Conclusions
Orthophosphoric acid reacts with kaolinite clay already at room temperature. The reaction results in the dissociation of some kaolinite and the formation of acid aluminophosphates, its rate is at maximum during the first 4–10 days of the storage of the composition of clay with the acid, and it ceases when the composition is stored for longer periods.
The triderivative of aluminophosphate begins to form only on heating above 100°C. At a temperature of 400°C and higher it forms more rapidly while the proportion of mono- and diderivatives of aluminophosphates diminishes.
The fact that in compositions of kaolinite clay with orthophosphoric acid in storage only water-soluble acid aluminophosphates are formed and triderivative of aluminophosphate is absent makes it possible to produce clay-containing aluminosilicate compositions containing orthophosphoric acid at refractory plants in ready-for-use form.
