Abstract

The resolution of the infrared spectra of structural OH in kaolin-group minerals increases with decreasing temperature. Poorly crystalline kaolinite gives typical infrared spectra, which suggest the existence of kaolinite-, dickite-, and nacrite-like configurations. The relative amount dickite- and nacrite-like configurations compared with kaolinite-like configurations increases with decreasing crystallinity. Low-temperature infrared spectroscopy is a more sensitive means of estimating the degree of order of poorly crystalline kaolinite than is X-ray powder diffraction.
