1. Kaolinite. Kaolinite is the most common type of clay. It can be easily found worldwide, extracted from rocks that are rich in kaolinite, later identified as kaolin clay.It mostly comes in white color as a result of the chemical weathering to the aluminum silicate (such as feldspar), creating a soft earthy mineral.. Kaolinite has triclinic symmetry and is electrostatically neutral.

The term Kaolinite describes the name of a group of closely-related clay minerals, as well as an individual member mineral of the group. The members of the Kaolinite group all have the same (or similar) chemical formula, and they are Dickite, Kaolinite, Nacrite, Halloysite, and Odinite.

Kaolinite has low isomorphous substitu tions, and the water generally exists as hydroxyl groups. It consists of sheets of Si0 2 tetrahedras bonded to sheets of Al°octahedras in such a 2 g manner that they are stacked one above another in the c-axis. The theoretical composition of kaolinite in terms ofoxides are as follows: SiO, 2

The Answer is: Kaolinite! It's a naturally white clay found all over the world- usually in hot humid climates like the tropics. It's this sweltering climate that actually creates Kaolinite minerals, turning the hard mineral orthoclase feldspar into the soft clay, kaolinite.

Whereas, kaolin samples with less kaolinite shows Fe2O3 content a bit higher than the maximum allowed limit of 1 % Fe2O3 (Highley, 1984). Moreover, samples with low kaolinite mineral also show low alumina and high Fe2O3 due to entrance of Fe in to kaolinite structure and replacement of Al in the octahedral layer (Murray and keller, 1993).

The effective surface of kaolinite is thus restricted to its outer faces or to its external surface area. Also, there is little isomorphous substitution in this 1:1 type mineral. Along with the relatively low surface area of kaolinite, this accounts for its low capacity to adsorb cations. Kaolinite crystals usually are hexagonal in shape.
