Optical, electrical, structural, and morphological properties of KAl4Si2O12/Mg3Si2O9/Fe2O3 clay mineral from Machado mountain region, Tarairá, Colombia
Abstract:Physical properties of clay minerals are essential in the evaluation for applications and new potential uses of geological materials. This study presents results of optical, electrical, structural, compositional and morphological analysis of Hillite (0.967) / Chlorite (0.013) / Hematite (0.02) clay mineral extracted from the Machado mountain region in the municipality of Tarairá, department of Vaupés, Colombia. The extracted clay was subjected to treatments to separate it from the others geological compounds b… Show more
