A type of clay mineral. Its chemical composition is very similar to muscovite, but it lacks alkaline ions between layers. It is thought that this deficiency is compensated for by hydronium ions. The name illite is used as a general term for fine white mica, and since it contains a variety of chemical compositions, it is now treated as a series name. It is widely distributed mainly in altered rocks of shale, acidic volcanic rock, and pyroclastic rock (pyroclastic rock) origin, and in muddy sedimentary rock. It is not as sticky as other clay minerals, and rubbing a slightly wet sample makes it slippery to the finger. It was named after the shale it was isolated from in the Illinois region of the United States.

粘土鉱物の一種。白雲母(うんも)と化学組成上よく似ているが、層間のアルカリイオンが不足している。このため、その不足をヒドロニウムイオンで補っていると考えられている。イライトという名称は微細な白色雲母の総称として使われ、化学組成上いろいろなものを含んでいるので、現在は系列名として取り扱われている。主として頁岩(けつがん)、酸性火山岩、火砕岩(火山砕屑(さいせつ)岩)起源の変質岩中、泥質堆積(たいせき)岩中に広く分布する。ほかの粘土鉱物ほど粘着力はなく、少しぬらした試料をこすると指がすべすべしてくる。アメリカのイリノイ地方の頁岩中から分離されたので、この名がついた。 [松原 聰] [参照項目] | | | | | | | [補完資料] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
