Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemoval of Pb+2 Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption on Kaolinite ClayWaid Omar, Hossam Al-ItawiThe adsorption potential of the kaolinite clay for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions was tested. The measured adsorption isotherms at the different temperatures 298.15 K, 308.15 K and 318.15 K were found to be perfectly fit to the Langmuir isotherm equation. A high adsorption capacity was calculated. An increase in the retention capacity with increasing temperature was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCharacterization and Evaluation of Algaof Kaolin Deposits of Yemen for Industrial ApplicationAref A. AL-Shameri, Lei Xin RongProblem statement: The Barat-Algaof kaolin deposits are characterized and evaluated for its potentials as an industrial raw material. Approach: This research studied the total mineralogical composition of the kaolin deposit, chemical and physical properties as well as intercalation of kaolinite by urea. Using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Laser particle size, Centrifuge, data from UK (England) kaolin standard … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWater Filter Fabrication from a Mixture of KMnO4 Modified Kapok Carbon Fiber, Zeolite, Bentonite and Clay for Fe3+Removal and Water Hardness TreatmentKannika Thongdee, Kalayaporn Parun, Suphakrit Benjatitmongkhon et al.A water filter was fabricated from a mixture of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber, zeolite, bentonite and kaolinite clay for Fe3+ removal and water hardness treatment. The effects of amount of KMnO4 modified kapok carbon fiber (30-60 wt%), zeolite (20-40 wt%) and sintering temperature (500-700°C) on the properties of sintered products were evaluated. The best of sintered products were tested … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2017 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF DRYING PARAMETERS OF CERAMIC BODIESSalah Mahmoudi, Ezzeddine Srasra, Fouad ZargouniThis study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical and geotechnical analyses of representative Aptian clays in the north-east of Tunisia. X-ray diffraction reveals a predominance of illite (50-60 wt.%) associated to kaolinite and interstratified illite/smectite. The accessory minerals detected in raw materials are quartz, calcite and Na-feldspar. The average amounts of silica, alumina and alkalis are 52, 20 and 3.5 wt.%, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelected Soil Morphological, Mineralogical and Sesquioxide Properties of Rehabilitated and Secondary ForestsB. T. Saga, O. H. Ahmed, A. S. Jamaluddin et al.Problem statement: The tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia have been characterized by several researchers. However empirical data on soil characteristics under degraded forest land in tropical rain forest and rehabilitated program are limited. A study was conducted to evaluate the soil morphology, mineralogical and sesquioxide properties of a rehabilitated degraded forest land (19 years after it was planted with … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 8,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Grain Size on Selected Physico-Chemical Properties of ClayOsumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Mixture of the right proportion of expanding and non-expanding clays to improve plasticity (moldability) of clays used in the pot industry of Malaysia is yet to be well investigated. In addition, little is known about the choice of the right clay size to eliminate or reduce the content of undesirable compounds such as Fe2O3, Al2O3 to improve the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehavior of Stabilized Peat Soils in Unconfined Compression TestsWong Leong Sing, Roslan Hashim, Faisal Haji AliProblem statement: Deep stabilized peat columns were known to be economical at forming foundations to support highway embankments constructed on deep peat land. However, failure in the formation of the columns with adequate strength was often attributed to unsuitable type and insufficient dosage of binder added to the soil. Organic matter in peat was known to impede the cementing process … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Suspended Sediments Concentration in Surface Waters, Using Modis ImagesMobasheri Mohammad RezaRemote sensing from air-borne and space-borne sensors have proved to be a useful method for Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) estimation as it provides an instantaneous and synoptic view of suspended sediments that would otherwise be unavailable. The reason for the success of remote sensing in such surveys is the strong positive relationship that exists between SSC and remotely sensed water … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDensification Behaviour of a Red Firing Tunisian Triassic ClayHajer Baccour, Mounir Medhioub, Fakher Jamoussi, Taher. MhiriInvestigations were undertaken to assess the thermal modification in clay products from Triassic sedimentary deposits. This study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical, thermal analysis and faience making attributes of representative Triassic clay in the south-Eastern Tunisia. The data collected from these techniques show that illite and kaolinite are the major clay phases. The accessory minerals detected in powdered rock are; … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,109 accessesView PDFCite
