO 2) tetrahedral (T) layers which are electrostatically cross-linked via an Al 2 O 3 (), or Fe 2 O 3, octahedral (O) central layer.
