Abstract

A chlorite-smectite interstratified mineral in a pottery stone from Niwatorizawa mine, Izushi-Cho, Hyogo Prefecture (Japan), has been studied by means of Fourier transform methods, together with interlamellar sorption of ethylene glycol and glycerol. The calculations were carried out with the INTER program (using an Olivetti M-24 personal computer with MS-DOS operating system) which allows the analysis of two-component interstratified structures by two Fourier transform based methods: the X-ray diffraction intensity function method, and the interlayer distances distribution function method. The material studied contains a 1:1 chlorite-smectite interstratification and shows a marked tendency to alternation, i.e., the interstratification is almost regular.
