Main Clay Minerals and their Microscopic Morphological Characteristics in Zhangcun Illite Ores

Article Preview

Abstract:

The microscopic morphological characteristics of main clay minerals in Zhangcun illite ores were studied by using high-resolution scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and image analysis technology. The results show that: (1) the illite generally appear as crooked scaly and foliated partly; (2) illite/smectite (I/S) mixed layered mineral are banding flake with filamentous edge mostly and cusp type flake partly; (3) pyrophyllite appear to be flake and tabular sheet forming hollow pipe; (4) serpentinite are obviously fine flake with wavy shape .
