    Removal of selected anions by raw halloysite and smectite clay
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Prokop, Anna; Maziarz, Paulina; Matusik, Jakub
    The structure of clay minerals consists of tetrahedral and octahedral sheets, which can form 1:1, 2:1, and 2:1:1 layers. The halloysite, which belongs to the kaolin group, is composed of 1:1 layers while smectite group minerals contains 2:1 dioctahedral layer. The presence of numerous active centers on mineral surfaces and/or in the interlayer spaces allows them to attract and exchange ions from aqueous solutions.
