Abstract
The disruption of the aluminosilicate crystal lattice by aqueous fluoride solutions has been studied. The effect of reaction time, fluoride concentration, pH, and temperature on the reaction have been investigated. The stoichiometric exchange of hydroxyls by fluoride ions in kaolinite and muscovite at pH 7 and below was extremely doubtful. Disruption of the aluminosilicate crystal lattice was thought to be the predominant reaction over the acid pH range.
