Industrial clays: kaolin (china clay), ball clay and bentonite

1995
Kaolin (or china clay), ball clay and bentonite are the dominant ‘industrial clays’, and are mined for a wide variety of uses (Table 3.1), which exploit the special properties of each of the three clay types: Kaolin (china clay) — is chemically inert and can be prepared as a white powder specified (in part) according to its whiteness and ...

Decarbonization of the Heavy Clay Industry

Interceram - International Ceramic Review, 2020
Abstract: Given the scale of carbon emissions in heavy clay manufacturing, the decarbonization of a ceramic production process cannot be limited to a fuel switch towards low- or non-carbon sources of process energy, but must include the removal of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by eventual decarbonization of raw materials.

Assessment of Industrial Clays

2013
Abstract Industrial clays are very important raw materials which find numerous industrial and technological applications, including the production of materials with large added value such as nanocomposites, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals. The versatile nature of clays is attributed to the presence of clay minerals, which impart significant physical ...

A clay-clay vintage model approach for sectors of industry in Netherlands

De Economist, 1980
To confirm on a more disaggregated level earlier macro-economic studies in the field, an attempt is made in this paper to find out whether a vintage model of the clay-clay type also provides a framework for a plausible explanation of long-run sectoral developments of production capacity, labour requirements and employment.

Clay Minerals in the Ceramic Industries

Clays and clay minerals (National Conference on Clays and Clay Minerals), 1961
AbstractThe physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics of clays used in the ceramics industries are briefly outlined. Clays used include ball clays, fireclays, high-alumina clays of the diaspore and burley types, and three-layer types. The high temperature phases and bonding characteristics are briefly reviewed as are the uses of these ...

Technical Basis of Bleaching-Clay Industry

AAPG Bulletin, 1935
The bleaching clays of commercial interest are the active clays of the Southeast and the activable bentonites of the Southwest and Southeast. No first-class clays of either type have yet been found in the Mid-Continent region. All the best active clays are substantially equal in bleaching power. The same is true of the activable clays.

Environmental Impacts of Clay-related Industries

2013
Clays, which are often associated with mineral deposits, can be the source of significant problems in mineral processing operations. Their presence as impurities in low grade ores can lead to issues such as high pumping energy, high water consumption and large volume of tailings.
