ARGILE SEDIMENTAIRE TRANSFORMEE [1 record]

Record 1 1977-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geology
  • Chemical Engineering
OBS

The clays transformed to sedimentary basins (...) obviously can be subjected to sorting of various kinds, and also to physico-chemical modifications. The latter are more difficult to demonstrate. These modifications, often tenuous but important from a geochemical point of view, will be called here "transformation" (...). These are physico-chemical transformations of inherited material; we shall speak of "clays transformed during sedimentation".

Domaine(s)
  • Géologie
  • Génie chimique
OBS

Les argiles menées aux bassins de sédimentation (...) peuvent être l'objet de divers triages, ce qui est évident mais aussi de modifications physico-chimiques, ce qui est plus difficile à démontrer. Ces modifications, souvent ténues, mais importantes au point de vue géochimique, seront appelées ici les transformations (...). Il s'agit de transformations physico-chimiques d'un matériel hérité: nous parlerons "d'argiles transformées au cours de la sédimentation".
