What is Global Illite Powder Market?
The Global Illite Powder Market is a vast and complex entity that encompasses a wide range of products and services. Illite Powder, a type of clay mineral, has found its application in various industries due to its unique properties. It is a non-expanding, clay-sized, micaceous mineral. Illite is a secondary mineral precipitate, and an example of a phyllosilicate, or layered alumino-silicate. Its structure is a sandwich of silica tetrahedron (T) – alumina octahedron (O) – silica tetrahedron (T) layers. The space between this T-O-T sequence of layers is occupied by poorly hydrated potassium cations which are responsible for the absence of swelling. Structurally, illite is quite similar to muscovite with slightly more silicon, magnesium, iron, and water and slightly less tetrahedral aluminium and interlayer potassium. The chemical formula is given as (K,H3O)(Al,Mg,Fe)2(Si,Al)4O10[(OH)2,(H2O)]. The two most common members of the Illite group are hydromuscovite and glauconite.
