Applied Clay Science is an international publication medium for research papers, reviews, and resource and technical notes in the field of applied clay science and technology in a broad sense. The journal covers items such as: - Clay characterisation related to optimum industrial utilisation - Clay product preparation, including such topics as mineral extraction, mineral processing and modification of clay properties - Chemical, mineralogical, geochemical and physical properties and behaviour of clay minerals related to applications in the industrial production of: ceramics, construction materials, refractories, fillers and carriers (paper, paint, rubber, plastics, insecticides, animal food) - The role of clays and clay minerals as process aids: catalytic uses, adsorptive applications, filtering and refining media, slurry uses (drilling muds, etc.), bounding and pelletising applications, foundry moulding - Influence of clay composition and fabric on permeability and reservoir properties - Geotechnical applications of clays and clay minerals - Agricultural application such as the influence of clays on soil structure, fertility and water requirements - Environmental applications of clay science such as radioactive waste disposal, and water engineering - Justifications of quality requirements of clays and clay minerals.
