Abstract

Caesium aluminium silicates, caesium aluminium fluoride and aluminium fluoride were identified in a mixture obtained through the evaporation of kaolinite aqueous supension with CsF. The mixture was studied by X-ray powder diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Two types of intercalation complexes of kaolinite were identified (A and B). Complex A seems to be an hydrated CsF intercalation complex, whereas complex B is a water intercalation complex, probably containing H3O+ and F-. -from Authors
