A Tem Study of the Metakaolin-to-Mullite Transformation in Kaolinite
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
Two different kaolinites were heated in the range 850–1000°C and subsequently analyzed using TEM to study the metakaolinite-to-mullite reaction sequence. Metakaolinite was found to exist as amorphous relics of the original kaolinites. Small particles of a spinel composition appeared and grew to a maximum size of ∼50Å at temperatures below the 980°C exothermic reaction. Mullite was detected at and above 980°C which accounts for the 980°C exothermic reaction of these kaolinites.
