Abstract
Calculated diffraction profiles for interstratified kaolinite and montmorillonite have been used to determine the composition of clays reported from Poland, Japan and Mexico. The predicted layer proportions determined from the curves and by other methods are in close agreement for the first two but a higher kaolinite content than that originally proposed is obtained for the Mexican clays.Keywords
