AbstractThe amorphous mineral selectively dissolved from the clay (<2 μm) fractions of twenty-six ferruginous soils contains considerable iron in addition to silicon and aluminium. SiO2/Al2O3 and SiO2/R2O3 molar ratios are between 2·03-3·52 and 1·72-2·95 respectively. The model of the amorphous ferri-aluminosilicate (AFAS) consists mainly of negatively charged tetrahedrally coordinated silica-alumina phase Si3AlO6(OH)4 containing domains of neutral FeOOH, with an outer positively charged hydroxyaluminium polymeric component [Al(OH)2.5]n.The calculated hydroxyl water content of the AFAS averages 17·8%; cation exchange capacity varies from 48·6 to 112·0 mEq/100 g and shows a negative correlation with the outer hydroxyaluminium octahedral component and a positive correlation with the ratio of the tetrahedral Si-Al component to the octahedral hydroxyaluminium component. The K-fixation capacity (1·9-6·1 mEq/100 g) of the AFAS does not appear to be related to the chemical composition. The genesis of the amorphous mineral is discussed.
