Mineralogy of Palygorskite from the Yeongsan Area in Kyeongnam, Korea
경남 창녕군 영산지역에서 산출하는 팔리고르스카이트의 광물학적 연구
Abstract
The white leather-like playgorskite occurs as a vein in the Cretaceous sedimentary rocks in the Yeongsan area, Kyeongnam, Korea. It has been investigate by means of XRD, TEM, DTA-TG, IR and chemical analysis. The palygorskite vein is composed mostly of well-crystallized palygorskite. The wall rock of the vein is altered to smectite along both sides of the vein. According to TEM observation the palygorskite shows a fibrous habit. The sizes offibers are quite variable, ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 micron in length. From XRD data, the palygorskite has orthorhombic unit cell with a=12.726
