Abstract
This chapter gives a general introduction into the different types of spectroscopic methods used to study the kaolin minerals and their modifications. The first group of techniques involve vibrational spectroscopic methods such as Mid- and Near-infrared spectroscopy (MIR and NIR) and Raman spectroscopy . A special technique is Infrared emission spectroscopy that allows the observation of phase changes with increasing temperature in situ using the emission of the sample itself as the IR source. This is followed by solid-state Magic-Angle-Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MAS-NMR), Mössbauer spectroscopy and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy (EPR, also known as Electron Spin Resonance spectroscopy ESR). These three methods use magnetic properties to obtain detailed information regarding the local environment of specific atoms.
