Illite - Wikipedia
Illite, also called hydromica or hydromuscovite, [ 6 ] is a group of closely related non-expanding clay minerals. Illite is a secondary mineral precipitate, and an example of a phyllosilicate, or layered alumino-silicate. Its structure is a 2:1 sandwich of silica tetrahedron (T) – alumina octahedron (O) – silica tetrahedron (T) layers. [ 5 ]
Illite | Properties, Formation, Uses » Geology Science
May 1, 2023 · Hydrology: The presence and movement of water can greatly affect the formation of illite. Water can act as a solvent and transport medium for dissolved minerals, and can also influence the chemical reactions and exchange processes that lead to the formation of illite.
Illite | Formula, Properties & Application
Illite is formed through the weathering of muscovite and feldspar, two minerals common in igneous and metamorphic rocks. This weathering can occur physically, such as by the action of water and wind, or chemically, such as through the action of carbon dioxide or organic acids.

USGS OFR01-041: Illite Group Minerals - USGS Publications …
Illite is essentially a group name for non-expanding, clay-sized, dioctahedral, micaceous minerals. It is structurally similar to muscovite in that its basic unit is a layer composed of two inward-pointing silica tetragonal sheets with a central octahedral sheet.
Basics of Clay Minerals and Their Characteristic Properties
Jun 24, 2021 · Abstract. Clay minerals such as kaolinite, smectite, chlorite, micas are main components of raw materials of clay and formed in presence of water. A large number of clays used to form the different structure which completely depends on their mining source.
Lithium and boron isotopes in illite-smectite: The importance of ...
Dec 15, 2005 · Introduction. In clay-rich sediments, lithium and boron are hosted predominantly by smectite and illite or chlorite clay minerals (Williams et al 2001a, Chan and Kastner 2000, Chan et al 1994). This research examines the isotopic changes as smectite reacts to illite, a common diagenetic reaction.
