Extract

Ferric oxides or hydroxides are common minor components of kaolinites. If free, these minerals can be removed by Fe reduction and leaching (Mehra & Jackson, 1960), but Fe3+ ions can substitute for Al3+ ions in the octahedral sites of kaolinite (Weaver et al., 1967; Malden & Meads, 1967). Moreover, Fe2+ ions can also substitute trioctahedrally in place of dioctahedral Al, leading to a local composition of Fe-antigorite (Cuttler, 1980).

The Font-Bouillant quarry (Charentes, France) is the source of disordered kaolinite known as ‘FU7, U-7-10 or FBT’ (Cases et al., 1982, 1986). The samples used in this study were considered in an earlier genetic analysis of the deposit (Delineau, 1994; Delineau et al., 1994) and were analysed previously by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and UV-visible spectroscopy by Delineau et al. (1994) (Table 1).
