“…As expected, the thermal influence caused dehydration of water-containing silicates (Figure 4). The derivatogramm pattern recorded a set of endothermal effects, which are generally associated with releasing both chemically bound (hygroscopic) and structural water (Zaridze, 1980;Eitel, 1962). Thus, being heated up, muscovite loses water within the ranges of 513-593, 873-883, 1033-1073K and at 1173K, depending on the scale size; amphiboles -at ≥1073К; clay minerals -within the range of 373-1273К.…”
