A statistical reappraisal of the relationship between liquid limit and specific surface area, cation exchange capacity and activity of clays

More than 500 datasets from the literature have been used to evaluate the relationships of specific surface area (SSA), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and activity versus the liquid limit (LL). The correlations gave R2 values ranging between 0.71 and 0.92. Independent data were also used to validate...
