The secondary clay mineral formed, i.e. kaolinite [Al 2 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4], is a combination of a layer of aluminium with a layer of silica (1:1 clay mineral). A stronger hydrolysis leads to a complete leaching of the silica and allows the formation of silica-free secondary phases such as gibbsite [Al(OH)₃], boehmite [AlO(OH)] or diaspore ...
Clay minerals contain bentonite, kaolin, fuller's earth, etc. Six types of clays are mined in the United States: ball clay, bentonite, common clay, fire clay, fuller's earth, and kaolin.
