Effect of Structural Fe Reduction on Water Sorption by Swelling and Non-Swelling Clay Minerals

Ferruginous clay minerals in saturated soils and within hydrocarbon deposits often exist in a reduced state. Upon introduction of dissolved oxygen, or other oxidants, the clay minerals oxidise and changes in mineral surface charge and sorption capacity occur, resulting in changes in hydration as wel...
