Montmorillonite is a very soft phyllosilicate group of minerals that form when they precipitate from water solution as microscopic crystals, known as...

consisting mostly of montmorillonite (a type of smectite) which can either be Na-montmorillonite or Ca-montmorillonite. Na-montmorillonite has a considerably...

investigate the use of the mineral montmorillonite as a surface for ribonucleotide polymerization and other processes. Montmorillonite is formed by the accumulation...

the quartz based bodies. Dunting also occurs in wares produced from montmorillonite clay bodies due to the volume expansion of cristobalite during its...

commonly used are kaolin and the smectite clays such as bentonite, montmorillonite, and Fuller's earth. However, their use is declining, and modern evidence-based...
