The influence of exchangeable cations in the structure of kaolinite and mont­morillonite minerals on the phase transformation on progressive heat treatment, has been studied through DTA curves. Hydration energy of the cations influences the expulsion of water from the clay lattice. The high temperature phase conversions were also influenced catalytically by exchangeable cations.
