| Abstract |
| Two samples of China clay received from Darugirl area of East
Garo Hills, !ieghalaya were studied to identify their mineralogical
characteristics. The studies conducted on the crude as well as
washed fractions of both the clays included physical, chemical,
thermochemical, petrographical, bee, PCE and XRD analysis.
Resulti indicated that clay No. 1 in iti crude form contained a
good amount of free quartz whereas clay No.2 as such was purer
in form so far as free quartz was concerned. Both the clays were
predominantly kaolinitic in nature. |
