Abstract

The use of thermal and acid treatments, prior to X-ray diffraction examination, for the identification of kaolinite and chlorite in mixture is discussed. Thermal treatment, although useful in confirming the presence of chlorite, cannot give definite information on the presence of kaolinite, but acid treatment is conclusive in this respect.
