Trimethyl Phosphate Induced Decomposition of Kaolinite
1994
Clays and clay minerals
The decomposition of kaolinite by treatment with trimethyl phosphate (TMP) and the composition of the new crystalline phase formed were studied. On hot treatment with TMP, kaolinite forms a crystalline white compound that is soluble in hot water. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the kaolinite treated shows both the typical reflections of kaolinite and, furthermore, a very strong reflection at 8.84 ~k. After 30 days of treatment with TMP, the silicate structure of kaolinite is completely
