| Abstract |
| Physico-chemical and mineralogical studies (X-ray, DTA, IR
spectroscopy) were carried out to find utilization of a black clay
from Rajpardi in Gujarat in ceramic industries. It was noticed
that the Rajpardi clay contains predominantly kaolinite having
characteristics like Bikaner ball clay. Attempts were also made
to use the clay as a substitute of Bikaner ball clay in the manufacture
of ceramic products to make it cost effective, particularly
for the ceramic industries in and around Gujarat. The
results show that Rajpardi clay can be suitably used along with
Bikaner ball clay in the manufacture of ceramic wares. |
