Kristóf, J., Tóth, M., Gábor M., Szabó, P., Frost, L. R.  (1997): Study of  the structure and thermal behavior of intercalated kaolinites  - Journal  of Thermal Analysis. 49. 1441-1448
Abstract:
Intercalation complexes of three different Hungarian kaolinites with hydrazine and potassium acetate were investigated by FT-IR (DRIFT) spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetry combined with mass spectrometry. Differences were found in the thermal behaviour of the complexes as well as in the rehydration - reexpansion patterns of the heated intercalates. An XRD method is proposed for the distinction of kaolinite and 7.2 Angstrom halloysite present in the same mineral.
