A Theoretical Study on the Inclusion of Fe, Cu, and Zn in Illite Clays

The inclusion of Fe, Cu, and Zn in (1, 0, 0), (0, 0.5, 0), and (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) sites of an illite with the KAl2Si4O12H2 structure has been studied. For the inclusion of the metals, their common oxidation states were chosen, that is, 0, +2, +3 and 0, +1, +2, for Fe and Cu, respectively, while 0 and +...
