It is also a common accessory to other minerals, including …
The major dehydroxylation peak associated with kaolinite is centred at 554 °C with a secondary peak at 629 °C. The content of metakaolin, assuming full dehydroxylation of kaolinite [31], [32], is estimated to be approximately 30.8% considering the total mass loss between 450-750 °C attributed to the dehydroxylation of kaolinite.
Kaolinite has a structure of 1:1 layers stacked above each other. Kaolinite consists of Si 4 + in the tetrahedral sites and Al 3 + in the octahedral sites (Fig. 1.2).The kaolinite layer is held by hydrogen bonding between the oxygen of the tetrahedral sheet and the hydroxyl of the octahedral sheet (Schulze, 2005).
