Those exhibiting antibacterial activity contained reduced-Fe in one or more mineral phases, including expandable phyllosilicates. One such clay, dominantly rectorite, was bactericidal against 32 Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA.
The swelling process of rectorite (REC) was revealed from porosity changing with water contents.
Such structural considerations suggest that resultant 20-Å units ("rectorite units") are unique in structure and chemistry relative to true illite. These results further …
The rectorite, a regular mixed layer mineral consisting of dioctahedral swelling and non-swelling 2:1 layers, from North Little Rock, Arkansas, was studied to define the crystal …
Moreover, it was found that after being thermally treated at ca. 1000 degrees C, the SiO4 tetrahedral units in the rectorite mineral are distorted, while the AlO6 octahedral units are decomposed ...
