Thermal behaviour and superheating temperature of Kaolinite from molecular dynamics
Abstract The aim of the present work is the investigation of the thermodynamics properties of kaolinite by means of molecular dynamics calculations based on the CLAYFF force field. The obtained results give various thermodynamical quantities, not yet estimated for kaolinite, such as the linear thermal expansion coefficient in the three directions, heat capacities Cp and Cv in the temperature range between 100 and 2088K and enthalpy. We focussed our efforts, in particular, on the calculation of the superheating point, which is estimated at 1572K. This value was deduced from the variation of the lattice parameters, volume and enthalpy with temperature. In addition, the solid–liquid transformation was also seen from the flattening of the atomic density profiles and radial distribution functions, where the order is lost in the bulk structure.
Highlights ► In this work we investigate the thermodynamics properties of kaolinite by means of molecular dynamics. ► Various thermodynamical quantities, were obtained. ► The superheating point was estimated at 1572K.
