Fibrous illite is one of the most important cements that grows within sandstones during burial, and the only one which is commonly dated using the K–Ar age technique. A small quantity of illite can dramatically reduce porefluid flow rates within a sandstone, ...

Variations in the morphology of illitic clay minerals were observed in the Kamikita hydrothermal system for illitized smectite. Particle sizes and microtopographies were measured by transmission electron microscopy using Pt shadowing and Au decoration. Particle ...

<p>This report is a collection of stress - strain charts which were produced by deforming selected simulated fault gouge materials.</p>

CHEMICAL composition. X-ray diffraction and other analytical data of a series of samples of clays that are composed essentially of illite are presented. The physical properties of these samples are given and related to variations in the composition and character ...

This study is concerned with the dispersion characteristics of montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite clay minerals in waters of different hardness and the relation of these characteristics to the control of canal seepage by artificial sedimentation. The ...
