Quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis is performed on 172 samples mainly containing paleosol sections of Unayzah and Basal Khuff clastics taken from the core of one well drilled by Saudi Aramco. Quantitative XRD bulk mineralogical determination is achieved using the Rietveld refinement method whereas quantitative XRD clay mineralogical determination of clay-size fraction is obtained using the reference intensity ratio method. The XRD results indicate that the samples from paleosol sections consist mainly of quartz and feldspar (microcline and albite) as framework constituents. Cement minerals include dolomite, hematite, anhydrite, siderite, gypsum, calcite, and pyrite. Clay minerals are important constituents in paleosols. The XRD results show that clay minerals in the samples are illite, mixed-layer illite/smectite, kaolinite, and chlorite. No discrete smectite is present in the samples. The clay mineral associations in these samples of paleosol sections can be classified into three types: Type I predominantly consists of illite and a mixed layer of illite/smectite; Type II of kaolinite; and Type III of illite and a mixed layer of illite/smectite, but also significant amounts of kaolinite. The change of clay mineral association type with sample depth can indicate the change of paleoclimate and paleoenvironment. For example, kaolinite usually forms under strongly leaching conditions such as abundant rainfall, good drainage, and acid waters. Therefore, XRD mineralogical data of paleosol sections are important for petroleum geologists to study paleoclimate and paleoenvironment and to predict the reservoir quality of the associated rock formations.

AbstractClay minerals from Middle Jurassic lagoonal mudrocks, siltstones and silty fine-grained sandstones of the upper Great Estuarine Group (Bathonian) are divided into four assemblages. Assemblage 1, the most common assemblage, is rich in mixed-layer illite–smectite with attendant illite and kaolinite. Assemblage 2 is dominated by smectitic clay. These assemblages are indicative of primary Jurassic deposition. Illite and kaolinite were probably derived from the weathering of older rocks and soils in the basin hinterland and were deposited in the lagoons as river-borne detritus. The majority of smectite and mixed-layer illite–smectite is interpreted as the argillization product of Jurassic volcanic dust, also deposited in the lagoons by rivers. Near major Tertiary igneous intrusions these depositional clay mineral assemblages have been altered. Assemblage 3 contains smectite-poor mixed-layer illite–smectite, whilst Assemblage 4 contains no smectitic clay at all. Destruction of smectite interlayers occurred at relatively shallow burial depths (< 2500 m) due to enhanced geothermal gradients and local convective hot-water circulation cells associated with the major Tertiary igneous intrusions.

AbstractThe clay mineral assemblages of the Tithonian and Berriasian sediments (Tera and Oncala Groups) in the eastern part of the Cameros basin are investigated at seven localities. The lowest-grade assemblage, located on the southern border of the basin, contains calcite + quartz + hematite + kaolinite + mixed-layer illite-smectite (R = 1, 65 85% illite layers) + discrete illite (IC = 0.5 0.65Δ°2θ). Systematic increases in the illite and chlorite crystallinities suggest increasing metamorphic grade from the northwest part of the basin to the southeast. This trend does not follow the pattern previously described for the overlying late Berriasian–early Aptian sediments (Urbión and Enciso Groups), which exhibit a higher metamorphic grade. This may result from local variations in sedimentary facies, as well as the circulation of hot migratory fluids. Tertiary compression occurring long after the main metamorphic event is considered to be responsible for the enhanced illite and chlorite crystallinities measured in the SE extreme of the basin.

Abstract The presented work was dealing with the study of the commercial filler influence change in rubber blend by an alternative filler based on the clay mineral - illite. The focus of the presented work was aimed at the study of selected curing characteristics of rubber blend with addition of clay mineral filler and physico-mechanical properties of prepared vulcanizates. Curing characteristics, the processing safety, minimum and maximum torque, optimal curing time and curing rate coefficient were determined during the curing experiment phase. Selected physico-mechanical properties were given by the determination of hardness, tensibility and tensile strength. The obtained results proved the possibility of partial commercial filler replacement by an alternative filler and the positive effect of clay mineral on resulting important properties in rubber industry.

AbstractEleven shales and fourteen turbidite sandstones from the Mam Tor Beds were analysed chemically and by XRD. The ratio of kaolinite to illite plus mixed-layer clay was higher in the sandstones than in the shales, size fractions demonstrating that this ratio decreased as the grain size decreased. Shales more basinal in character than those of the Mam Tor Beds contain more illite and mixed-layer clay and less kaolinite and it is suggested that there was a lateral variation in clay mineralogy with distance from the shore line due to particle size sorting and that the character of the clay mineral fraction was retained as the turbidity current transported sediment from a nearshore environment deeper into the basin. Support for this model was obtained from the geochemistry which showed that the sandstone matrix differed compositionally from the shales. Systematic variations occurred in the turbidite sandstones but not in the shales which are therefore considered to be non-turbiditic. Only minor mineralogical changes appear to have occurred during diagenesis.

AbstractThe expert system described in the first part of this paper has been applied to the identification of mixed-layer phyllosilicates (mica-smectite, mica-vermiculite, chlorite-smectite, chlorite-vermiculite, chlorite-swelling chlorite, chlorite-mica, chlorite-talc, kaolinite-smectite, talc-smectite), and to the determination of their structural parameters (Reichweite, R, and proportions of constituting layers, Wi). The expert system has been run utilizing the data extracted from (1) experimental XRD patterns for which structural parameters had been evaluated by comparison with calculated patterns, or (2) patterns calculated using pre-selected values of the structural parameters. In all cases examined, the expert system provided correct conclusions concerning the identification of a mixed-layer phyllosilicate and the value of the Reichweite, while the abundances of the component layers were evaluated with a margin of error usually <5%.
