Notes: the table lists the relative proportions of the minerals to the total detected content rather than the overall content since some minerals are undetectable. K means kaolinite, C means chlorite, It means illite, and I/S means mixed illite-smectite layers minerals, and S% is the illite proportion in layers of mixed illite and smectite; BE means before the experiment, and AE means after the experiment.
