Abstract

Previous studies by Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) have established the substitution of Fe3+ and Mg2+ in the kaolinite structure. It is shown that Fe2+ can substitute in kaolinite and stabilize defects which are detectable by ESR in a manner identical to Mg2+. The development of methods of preparing a synthetic kaolinite doped with Fe2+ is described in detail. It is shown that the main ESR signals, which occur at g = 2.0 in natural kaolinites and which previously have been interpreted in terms of iron and magnesium, can be attributed to iron alone.
