Microbial Fe-reduction in smectite structure plays a significant role in illitization accompanying with the structural/chemical modification of smectite, closely linked to the physico-chemical properties of clays, Fe-liberation, water chemistry, elemental cycles, and fault behavior. Biotic dissolution of smectite is a major process that promotes illitization, however direct evidence of illite formation...
The smectite-to-illite reaction, termed illitization, is a ubiquitous process in siliciclastic sedimentary environments and plays a significant role in biogeochemical cycling, plant nutrition, petroleum maturation/migration, particle dispersion–aggregation, and contaminant uptake. The change in the redox state of structural Fe in smectite as a consequence of microbial Fe respiration, in part, controls...
