Features: This book systematically introduces clay mineral materials and their applications in environmental remediation. The content includes: the crystal structure characteristics of clay mineral materials; microstructural changes during thermal activation and acid activation processes; the preparation and characterization of organic/inorganic pillar clay mineral materials; the interfacial properties and environmental significance of interlayer domains of clay minerals; the remediation of contaminated groundwater by organic clay mineral materials; the treatment of red tide pollution by clay mineral materials; the control of fertilizer nutrients by clay mineral materials; the interfacial reaction mechanisms and selective adsorption of clay mineral materials with heavy metal ions; the adsorption characteristics of organic/inorganic composite pillar clay mineral materials for toxic organic pollutants; the treatment and disposal of radioactive waste by clay mineral materials; the control of desertification remediation technology by clay mineral materials; antibacterial clay mineral materials; noise control materials; nano-mesoporous composite photocatalytic materials; and an outlook on the application prospects of clay mineral materials in environmental remediation. This book is a monograph compiled based on the special articles, papers, and patents published by the author while leading projects such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China (40202007), the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province (994161, 000623, 020938), and the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (Zhong Bosi [1999] No. 10). It is highly advanced and practical. This book can serve as a reference for environmental science and engineering professionals, material science researchers, and senior undergraduate and graduate students in related fields.
