Hydrothermal transformation of kaolinite in the system k₂osio₂al₂o₃h₂o

A kaoliniterich raw material was treated hydrothermally with 1.33 and 3.99M KOH solutions at 100 and 175 °C during different reaction times ranging from 24 to 528 h. The synthesis products were characterized by Xray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,...
