Abstract
Fine particle of iron compound has been obtain by precipitation of ferric ions in a kaolin suspension. Theses particules located on the kaolinite platelets surface, were transformed into hematite near 300 $^{\circ}$C during a thermal treatment in air. This hematite located on platelets surface, influences the thermal evolution of kaolinite only after the formation of metakaolin: it did not affect dehydroxylation process, but the structural reorganisation peak were strongly modified.

A study of the densification behaviour of this material by ultrasonic echography had shown that the cristallisation and densification were favours by iron: they began at lower temperature.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
