streszczenie The interaction of NaCl and Pb(CH3COO)2 with kaolinite was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Multiple ordered stacks or ‘quasi-crystals’ (up to 1 mm in diameter and up to 2 mm in height) and their assemblies (up to 10 mm in size) have been detected under treatment of kaolinite with NaCl- solution. ‘Quasi-crystals’ are symmetrically ordered stacks in which equal in size kaolinite platelets are packed plane to plane. The one-dimensional orientational and translational order is assumed to be strong within the stacks, along the axis of the stacks, whereas the symmetry is breaking when leaving a given stack and passing from one stack to another in assemblies of ‘quasi-crystals’. The ‘quasi-crystals’ of NaCl-treated kaolinite are partially preser- ved after dialysis. Under treatment of kaolinite with Pb(CH3COO)2 flat ‘quasi-crystals’ are formed from original kaolinite particles packed edge to edge, from 1 to 3 mm in size and their textured aggregates up to 7 mm in size. ‘Quasi-crystals’ in textured aggregates are packed plane to plane with a shift. Neoformations of Pb(CH3COO)2-kaolinite are metastable to dialysis.
