PYROPHYLLITE AS AN ECOLOGICAL MINERAL OF THE FUTURE
Pyrophyllite (Al2Si4O10(OH)2) is a layered phyllosilicate mineral with a basic 2:1 crystal structure,consisting of an aluminum octahedral layer placed between two silicon tetrahedral layers (T-O-T),connected by weak Van der Waals forces, which results in easy structural disruption. Naturalpyrophyllite has an electroneutral surface, which causes a h...

REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS FROM LANDFILL LEACH WATER USING PYROPHYLLITE AS ADSORBENT
Leachate water from sanitary landfills represents one of the most complex global environmentalproblems. This paper examines the possibility of using aluminosilicate material, pyrophyllite, fromthe Parsovići deposit, as an adsorbent. It was researched the influence of two granulations ofpyrophyllite (0-53 μm and 0-100 μm) on the degree of adso...
