Illite, vermiculite, smectite, chlorite, and interstratified clay minerals are found in podzolic soils. Sepiolite and palygorskite have been reported in some aridisols (desert soils), and kaolinite is the dominant component in oxisols (lateritic soils). Clay minerals other than those mentioned.

Illite is a type of clay mineral that belongs to the group of non-expanding or non-swelling phyllosilicate minerals. It is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks, such as shale, and can also be found in soils and weathered rocks. Illite is composed of tiny flat particles or plates that are less than 2 microns in size, which give it a characteristic …

Fine-grained illite, chlorite, and vermiculite can be formed via mild weathering of primary aluminosilicate minerals, whereas kaolinite and residual metal oxides/hydroxides are typically produced by intense weathering . Intermediate weathering conditions lead to formation of smectite (montmorillonite ). ...
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]

The objective of the present study was to apply the differential dissolution analysis (D.D.A.) method of Hashimoto and Jackson (1960) to soil clays having strong 7 and 14 A diffraction peaks and to check the results against the other available criteria for vermiculite, kaolinite, and chlorite in the presence of illite and small amounts of other ...
Commonly described mixed-layer clays include: illite-vermiculite, illite-smectite, chlorite-vermiculite (corrensite), chlorite-smectite, and kaolinite-smectite. Mixed-layer clays can form by weathering involving the removal or uptake of cations (e.g. K), hydrothermal …
The interlayer is one of the critical factors in determining the CEC value of clay minerals, especially for montmorillonite and vermiculite, i.e., expandable phyllosilicates. The interlayer distances are in the ranges of 15–25 Å for montmorillonite, 10–14 Å for vermiculite, and ~ 10 Å for illite, respectively.
The diffraction pattern of the shaly mudrocks from the rocks outside the central deformation zone also show, in addition to illite and illite-smectite, mixtures of chlorite and chlorite-smectite, with the latter containing small quantities of expandable phases (smectite or vermiculite) and air-dried peaks ranging between 1.41 and 1.46 nm.

Mica (Illite)–Vermiculite (I–V) I–V is a product of potassium removal during weathering of micas and illite. It occurs as thick crystals, with tri-dimensional order, frequently with almost regular interstratification. ... Distinct from diagenetic corrensite, this mineral is characterized as chlorite-vermiculite, that is, high-charge ...
In contrast, incorporation of ordered interlayer cations (in beidellite, vermiculite, and illite) imply the existence of up to 3 PBCs and, hence, the development of euhedral crystallites. ... Clearly, the behaviors of illite, chlorite, and muscovite in the hydrothermal experiments seem to be borne out by the SSGF paragenesis and this …
Most soils at convergent sites with poor drainage contain more smectitic clays (interstratified illite/smectite and chlorite/smectite) and less vermiculitic clays (hydroxyl-interlayered ...

observations have led soil scientists to consider that illite is a transient phase in most soils. Nevertheless, illite is sufficiently abundant in some cases to warrant a place in soil classification and terminology (Harris and Zelazny 1985). All together this indicates that illite can be considered to be a soil clay mineral. 2.1.2
Commonly described mixed-layer clays include: illite-vermiculite, illite-smectite, chlorite-vermiculite (corrensite), chlorite-smectite, and kaolinite-smectite. Mixed-layer clays can form by weathering involving the removal or uptake of cations (e.g. K), hydrothermal alteration, or removal of hydroxide interlayers, and, in some cases, may ...
For interstratified structures of three component layers, structures consisting of illite/chlorite/smectite and illite/vermiculite/smectite have been reported. Because certain interstratified structures are known to be stable under relatively limited conditions, their occurrence may be used as a geothermometer or other geoindicator.

According to the interpretation rates of clay mineral species to surface properties, the order was illite, chlorite, vermiculite, and kaolinite. Additionally, illite, chlorite, and vermiculite belonged to the 2:1 type clay minerals; this means that content changes of 2:1 type clay minerals had considerable influence on the soil surface properties.
