Kaolinite, dickite, nacrite, and halloysite can be differentiated from chlorite by comparisons of the 3.58-angstrom kaolin peak with the 3.54-angstrom chlorite peak (Biscaye, 1965), and from chlorite and the trioctahedral members of this group by intercalation with potassium acetate (Wada, 1965).
10%· 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 ...

CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): Abstract- A simple lectrostatic model has been used to demonstrate that he inner surface hydroxyls in kaolinite, dickite and nacrite are responsible for the interlayer bonding in these minerals. The contribution tothe interlayer bonding of an individual hydroxyl hydrogen depends on the orientation of the hydroxyl ...
Kaolinite is a clay mineral, with a soft consistency and earthy texture. It is easily broken and can be molded or shaped, especially when wet. Kaolinite is a lackluster and uninteresting mineral on its own, but it occasionally forms interesting pseudomorphs, especially after feldspars. It is also a common accessory to other minerals, including gem crystals in decomposing feldspar pegmatites.
Kaolin minerals are dioctahedral clays of 1:1 layer type with chemical composition Al 2Si 2O 5(OH) 4. Kaolinite, dickite, and nacrite are polytypes. The kaolinite stacking sequence consists of identical layers with an interlayer shift of 2a/3. Dickite and nacrite have a two-layer stack-ing sequence where the vacant site of the octahedral sheet

Kaolinite - also includes dickite and nacrite; formed by the decomposition of orthoclase feldspar (e.g. in granite); kaolin is the principal constituent in china clay. Illite - also includes glauconite (a green clay sand) and are the commonest clay minerals; formed by the decomposition of some micas and feldspars;
Nacrite Al2Si2O5(OH)4 ... Dickite, halloysite, and kaolinite are polymorphs. Mineral Group: Kaolinite-serpentine group. Occurrence: Of hydrothermal origin. Association: Kaolinite, dickite, mica, quartz. Distribution: Probably at many localities, but careful characterization is required for
The orientations of the hydoxyl groups in the minerals kaolinite, dickite and nacrite have been determined by an iterative process based on the minimization of the total electrostatic energy of the respective crystal structures. The hydroxyl shared by the tetrahedral and octahedral sheets is directed toward the empty octahedral sites in all ...
The XRD and FT-IR indicate the existence of kaolinite poorly ordered, monoclinic, mixed with others mineral, such as halloysite, dickite, nacrite, quartz, illite, feldspars. nacrite and poorly crystalline kaolinite at 5 to 600[degrees]K.
Clay minerals encompass the following agencies: Kaolin organization which includes the minerals kaolinite, dickite, halloysite, and nacrite (polymorphs of Al2Si2O5(OH)four). Some sources encompass the kaolinite-serpentine institution due to structural similarities (Bailey 1980).
