Abstract

Calculated X-ray diffraction profiles of 10 Å-17 Å interstratified clay minerals, which make allowance for fundamental illite particles, confirm many of the inferences made in a previous analysis by Corbató & Tettenhorst (1987). However, some of these profiles do not appear to match well with patterns obtained from real interstratified clay minerals. The lack of agreement is apparently a consequence of the assumption that the interlayer spacing formed at the contact of I and S (illite and smectite) silicate layers is exclusively 17 Å. The results suggest that this interlayer spacing may be either 10 Å or 17 Å.
