Clay minerals such as kaolinite, smectite, chlorite, micas are main components of raw materials of clay and formed in presence of water. A large number of clays used to form the different structure which completely depends on their mining source. They ar
1: It is man-made (not naturally occurring) STEEL IS ALSO NOT A MINERAL, WHY? 1: It is man-made (not naturally occurring) 2: It does not have a chemical composition because it is a mixture of iron and carbon 3: It does not have a crystal shape “Diamonds are Forever” Reading Be...

Makes observations on the flexible unsmoothed cuticles of soil animals and their characteristics of reducing adhesion and resistance. Existence of stable adaption system for soil animals; Experimental procedure; Mechanics of resistance test.RenLuquan...
In this section, we will discuss different types of minerals. Minerals are naturally occurring substances, each with unique properties and uses. Let's explore some commonly known minerals and their characteristics. quartz: A hard, crystall...
natrium type and their mixture type of S/I have been identified according to the d values of main peaks on the XRD.Scanning electron microscope observation revealed that S/I exhibits three morphological habits: silk,meshwork and beehive, and occurs as covering on framework grain surface and pore...
Minerals can be identified by their physical characteristics. The physical properties of minerals are related to their chemical composition and bonding. Some characteristics, such as a mineral’s hardness, are more useful for mineral identification. Color is readily observable and certainly obvious, but...
of the reservoir quality have not been thoroughly studied, and only a few studies have been conducted on the Lulehe sandstone mainly focusing on different aspects, including sedimentary facies [27], heavy mineral characteristics and source analysis of the depositional environment [28,29,30,31,32]...
Rapidly transitioning the global energy system to renewables is considered necessary to combat climate change. Current estimates suggest that at least 30 energy transition minerals and metals (ETMs) form the material base for the energy transition. The i
The relation between the electrical conductivity (isolating property), dielectric property of some natural minerals and the mineral s composition, texture, impurity constituents, multiple-phase structure, lattice defect and lattice distortion as well as ambient temperature and atmospheric moisture were briefl...
