Efficiency of natural clay and titania P25 composites in the
In this paper, we use Tunisian clay materials as alternative low-cost adsorbents, as well as substrates to immobilise TiO2 for the decolouration of methylene blue () dye solutions. The collected raw clay from the mine of Tamra was characterised by various techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy …

Mineralogical, thermal and rheological characterization of some
The raw CT clay sample contains smectite as the major clay mineral associated with kaolinite and illite (69% of smectite and 14% of kaolinite) with a dioctahedral structure (d 060 = 1.50 Å). The positions of 001 reflections of the smectite appear at 14.95 Å for untreated sample, which attains 17.68 Å on the glycoled diffractogram.

Experimental evidence of laser diffraction accuracy for particle size
Because of the over-estimation of the clay fraction by sedimentation methods and to avoid confusion, Konert and Vandenberghe (1997) recommended not to read the upper limit of the clay range at 2 µm when L methods are used. In their work, they analysed equivalent limits for particles of different shapes with respect to the spherical assumption ...

Soil, Sand, and Sediment Applications
The nature of most samples is a wide range of particle sizes, from sub-micron clay up to sand and gravel. The size ranges have traditionally been measured with several different analytical techniques to cover the range, including sedimentation and sieves. The LA-960 allows samples to be run very quickly and to cover the size range in one analysis.

Phyllosilicates have a small grain-size, while the others are concentrated in the silt and sand grain-size. Clay minerals are characterized by tetrahedral sheets occupied by Si and subordinately Al and Fe 3+. These sheets join together along the surfaces with different combinations, giving rise to different layers, which in turn join to form ...

How to Do a Sedimentation Test on Soil
Here's the most efficient way to do it. Shake the jar of water and sediment thoroughly—a full minute is plenty—set it down and leave it for 24 hours. Then measure the height of the sediment, which includes everything: sand, silt, and clay. Shake the jar again and set it down. After 40 seconds, measure the height of the sediment.
