Introduction. Kaolin is one of the most widely used industrial minerals (Gougazeh and Sharadqah, 2009). It suitable for multiple uses such as pharmaceuticals (Murray and Keller, 1993), as a refractory, in the paper industry (Harvey and Lagaly, 2006), the construction and cosmetic industries amongst others (Heckroodt, 1991; Siddiqui et al., 2005; Matike et al., …

Clay plays two important roles in ceramic bodies: (i) Plasticity and (ii) Sintering temperature The properties of clay are dependent to a large extent on the nature and amount of various minerals present in the original materials, so the characterization of the clay is of a particular interest to the clay experts. Although there is a tremendous variety of raw materials used …

3.1 Characterization of Nb-Bearing Clay. Tables 1 and 2 show the main chemical compositions and trace element concentrations of the three kaolin clay samples. Al 2 O 3, SiO 2, TiO 2, and Fe 2 O 3 occurred as the major constituents of all the three samples. TiO 2 in the three samples was determined as 3.67, 8.79, and 11.20%, respectively, and Fe …

Belessa kaolin occurrence is situated in the Western margin of Central Main Ethiopian Rift (CMER) near Hosaina town which is about 230 km from Addis Ababa. Geology of the kaolin district is composed of Miocene to Quaternary age acidic igneous rocks consisting of pyroclastic tuff, ignimbrite and rhyolite.

Kaolin clay from Late Permian sequences has been considered a potential resource for niobium (Nb) due to high concentrations reported at several hundred micrograms per gram and large areal distribution. A previous case study identified titanium (Ti)-bearing minerals associated with kaolin clay as the main host phases for niobium.

Gibbsite content increased from 0% at the top of the bed (upper kaolin zone) to up to 67 wt% in the center of the bed ("bauxite zone"), followed by a gradual decrease to 0% at the bottom of the bed (lower kaolin zone, Table 2). Kaolinite was identified from the diffraction peaks at 7.1, 3.6, and 2.6 Å. Upper kaolin zone

Smectite-rich zones and illite-rich zones are relatively infrequent. In the halloysite-rich zones, the kaolinization of feldspars is accomplished in four stages. The kaolinizaton of feldspars in the kaolinite-dickite-rich zones follows five discrete stages. In the less altered rocks, thin layers of kaolinite are formed on the surface of feldspars.

Kaolin clay from Late Permian sequences has been considered a potential resource for niobium (Nb) due to high concentrations reported at several hundred micrograms per gram and large areal distribution. A previous case study identified titanium (Ti)-bearing minerals associated with kaolin clay as the main host phases for niobium. Correlation between …

Abstract. Kaolin-group minerals occur in nature as the result of high-sulfidation acid sulfate, sulfur-poor HCl-, HF- and H2CO3-rich acidic fluid-related hydrothermal alterations and in …

Niobium in kaolin clay from the Late Permian sequences was reported in the range of several hundreds of micrograms per gram and was considered as a potential resource for its high concentrations and large areal distribution. Ti-bearing minerals associated with kaolin clay were identified as the main host phase for niobium in some case studies.

Le kaolin est une argile blanche, friable et réfractaire, composée principalement de kaolinite, qui est un silicate d'aluminium. Découvert en Chine, le kaolin est à la base de la fabrication de la porcelaine, mais est également utilisé dans l'industrie du papier, la médecine et les cosmétiques.
