Quantitative X-ray diffraction phase analysis of poorly ordered nontronite clay in nickel laterites

Studies of the extraction of nickel from low-grade laterite ores require a much better quantitative understanding of the poorly ordered mineral phases present, including turbostratically disordered nontronite. Whole pattern refinements with nontronite X-ray diffraction data from a Western Australian...
