Abstract

Two clays of the kaolinite type, one from Bihar and the other from Kerala, were each separated into particle-size fractions greater than and smaller than 1·4 µ.e.s.d. X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, cation-exchange capacity and moisture absorption determinations and chemical analysis of the fractions showed that the micaceous mineral was concentrated in the fine fraction of one whereas it was mostly in the coarse fraction of the other. The evidence suggests that the mineral in the former belongs to the illite group and in the latter to the mica group.
