Laterite is both a soil and a rock type rich in iron and aluminum and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content. They develop by intensive and prolonged weathering of the underlying parent rock. Tropical weathering (laterization) is a ...

Definition of Laterite. Although lateritic and bauxitic materials have been widely studied, no generally accepted definition of laterite exists. Many definitions have been proposed since the first description of laterites by Buchanan (1807). Excellent reviews of the old definitions are given by Sivarajasingham et al. (1962) and Maignien (1966).

A careful examination of the exposed vertical profiles of the quarry on the basis of texture, appearance, and relative strength of the lateritic materials in situ helped …

laterite, soil layer that is rich in iron oxide and derived from a wide variety of rocks weathering under strongly oxidizing and leaching conditions. It forms in tropical and subtropical regions where the climate is humid. Lateritic soils may contain clay minerals; but they tend to be silica-poor, for silica is leached out by waters passing through the soil.

La latérite désigne un matériau induré utilisé pour la construction d'édifices dans les régions tropicales. Les sols latéritiques sont des sols maigres, lessivés et appauvris en silice et en éléments nutritifs fertilisants ( calcium, magnésium, potassium, sodium ). La végétation, comme les grandes forêts équatoriales, est ...

Ultisols of Kerala vis-à-vis Ultisols/Oxisols of the world Ideally the term laterite is equivalent to Oxisols in USDA Soil Classification system (Buol and Eswaran 2000). In Oxisols, the primary requirement is an oxic horizon with low CEC, low ECEC, and low amount of weatherable minerals (<10%).

A pilot-scale experimental CW containing laterite achieved 96% removal of phosphorus. This removal is much greater than that reported in other systems. Initial removals of aluminium and iron by pilot-scale CWs have been up to 85% and 98% respectively. Percolating columns of laterite reduced Cd, Cr and Pb to undetectable concentrations.

Lateritic deposits are a type of weathering product that forms in tropical and subtropical regions through the process of laterization. Laterization involves the leaching of silica and other soluble materials from rocks, leaving behind a residual concentration of iron and aluminum oxides. The resulting deposits, known as laterites, are characterized by …

Abstract. Naturally fed laterites evolve in soils rich in iron and aluminum, the soils having derived from the in situ weathering of igneous or metamorphic rocks or from transported soils which have the same properties. A special case is laterite formed upon inert soils by enrichment of iron and aluminum oxides from an outside source.

Le type de cuisson. Il y a deux types de cuisson, en fonction de la composition de l'air présent dans le four pendant la cuisson : en atmosphère oxydante: la cuisson se déroule à 100 % dans une atmosphère contenant de l'oxygène ;; en atmosphère réductrice: une partie de la cuisson (souvent vers la fin de la montée en température et …

The laterite dose was varied from 0.2 to 1.2 g for the selected agitation time and initial solute concentration. It is observed that as the dose of laterite increases the extent of fluoride adsorbed increases (Fig. 2).It is seen that for all concentrations the adsorption corresponding to a laterite dose below 0.4 g is poor; it increases afterward …

Abstract. Reviewing the different meanings that have been given to the term "laterite" since Buchanan's original paper (Buchanan, 1807), Schellmann (1981, 1982) proposed to give to this particular rock the following definition: "Laterites are products of intense subaerial weathering whose Fe and/or Al content is higher and Si content is ...
