Hi what minerals (else Kaolinite) are disturbed when heated up to 500 degree ?
Let out on the clutch while easing into the gas Then remember to shift before then engin blows. Once your good you can shave the synchros and forget the clutch after launch.
Drive at the top of your gear to save gas. Rpm's high and shift only when necessary and down shift. This keeps the fuel flow at a minimum.
when you're slowing down to brake completely put the car in neutral instead of pressing down on the clutch so much
You have two different questions here, many minerals are disturbed when they are heated. As for being able to identify types of clays with x-rays, it's very common. We use x-ray diffraction, which requires a small sample of the clay in question being placed in the x-ray diffractometer and runs can take anywhere from 15 mins. to over 2 hours depending on how thorough you want to be. Then a computer compares the signatures given off by the clay to known standards in its database. You can then look at the signature for your clay compared to the standards and determine what you have.
Check the site below. Chlorite will survive, and vermiculite will not (unless it is an Iron chlorite) Smecite will collapse to an illite structure. See site for more info.
