Abstract
The formation process of kaolinite from the amorphous mixture of silica and alumina by hydrothermal reaction was studied by XRD, IR, DTA-TG, TEM, and high-resolution solid state 29 Si- and 27 Al-MAS/NMR. The amorphous mixture of the starting material prepared with commercially available silica-sol and alumina-sol was hydrothermally treated with distilled water in a Teflon pressure vessel at 220°C for a reaction time varying from 1 to 144 hours. The Q 4 state component of the amorphous starting material changed into an intermediate amorphous Q 3 state. The intermediate amorphous phase converted into crystalline kaolinite with spherical shape (Q 3 state). The yield and crystallinity of kaolinite increased with an increase in the reaction time

Chapter 4 Synthetic Clay Minerals and Purification of Natural Clays

TL;DR: This chapter describes synthetic clay minerals and purification of natural clays, a complete purification cycle is time consuming but not all the purification steps are always necessary; steps can be omitted depending on the purpose of the investigation.

Experimental study of the hydrothermal formation of kaolinite

TL;DR: Kaolinite was hydrothermally precipitated starting from amorphous aluminosilicates, with Si/Al ratio from 18 to 076, at temperatures of 150, 175, 200, 225 and 250°C, at time periods varying from 6 h to 60 days.

Crystal Growth of Organohectorite Clay As Revealed by Atomic Force Microscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the first time that temporal snapshots of a clay's nucleation and crystallization processes have been presented, the observed view does not support the perhaps predicted scene of small crystallites slowly ripening into large plates.

Growth Conditions and Genesis of Spherical and Platy Kaolinite

TL;DR: The results indicated that the growth of the spherical kaolinite was favored at high degrees of supersaturation, whereas the growth was relatively low at relatively low degrees of superaturation as discussed by the authors.
