Kaolin from a Serbian deposit, characterized by high content of impurities, such as mica and
quartz, disordered kaolinite and high specific surface area, was subjected to thermal and …

Batches containing 5 kg of Serbian medium-quality kaolin clay were mechanically treated in
a conventional ball mill for 10, 30, 60, 120, 600 and 1200 min of milling time. High reactive …

The structural order of kaolinite is an important factor that shows a substantial effect on the
processes which take place during the thermal treatment of kaolin. The influence of …

The use of calcined clays in the construction industry is thriving. However, muscovitic or illitic
clays, which constitute a large portion of the available clay resources, are hardly activated by …

In the production of alumina by the Bayer process, the calcination step generates a waste
containing~ 90% aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3). Due to the high content of this oxide, this waste …

Bentonite and kaolin were treated by high pressure (to 2200 MPa). Using the XRD
parameters (full width at half maximum, integrated intensity, interplanar distance, diffraction …

The effect of the configuration and composition of the octahedral sheet on the
mechanochemical stability of different smectites, both trioctahedral (natural and synthetic …

Clay minerals and sheet silicates are the main constituents of lutites and clays. These
materials are relevant in earth science research as well as in economic geology because of …

The high-temperature structural behaviour of kaolin deformed by compaction and shear in a
ball mill was investigated by extending the temperature range to 1500° C. The deformation …

Mechanochemical treatment of Serbian kaolin clay was carried out in a planetary ball mill
using two different milling media, hardened steel or zirconia vials and balls. The samples …
