Composition of Smectite from Maastrichtian Sediment of the Afikpo Basin, southeast Nigeria

Composition of Smectite from Maastrichtian Sediment of the Afikpo Basin, southeast Nigeria

The sand, silt, shale and clay fractions soils derived from Maastrichtian sediments in the Afikpo Basin, southeastern Nigeria exhibit unusually high cation-exchange capacities. Smectite was identified by X-ray diffraction in all sample fractions and was selectively dissolved by treatment with 1HCl...
