| Abstract |
| Dehydration transformation in a Mg-rich trioctahedral sample of
hectorite has been studied by applying DTA and a X-ray line profile
technique developed by De et al.4 •5 The transformation has been
explained in terms of layer disorder which has been found to increase
with dehydration leading finally to the metaphase. The results have
been compared with those of 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 dioctahedral layer silicates.
Several useful conclusions have been drawn on the thermal
behaviour of the di- and trioctahedrallayer silicates. |
