Experimental Determination of Smectite Hydration States Under Simulated Diagenetic Conditions (high-Temperature, X-Ray Diffraction, Dehydration)

Abstract

dc:description

The hydration states of a dioctahedral smectite in contact with saline solutions were determined at temperatures and hydraulic pressures that simulate burial diagenetic environments. A high-pressure high-temperature X-ray cell, mounted on an automated General Electric XRD3 X-ray diffractometer, was used to monitor the basal reflections.
