AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE MINERALOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SARIBEYLİ, KAOLIN DEPOSIT (ÇANAKKALE, NW TURKEY)

Abstract

Here, we focus on the mineralogical characterization of Sarıbeyli kaolin deposit by different instruments. Sarıbeyli kaolin deposit situated in Çanakkale, NW Turkey has been explored and used as raw materials in various industries for many years. This experimental work defines the clay and non-clay minerals of the deposit, by Methylene Blue Test (MB), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and Differential Thermal Analysis-Thermogravimetry (DTA-TG). MB test results reveal the presence of a clay mineral having low specific surface area and low cation exchange capacity. This is confirmed by XRD with basal eflections of kaolinite at 7.14 Å and 3.57 Å. The non-clay minerals of alunite and quartz were determined by their prominent peaks at 5.69 Å and 3.34 Å, respectively. SEM-EDS analysis reveals that the kaolinite is well-crystallized and authigenically formed showing stacks of platelets with abundant Al and Si. The thermal behaviours of the Sarıbeyli kaolin deposit was tested by DTA-TG. The first endothermic reaction at 537.24°C shows the dehydroxilation of kaolinite and the second one presents the α to β quartz transformation at 666.12°C. All the findings of this experimental work clearly suggest that the presence of kaolinite, quartz and alunite as  hydrothermal alteration products.
