Abstract
The thermal decomposition of coal-bearing strata kaolinite-potassium acetate(CK/KAc) intercalation complex has been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetric (TG-DTG) and infrared emission spectroscopy (IES). The XRD results show that the KAc has been successfully intercalated into coal-bearing strata kaolinite with an obvious basal distance increase of the first basal peak. The TG results show that the thermal decomposition of the intercalation complex occurs in four main steps (a) the loss of adsorbed water (b) the loss of coordination water (c) the loss of potassium acetate and (d) water through dehydroxylation. The IES of CK/KAc give the evidence on the changes of structure. These make all explanation have the sufficient evidence.
