          Abstract

          Mineralogical transformations during firing of clays from the Laboyos Valley at the Upper Magdalena Basin (Colombia) were studied. Firing of clays was carried out in the temperature range 800-1200 °C under oxidizing conditions. The mineralogical transformations were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Important compositional differences in the neoformed phases were observed in the clays. Typical assemblages with quartz, illite, kaolinite, mica, halloysite, potassium feldspar and plagioclase were observed. Several mineral phases were identified in the fired clays, with the reaction products including mullite, residual quartz, hematite, amorphous phase (glass generated by melting of feldspars and clays) in the fired clays.

          Las transformaciones mineralógicas durante el quemado de las arcillas del Valle de Laboyos en la Cuenca del Alto Magdalena (Colombia) fueron estudiadas. La cocción de las arcillas se llevó a cabo en el rango de temperatura 800-1200 °C bajo condiciones oxidantes. Las transformaciones mineralógicas fueron investigadas por difracción de rayos X (DRX) y microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB). Importantes diferencias composicionales en las fases neoformadas se observaron en las arcillas. Paragénesis típicas con cuarzo, illita, caolinita, mica, feldespato potásico halloysita y plagioclasa fueron observadas. Varias fases minerales fueron identificadas en las arcillas quemadas, con productos de reacción incluyendo mullita, cuarzo residual, hematita, fase amorfa (vidrio generado por la fusion de feldespatos y arcillas) en las arcillas cocidas.
