clays are generally used—kaolin and ball clays. Kaolin is one of the most useful industrial minerals with a wide range of applications; kaolinite (Al 2 Si 2O 5 (OH) 4) is the main mineral in both clay types and this is composed of alternate octahedral gibbsite and tetrahedral silica layers to give a plate-like structure (Chandrasekhar and ...Web

Red or Dark Earthenware Clays . Darker earthenware clay bodies can range from an orange-red to a dark brown, with red being the most common. Their color derives from the iron-bearing clays used their clay bodies. The iron already within the clay body acts as a fluxing (melting) agent, which matures the clay at relatively low temperatures.Web

The diagenesis of ball clays must be limited to avoid any mineral transformations that can deteriorate key properties, like plasticity. In fact, increasing burial brings about illitization of smectite-rich interstratified terms, modification of kaolinite (disordered → ordered → dickite → pyrophyllite), illite conversion into sericite and ...Web

Also, the development of powdering facilitated the sale of ball clays into non-ceramic applications such as rubber, fertilisers and animal feeds.
