Mineralogía aplicada a la industria: la caolinita

Abstract

Se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica de los minerales de la arcilla. El trabajo se basa en uno de los más importantes: la caolinita. Las caolinitas son silicatos de aluminio hidratados, Al2Si2O5(OH)4, con una estructura de capas 1:1, es decir una lámina tetraédrica y una octaédrica combinadas entre sí. Debido a sus numerosas e interesantes propiedades físicas y químicas que derivan de su estructura en capas, la caolinita es utilizada en diversas aplicaciones industriales. Las aplicaciones más importantes son la industria del papel, plásticos, cosméticos y farmacéutica, entre otros sectores. En cuanto al caolín, como la caolinita es su mineral principal, también tiene muchos usos. En la industria cerámica, los caolines se utilizan para la fabricación de porcelana, azulejos y otros productos cerámicos. Otras aplicaciones importantes son la industria de la pintura, catalizadores y tinta, entre otros sectores.

A bibliographic review of clay minerals has been carried out. The work is based on one of the most important: kaolinite. Kaolinites are hydrated aluminum silicates, Al2Si2O5(OH)4, with a 1:1 layered structure, that is a tetrahedral and an octahedral sheet combined together. Due to its many interesting physical and chemical properties derived from its layered structure, kaolinite is used in various industrial applications. The most important applications are in the paper, plastics, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, among others. As for kaolin, since kaolinite is its main mineral, it also has many uses. In the ceramics industry, kaolin is used for the manufacture of porcelain, tiles and other ceramic products. Other important applications are in the paint, catalyst and ink industries, among other sectors.
