Preparations and Applications of Fluorine-Containing Layer Complex

Abstract

Some synthetic fluorine-micas, such as Na-taeniolite NaMg₂Li (Si₄O₁₀) F₂ and Litaeniolite LiMg₂Li (Si₄O₁₀) F₂, and their analogous fluorine-containing layer minerals exhibit swelling properties. Intercalations of organic and inorganic compounds into the interlayer space take place in these expandable layer minerals. In the present paper, the typical examples of complex fopmations of these fluorine-containing layer minerals are demonstrated and their applications are briefly reviewed.
