Observation of the hydrated form of tubular halloysite by an electron microscope equipped with an environmental cell

TL;DR: In this paper, the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis of the halloysite (10 A) and its morphological changes by dehydration was performed by a conventional electron microscope equipped with an environmental cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

An electron optical investigation of the alteration of kaolinite to halloysite

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that parallel-oriented and exceptionally long (> 10 μm) tubes of halloysite occur in the pallid zone of a deeply-weathered lateritic profile on granite in southwest Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rate control in feldspar dissolution—II. The protective effect of precipitates

TL;DR: In this article, the ability of precipitates formed during incongruent dissolution of feldspars in aqueous solutions to act as barriers to mass transfer between the feldspar and the bulk solution is examined using the available textural evidence on such precipitates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seafloor hydrothermal clay alteration at Jade in the back-arc Okinawa trough: Mineralogy, geochemistry and isotope characteristics

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of kaolin minerals requires much more acidic fluid than expected from simple mixing of hydrothermal fluids and cold seawater, which cannot explain the occurrence of abundant kaolin mineral at Jade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fe-Speciation in Kaolins: A Diffuse Reflectance Study

TL;DR: In this paper, the second derivative spectra of various Fe-phases (hematite, goethite, lepidocrocite, maghemite, akaganeite, ferrihydrite and Fe-polymer) were used to distinguish between the Fe-oxides occurring as coatings and as occluded phases.

The kaolin minerals1

TL;DR: In this paper, a report of an investigation of the clay minerals, nacrite, diekite, and kaolinite is presented in which the methods of study are explained.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Refinement of the Dickite Structure and Some Remarks on Polymorphism in Kaolin Minerals1

TL;DR: In this article, a model consistent with the infra-red absorption spectra is proposed to position the hydrogen atoms in dickite, and the stacking sequences of kaolin-layer minerals have been considered with reference to the structural features observed in Dickite.

Transformation of Montmorillonite to Kaolinite during Weathering

TL;DR: Deposits of kaolinite in Florida are formed by transformation of montmorillonite during low-temperature supergene weathering by intracrystalline leaching of interlayer cations and tetrahedral silica layers, creating a regular 1:1 mixedlayered montMorillonite-kaolinite, a new clay structure.
