The Defect Structure of Kaolinite

高岭石(粘土)的几个方面将被研究：1)高岭石中可能存在什么缺陷，2)不同地质成因的高岭石是否具有不同的缺陷结构，3)对于那些看起来是两个高岭石混合物的样品，这两种成分能否分离(如果可以，它们在结晶学和化学上有何不同)，4)在显示不同晶体形态的高岭石样品中，它们的形态是否与不同的缺陷结构有关，5)高岭石的缺陷结构是否与其化学成分有关；6)高岭石的缺陷结构是否与其对有机化合物的插层能力有关？粘土除了具有科学价值外，还是极其重要的工农业原料，其性质对工农业生产过程至关重要。

Several aspects of kaolinites (clays) will be investigated: 1) what possible defects are present in kaolinites, 2) do kaolinites from different geologic origins have different defect structures, 3) for those samples which appear to be mixtures of two kaolinites, can the two constituents be separated (if so, how do they differ crystallographically and chemically), 4) in kaolinite samples which show different crystal morphologies, are themorphologies related to different defect structures, 5) is there a relation between the defect structure of a kaolinite and its chemical composition, 6) is there a relation between the defect structure of a kaolinite and its ability to intercalate organic compounds? In addition to their scientific interest, clays are extremely important industrial and agricultural materials and their properties are critical to industrial and agricultural processes.
