Evaluation of Nigeria source of kaolin as a raw material for mullite synthesis
In the present study, a new source of kaolinitic clay (Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O) collected from Abule Onikosin Road in Abeokuta area of Ogun State, Nigeria was first processed to remove the stony materials adhered to its surface and subsequently characterized with respect to its chemical analysis, TG-DTA, particle size spectrum and identification of mineralogical phases by XRD technique. The identified...
