Examples

As a result, kaolinite does not swell in water and has a low specific surface area, and as almost no isomorphous substitution has occurred it has a low CEC. Source: Internet

Because of the observed very slow crystallization rates of kaolinite from solution at room temperature Fripiat and Herbillon (1971) postulated the existence of high activation energies in the low-temperature nucleation of kaolinite. Source: Internet

Based on the lack of convincing results in their own experiments, La Iglesia and Van Oosterwijk-Gastuche (1978) had to conclude, however, that there were other, still unknown, factors involved in the low-temperature nucleation of kaolinite. Source: Internet

At the Huntley clay mine white chalky clay called kaolinite is mined; the kaolinite is exposed on the resurgent dome and appears as a brilliant white band. Source: Internet

Between 100 °C and about convert, any remaining liquid water is expelled from kaolinite. Source: Internet

Clays and Clay Minerals, vol.26, pp.397-408 thought that the conditions under which kaolinite will nucleate can be deduced from stability diagrams based as these are on dissolution data. Source: Internet
