DetailsThe main difference between ball clay and kaolin clay is their mineral composition. Ball clay contains more minerals, such as kaolinite and illite, making it more plastic and workable when moist. It also contains small amounts of quartz and organic matter. On the other hand, Kaolin clay has a higher concentration of kaolinite, a pure …
DetailsMining clay processing equipment is used in a variety of applications. One of the most common uses of mining clay is in the production of ceramics. Ceramics are made by shaping clay into various forms and then firing it in a kiln. The firing process causes the clay to harden and become durable, making it ideal for use in a variety of applications.
DetailsWHAT IS KAOLIN? Kaolin or china clay is a commercial clay composed principally of the hydrated aluminosilicate clay mineral kaolinite. The commercial value of kaolin is based on the mineral's whiteness and its fine, controllable particle size. Particle size affects fluidity, strength, plasticity, colour, abrasiveness and ease of dispersion.
