Porcelain represents the foundation of the ceramics discipline and one of the most complex
ceramic materials. Composed primarily of clay, feldspar, and quartz, porcelains are heat …

Recent studies of mullite formation in clays and clay-based vitreous ceramic systems are
reviewed. In such systems, mullite crystals grow in a viscous aluminosilicate liquid, as …

Abstract The Cenomanian fluvio-estuarine Bahariya Formation was investigated as an
example for estuarine complexes at Aghar oilfield. A facies-constrained 3D-static reservoir …

Kaolinite is among the most common clay minerals in the starting material for fired brick
production. The complex geological origin of kaolinite creates different defects in its structure …

The phase transformation from kaolinite to mullite was examined with new electron
diffraction data obtained using an energy‐filtering transmission electron microscope …

This study focuses on the mineralogical, chemical, thermal and physical characterization of
Afyon and Istanbul clays from Turkey and evaluation of the potential of the Afyon clay to …

Critical analyses of published reaction studies on kaolinite, and sol‐gel and powder
mixtures equivalent to 3Al2O3· 2SiO2 mullite, were made. Supplementary experiments on …

Thermal transformation of illite and smectite group clay minerals was studied using X‐ray
diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and the results were compared with those …

Since its commercial introduction three-quarters of a century ago, fluid catalytic cracking has
been one of the most important conversion processes in the petroleum industry. In this …

The use of calcined clays as a supplementary cementitious material has been a subject of
intensive research due to their high availability and their potential to be used as a low-CO 2 …
