Extract

It has been shown that clay minerals transform into (Mg, Al) or (Ni,Al) serpentine-like phases if treated hydrothermally in the presence of MgCO3 or NiCO3 (Shitov et al., 1974, Frank-Kamenetskii et al., 1978, 1983a,b; Kotel'nikova et al., 1976; Varela et al., 1983; Kotov et al., 1985; Ryumin et al., 1978) and that the polytypism of the initial kaolins is inherited by the products. It has also been shown that (Mg,Al) serpentine-like phases react with KC1 to form dioctahedral micas and Mg-rich serpentine phases, but the latter do not react to trioctahedral micas (Kotel'nikova et al., 1976). Consequently, it was desirable to look for mechanisms for obtaining trioctahedral micas from serpentine-like phases.
