Elaboration and Characterization of Local Kaolin-based Materials

Kaolin is one of the most widely used mineral raw materials in ceramic compositions. The study described in this work concerns local kaolins used in the ceramics industry i.e. kaolins from Djebel Debbagh and Tamazert. The elaboration and characterization of materials prepared from the two types of kaolins DD3P type 22% alumina DD3R type 36% alumina and derivatives of another local kaolin KT2 were carried out by different analytical methods particularly : DRX ATG and SEM; we therefore deduce the ...See More
