Clay minerals may be classified into eight main groups on the basis of variations in structure and composition: (1) kaolinite, (2) smectite, (3) vermiculite, (4) illite, (5) pyrophyllite, (6) chlorite, (7) palygorskite, and (8) allophane (Table 1). Some clay minerals are intermediate between the clay mineral groups, formed by mixtures of the ...
