Ronov and others (1970) reported that kaolinite that formed from granodiorite contained about 45 ppm lithium, but kaolinite that formed from amphibolite contained as much as 118 ppm lithium. These deter­ minations, however, were made on whole rocks; the purest sample was listed as ~100 percent kaolinite, which indicates the possible presence

The dehydroxylation of kaolinite occurred at ∼600°C with the formation of metakaolin, which then transformed into either γ-alumina or aluminium-silicon spinel together with amorphous silica. The results of the XRD and FTIR analyses indicated that the γ-alumina, or aluminium-silicon spinel and amorphous silica phases, transformed into ...

Kaolinite is described as a 1:1 clay mineral consisting of two layers joined through an apical oxygen. One layer is known as the siloxane layer and consists of silicon tetrahedra joined in an hexagonal array. This layer is coupled to a gibbsite-like layer consisting of octahedral aluminium bonded to four OH units and two oxygen atoms.
