The structural features of the clays are well established. Kaolinite has a 1:1 layer structure, first suggested by Pauling [4], with the basic unit consisting of a tetrahedral sheet of SiO 4 and an octahedral sheet with Al +3 as the octahedral cation. Both the sheets combine to form a common layer such that the tips of the silica tetrahedra point towards the octahedral layer.

Kaolinite and montmorillonite were purified with NaCl solution according to our previous report [22].

Montmorillonite could be considered as conductor except one resistivity value. Under above circumstances, their behavior in triboelectrostatic separation could be deduced as follows: clean coal could hold its charges well during separation, kaolinite and quartz could also achieve good surface charging by controlling temperature and RH.
