Fig. 1. (A) X-ray diffraction patterns of the clay fraction after Mg saturation at 25°C, Mg-glycerol solvation at 25°C, K saturation at 25°C, and K saturation at 550°C; (B) representative scanning electron micrograph of the clay fraction. The energy dispersive x-ray spectrum shown corresponds to the platy particle indicated by the arrows. The Au and Pd were a result of the coating process. Scale bar equals 5 µm and no peaks were detected beyond 10 keV.
