Adsorption of Thymol onto Natural Clays of Morocco: Kinetic and Isotherm Studies by Hamid Ziyat, Mohammed Naciri Bennani, Hassan Hajjaj, Omar Qabaqous, Said Arhzaf, Soumiya Mekdad, Safae Allaoui

“…The present work aims to study the affinity of a component of the thyme essential oil “thymol” to natural Moroccan clay “Rhassoul” using the adsorption technique. The physicochemical characterizations of the purified and modified clay were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), DTA/TGA, and SEM-EDX. …”

Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Ring Foundations Embedded in Undrained Homogeneous Clay by An-hui Wang, Yan-fang Zhang, Fan Xia, Ru-ping Luo, Ning Wang

“…This paper is aimed at exploring the ultimate bearing capacity of ring foundations embedded in undrained clay. Based on the finite element limit analysis, effects of the inside-to-outside radius ratio, embedment depth ratio, cutting face inclination angle, and face roughness on the vertical ultimate bearing capacity of ring foundations are investigated. …”

Sulfuric Acid and Ammonium Sulfate Leaching of Alumina from Lampang Clay by Paweena Numluk, Aphiruk Chaisena

“…The optimum conditions for the extraction of alumina from Lampang clay include grinding the clay to pass through a 200 mesh sieve, calcining the ground clay at 750°C for 30 min, extracting the alumina from the calcined clay by leaching with 3M sulfuric acid, and using an acid to clay ratio of 80 wt% at 100°C for 120 min. …”

Physical Modelling of Rainfall-Induced Sandy and Clay-Like Slope Failures by Martina Vivoda Prodan, Josip Peranić, Sara Pajalić, Željko Arbanas

“…The main observations arising from the results of the conducted tests relate to initiation and development of the observed instabilities of sandy and clay-like slopes. The test results have shown that within the slopes built from clean sand failure occurs due to groundwater level rising at the slope foot and further retrogressive failure towards the top of the slope, while in the slopes built from sand-kaolin mixtures, instabilities occur in the form of cracks in unsaturated conditions and are the result of matric suction dissipation due to rainfall infiltration.…”

SOME PECULIAR FEATURES IN SHRINKAGE OF CLAY MASS DURING DRYING PROCESS by I. K. Ivanovsky, S. N. Osipov, L. V. Rafeenkova

“…The paper contains results of correlation and stochastic analysis for regularities in shrinkage of the Lukoml clay and molding mass prepared on its base, and also the Gloukhov and Gloukhovetsky kaolin and their mixtures.It has been revealed that an exponent is the most convenient approximation form of the shrinkage characteristic for the Lukoml clay and molding mass prepared on its base within significant range of moisture changes.After products’ molding in a vacuum press a linear dependence is considered as the most convenient type of approximation within the range of moisture changes and with the main shrinkage.…”
