Various additives and fillers may be employed. Calcium carbonate, talc, carbon black, titanium dioxide, and wollastonite are commonly used as fillers. Plasticizers are often utilized also. Plasticizers may reduce viscosity and may help adhesion to certain substrates. Thixotropes such as fumed silica, structured clays, precipitated silica, PVC powder, etc. can be added. Adhesion promoters, such as silane coupling agents, may also be used in the formulation [69].

A recent investigation has demonstrated the usefulness of ultrasonic irradiation in the preparation of delaminated zeolites, which are a particular type of modified oxides - microporous crystalline aluminosilicates with three-dimensional structures - having a greater catalytic activity than the layered structures (clays) and mesoporous catalysts. In an attempt to increase the pore size of zeolites, a layered zeolite precursor was...

With the aid of color illustrations Harrell and Russell (I) have shown some of the color changes that can occur in several clay bodies when the furnace atmosphere is varied from oxidizing to reducing and when its moisture content is controlled. Brownell (2) has summarized the roles of several factors influencing the development of scummed surfaces on brick and other structural clay products. Matson (3) has discussed the relationship of the firing temperatures of ancient Near Eastern pottery and the colors developed together with other physical properties of the wares.

Attapulgite and sepiolite data plot on both sides of the neutral line.. The calculated structural formulas of these two clays are more subject to error than those of the sheet structure clays. As is suggested by their low cation exchange capacity octahedral sheets tend to approach neutrality. The amount of R3+ required to maintain neutrality is less if OH substitues for O2. ...

In this type of equipment, an Archimedean screw is used to pressurize material in a plastic state and force it through a suitable die. This principle is most widely used in molding and forming operations, such as with plastics [22] and structural clay products [9]. These applications are highly specialized and will not be discussed here since they are usually considered to be outside normal size enlargement techniques.

Bentonite, whose main ingredient is montmorillonite, is one kind of layer structure clay mineral. It is an ideal material for preparation of pillared clays. If metal cations with high catalytic activity were intercalated in the interlayers of montmorillonite, a new type of solid acid catalyst can be obtained. The catalytic activity of the catalyst is closely associated with its porosity, specific surface area and surface total acidity. One of the effective ways to enhance catalytic activity is to prepare catalyst with appropriate metal cations and structure.

Similarly pure beds of kerolite and sepiolite are found in the modern and Pleistocene groundwater wetlands of Amboseli, Kenya (Stoessell and Hay, 1978 Hay and Stoessell, 1984 Hay et al, 1995). The concentration of dissolved silica is also important at higher ratios of Si02 to Mg, chain-structure clay (sepiolite-palygorskite) can precipitate directly from solution, as is also the case at Amargosa.
