| Summary |
Layer charge is recognised as the single most important characteristic of 2:1 phyllosilicates, indicating a mineral's capacity to retain cations and to absorb water and various polar organic molecules. It is also considered an important criterion for the classification of 2:1 silicate clay minerals, it being generally agreed that the magnitude of the layer charge can be taken into account to resolve the classification problem. This volume, presenting current knowledge of the area, was the product of a joint meeting in October 1992 of the Clay Minerals Society and the Soil Science Society of America. |
