| Abstract | We have investigated experimentally the effects of temperature and time on the extent of interstratificationof illite-smectite and the crystallinity of illite using natural solutions and clay minerals fiom the Waiotapu geothermal field, New Zealand. Reactions were conducted in sealed stainless steel vessels kept in an oven at far days. These reactions increased the illite but the expandability of |
