TLDR
The viscosity of clay-water suspensions is an important factor in determining commercial uses of Georgia Kaolins as mentioned in this paper, however, seemingly pure kaolinite clays also show variations which seem to be related to morphology and degree of crystallinity.Abstract:
The viscosity of clay-water suspensions is an important factor in determining commercial uses of Georgia Kaolins. Impurities, such as montmorillonite type minerals, in these basically kaolinite clays play a part in causing variations in viscosity. However, seemingly pure kaolinite clays also show variations which seem to be related to morphology and degree of crystallinity. Studies are underway to determine the various factors involved.read more

Geology and Mineralogy of the Sedimentary Kaolins of the Southeastern United States—A Review
TL;DR: The commercial deposits of kaolin clay discussed herein lie throughout the sands of the Upper Cretaceous Tuscaloosa formation and are localized in a narrow belt along the southeast edge of the “fall line” from Macon, Georgia, to Aiken, South Carolina.

Interrelationships of Physical and Chemical Properties of Kaolinites
TL;DR: In this article, rank-correlation coefficients are utilized to show relationships between physical and chemical properties of Georgia and English kaolins, and they show a strong correlation to properties indicative of montmorillonite.

Water-Vapor Sorption on Kaolinite: Hysteresis
TL;DR: In this paper, a molecular model for water-vapor sorption is proposed, in which the energy of sorption at different sites is believed to be a function of the hydration state of the exchangeable ion.

Relation of viscosity of kaolin-water suspensions to montmorillonite content of certain georgia clays
TL;DR: The viscosity of certain kaolin-water systems was correlated with natural montmorillonite content of the kaolin, as determined quantitatively by the Hinckley-Bates (1960) strontium-exchange technique as mentioned in this paper.

Rheological Properties of Kaolins of Varying Degrees of Crystallinity
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study was made of the flow properties of carefully sized fractions of different kaolins of varying degrees of crystallinity, and the results indicated that changes in flow properties should parallel changes in surface area (and cation-exchange) properties.
