The Dependence of Localized Crystallization of Halloysite and Kaolinite

The formation of kaolin-group minerals in the weathering profile of granite, under the humid, temperate climate as found in Korea, was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron microprobe analysis (EMA). The granite was gradually weathered to saprolite. K-rich feldspar was not weathered in the profile, but plagioclase …

Kaolin

Kaolinite is a mineral belonging to the group of aluminosilicates. It is commonly referred to as "China Clay" because it was first discovered in Kao-Lin, China. The term kaolin is used to describe a group of relatively common clay minerals dominated by kaolinite and derived primarily from the alteration of alkali feldspar and micas.Kaolin is a white, soft, plastic clay mainly …

Chapter 5 Kaolin minerals

At the Mikawa mine, the kaolinite in the altered wall rocks tends to be more disordered than that in the veins (Nagasawa, 1961). At the Seta mine, the kaolinite in the kaolin zone is more disordered than that in the surrounding quartz-kaolin-alunite zone (Komura and Sudo, 1976). Sedimentary kaolinites are of disordered type irrespective of age.

What the –ic? An Introduction to Alteration

Argillic alteration is characterized as "advanced" or "intermediate" depending on how severely the minerals in the original host rock have been changed. Intermediate argillic alteration occurs at low temperatures and replaces plagioclase feldspars with the clay minerals kaolinite and montmorillonite.
