Resumen

The study focused on the influence of geological genesis and degree of crystallinity on the quantification of mineral phases and amorphous content in Cuban clays. Two clay deposits with different geological genesis were taken and the samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction and techniques for analyzing the clay fraction. Dominant paragenesis were established for each deposit, dominated by kaolinite, and useful relationships were found between structural and particle size differences with geological genesis, which can affect proper quantification. It was determined that the level of weathering conditions the degree of crystallinity, which in turn has a strong relationship with factors that affect proper quantification. Finally, the fundamental elements for formulating a comprehensive methodology for the proper characterization and quantification of clay phases were established.
