Abstract
The reaction occurring during the grinding of kaolinite with CsCl was studied by DTA and by thermal weight losses. The thermographs were compared to those of kaolinite ground with KCl and of pure kaolinite. DTA curves show that the three endothermic peaks characteristic for the CsCl salt disappear when the kaolinite:CsCl weight ratio reaches 1:1. Thermal weight loss studies show different behavior for the kaolinite ground with KCl and for the ground with CsCl. Also, differences were observed between kaolinite ground in the presence of small amounts of Cs (kaolinite:CsCl weight ratio greater than equivalent to 1) or large amounts ( less than 1). A thermal stability of the kaolinite is observed when the kaolinite:CsCl weight ratio fits the complex formation.
