Abstract

Statistical (Q-mode) analysis of the chemical compositions of 122 dioctahedral smectites obtained from the literature have enabled the main solid solution ranges (montmorillonite, beidellite and nontronite) to be distinguished on a triangular diagram. In the montmorillonite area, the Wyoming, Tatatilla, Otay, Chambers and Non-Ideal montmorillonite compositional ranges are identified. Certain crystallochemical features of the smectites may be correlated with different genetic environments.

Resume

Resume

Vingt smectites dioctaédriques italiennes sont classées d'un point de vue cristallochimique à l'aide de méthodes mathématiques statistiques (Q-mode). Les données correspondant à, 122 échantillons puisés dans la littérature ont été reportées sur un diagramme triangulaire permettant la distinction des principaux domaines de solutions solides (montmorillonite, beidellite, nontronite). Dans la zone de la montmorillonite on identifie la composition de celles du Wymoning, Tatatilla, Otay et Chambers ainsi qu'une non-idéale. Il est possible, en particulier de vérifier la classification correcte des smectites dioctaédriques sur la seule base des connaissances cristallochimiques. Ces données chimiques peuvent êre correllées avec différents environnements génétiques.

Statistische (Q-mode) Untersuchungen über die chemische Zusammensetzung von 122 dioktaedrischen Smectiten aus der Literatur haben es ermöglicht, die Haupt-Mischkristallbereiche (Montmorillonit, Beidellit und Nontronit) in einem Dreiecksdiagramm zu unterscheiden. In der Montmorillonit Ecke liegen Wyoming, Tatatilla, Otay, Chambers und nicht ideal zusammengesetzte Montmorillonite. Bestimmte kristallchemische Merkmale der Smectite könnten mit unterschiedlichen genetischen Bedingungen im Zusammenhang stehen.
