Illite is a group of clay minerals that are typically characterized by their small size and plate-like shapes. These minerals are a major component of sedimentary rocks and are known for their ability to retain water and nutrients, making them important for soils and agriculture. Illite is formed from the weathering of feldspar or other silicate minerals and is often found in shale and other fine-grained sedimentary deposits. It is non-swelling, which distinguishes it from other clay minerals like montmorillonite. Illite has various industrial applications, including in ceramics, drilling muds, and as a filler in different products. Its composition generally consists of aluminum silicate with varying amounts of iron, magnesium, and other elements. Illite plays a crucial role in geochemical processes and serves as an indicator of environmental conditions in geological studies.
