Gamma-Irradiations Effects on Structural and Micro-Structural Parameters of Chromium(III) – Silicate Base Mica Clay

ABSTRACT
Solution route was applied to synthesize new family of free-fluoride synthetic clay. All starting
solutions were made by applying carbon tetra-chloride (CCl4) as a solvent. The selected sample of
synthetic free fluoride – Na-4-mica was having the general formula (Na4Mg6M4Si4O22·nH2O) where M
= Cr3+ was exposured to two different ɤ-irradiation doses 1st dose = 1.5 MR/h and 2nd dose = 3 MR/h at
25 cm distance. Structural parameters such as lattice constants, volume and phase quality were
monitoring carefully by using both of XRD and SEM evaluating grain size of the mica bulk. Structural
investigations proved that Cr-clay exhibits monoclinic phase accompanied with structure quality in
comparison with both of Bi-and Al-clays
