minerals for the future, being exploited for very wide varieties of industrial applications (agriculture, engineering, construction, geology, environment, and miscellaneous applications). The physical and chemical properties of kaolin determine its use as an industrial mineral. Deposits can be sedimentary, residual, or hydrothermal and

Kaolinite is a clay mineral, with a soft consistency and earthy texture. It is easily broken and can be molded or shaped, especially when wet. Kaolinite is a lackluster and uninteresting mineral on its own, but it occasionally forms interesting pseudomorphs, especially after feldspars.

On the other hand, Carboniferous sedimentary kaolin deposits in the Abu Natash area, as well as the Cretaceous kaolin deposits in all areas of Sinai, might have been derived from the nearby schist saprolites, based on the similarity in the mineralogy and geochemistry between the saprolites and the kaolin .

AbstractThe geochemical characteristics of selected kaolins from Cameroon and Nigeria are presented, with an attempt to elucidate on their possible industrial applications by comparing them to worldknown kaolin deposits. Major oxides concentrations were subjected to factor analyses in interpreting their relationships. Geochemical indices, including chemical index of alteration (CIA), chemical ...

The field observations and the morphological analysis indicate the existence of sedimentary features throughout the whole profile except for the upper aluminous clayey layer (Belterra Clay). This is evidence that the Rio Jari kaolin deposit originated from sedimentary material, the Alter do Chão Formation.

Geochemistry of Hydrothermal Alteration in Volcanic Rocks 43 whereas in the Equivocada mine, kaolinite is associated with dickite and traces of alunite (without pyrophyllite) (Marfil et al., 2005). The rhyolitic tuffs, which host most of the kaolinized bodies, were deposited on top of the

Overstreet (1964) described the bauxite and the associated kaolin deposits in the Coastal Plain as hosted within sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous, Eocene and Paleocene age. Bridge (1950) stated that the bauxite deposits in rocks of Paleocene and Eocene .

Abstract. Because of their geochemical properties, the Çakmaktepe (Uşak) kaolin deposits have been considered as primary. New sedimentological, mineralogical, and geochemical data suggest that the Çakmaktepe kaolins are secondary deposits of sedimentary processes after hydrothermal alteration of the source rocks.

Baioumy and Gilg (2011) and Baioumy et al. (2012) studied the mineralogy and geochemistry of sedimentary flint kaolin from Aswan area and Carboniferous and Cretaceous kaolin deposits in Sinai region, respectively. In these studies, the mineralogy and geochemistry of these deposits were used to discuss their source rock compositions.

in Virtasalmi kaolin deposits, SE Finland. Mineral composition of the deeply weathered samples is dominated by kaolinite, with minor amount of quartz, muscoviteillite and traces of resistant minerals (rutile, zircon and monazite). There is a gradual transition zone between kaolin and its parent rocks. The transition zone and the primary

Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the Sedimentary Kaolin Deposits From Sinai, Egypt: Implications for Control by the Source Rocks —Mineralogical and geochemical variations among the Carboniferous and Cretaceous sedimentary kaolin deposits from Sinai provided an opportunity to examine the effect of the source area on compositions of the deposits.

The mineralogy, grain size, and textural characteristics of clays are controlled by parent rock composition (primary kaolins) or by provenance and proximity to source areas (sedimentary kaolins). Keywords: clay mineralogy, kaolin, particle size distribution, Patagonia, specific .

The present study deals with the mineralogy and geochemistry of the clayey facies of the A´gua Limpa kaolin deposit, situated in the Moeda Syncline, Quadrila´tero Ferrı´fero, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Kaolinite, quartz, oxides and iron hydroxides (hematite and goethite) represent the mineral assembly of the five facies of the deposit.

A profile 60 m thick was selected in a kaolin mine (Morro do Felipe) located at the banks of the Jari river. Despite the great thickness of the deposit and the variety of kaolin types, the mineralogical composition is rather homogeneous and is mainly kaolinite associated with gibbsite and small amounts of quartz, anatase, goethite and hematite.

Kaolin refers to a clayey rock and also to a group of clay minerals consisting of kaolinite, dickite, nacrite and halloysite. Kaolinite is the most abundant kaolin mineral, whereas dickite, nacrite and halloysite are relatively rare, being commonly formed by hydrothermal alteration and occurring in sedimentary and residual deposits in association with kaolinite [].
