In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigation of kaolinite dissolution in highly caustic environments

Clays are a common component of bauxite, and reactive silica, in the form of clays, is an important precursor of desilication products. Despite this, the behaviour of clays in highly caustic environments is not well investigated and this is due to the nature of the corrosive environment as well as t...
