Abstract

When phlogopites containing only a little iron are artificially altered with sodium tetraphenylboron solutions, the vermiculite-like products contain fewer interlayer cations than the original micas. Structural formulae of the products are calculated from the chemical analyses, together with infrared examination of the angular vibration band of water at 1650 cm−1 to distinguish between water of hydration and hydroxyl groups. The formulae obtained are consistent with the weight-loss curves and show that the products contain, more than 4(OH,F) per formula unit. The interpretation of these formulae is that the silicate layers lose net negative charge by protonation of structural oxygen anions to form new hydroxyl groups.
