“…The high octahedral aluminum content makes kaolin resistant to acid leaching (28,29), but metakaolin (produced by heating kaolin in air at temperatures > 450 • C (29)) is much more susceptible to acid activation, producing a catalyst with the same activity as acid activated montmorillonite at about half the fresh surface area (29). Thus, acid-activated metakaolin (AAMK) is a material which offers both enhanced surface area and acidity compared with either kaolin or metakaolin (29)(30)(31). As with acid treated bentonites, the activity of AAMKs reaches a maximum and then declines as the severity of the activation process increases although Lussier has reported that AAMKs with high surface areas and activities can be prepared using very low acid concentrations if the metakaolin was produced in a narrow calcination window (29).…”

“…The total number of sites, the ratio of Lewis to Bronsted sites, and their relative strengths depend on the calcination temperature . Partially dealuminated MK may act as superacids . This was attributed to synergizing between Bronsted and Lewis acidity, associated with 4‐and‐5 coordinated Al, respectively.…”

“…3, but the heterogeneous mix of elements within the brick sample, combined with the range of angles between the elements in the presumably distorted tetrahedra and octahedra, precludes unequivocal identification of the vibrational bands associated with individual OH groups which contribute intensity to the spectral envelope. 28,29 The incoming water molecules will also hydrogen bond with any available structural hydroxyls at the surface and then with each other, leading to the generic OH stretching assignments at 3620, 3450, and 3260 cm À1 described above. For example, a peak at this position in an unfired clay is associated with a structural hydroxyl that resides in the octahedral sheet.…”

“…The pentavalent aluminum sites, identified using 27 Al MAS-NMR, arising in milled kaolin represent a pertinent example. 28,29 The incoming water molecules will also hydrogen bond with any available structural hydroxyls at the surface and then with each other, leading to the generic OH stretching assignments at 3620, 3450, and 3260 cm À1 described above. These band positions are not associated with a single, clearly defined hydrogen bond with a discrete energy, but represent the center of gravity of a broad range of hydrogen bonds that differ in strength (over a extended range) and O-O bond distances in this H-bonded water network.…”
