Dehydration behavior of hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite (HIV) from three coastal plain soils was studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal analysis. Relative humidity (RH) at 25 degrees C had little effect on HIV 001 XRD peaks, except for a 0.01 to 0.05 degrees 2-theta shift at RH approxima...
