Pozzolanic Reaction in Clayey Soils for Stabilization Purposes: A Classical Overview of Sustainable Transport Geotechnics by Kennedy C. Onyelowe, Michael E. Onyia, Duc Bui Van, Haci Baykara, Hyginus U. Ugwu

“…When clayey soils which make up the greatest fraction of expansive soil come in contact with moisture, they experience volume changes due to adsorbed moisture that forms films of double diffused layer on the particles. When this happens, the clayey particles disperse and float, increasing the pore spaces or voids that exist in the soil mass. …”

Enhanced Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity of Mesoporous Anatase TiO2 Codoped with Nitrogen and Chlorine by Xiuwen Cheng, Xiujuan Yu, Zipeng Xing, Lisha Yang

“…The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectrum (UV-vis DRS). XRD results indicated that codoping with nitrogen and chlorine could effectively retard the phase transformation of TiO2 from anatase to rutile and the growth of the crystallite sizes. …”

One-Step Synthesis of TiO2/Perlite Composites by Flame Spray Pyrolysis and Their Photocatalytic Behavior by M. Giannouri, Th. Kalampaliki, N. Todorova, T. Giannakopoulou, N. Boukos, D. Petrakis, T. Vaimakis, C. Trapalis

“…The anatase-rutile interplay was also demonstrated by the Raman spectra where presence of Si-O-Ti vibrational modes was observed for some samples. The UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra of the TiO2/perlite composites revealed up to 70% reflection that was connected to the presence of the gray perlite and superficial carbon. …”

Interaction of Cationic Polymer-Treated Geosynthetic Clay Liners with Various Saline Solutions by Hakkı O. Özhan

“…The effect of adding cationic polymer to the GCL on hydraulic conductivity and swell index was related to the electrostatic forces among polymer-bentonite-saline solution and diffuse double layer respectively. Increasing the concentration and valence of the cation in the saline solutions resulted in both increase in hydraulic conductivity and decrease in swell index. …”
