About this document
Kaolinite Clay Characterization in Assam by Arun Ebenezer is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document characterizes a kaolinite clay from Assam, India. It finds the clay contains quartz and siderite impurities. Wet sieving removes most quartz and iron impurities. Magnetic separation and leaching with organic acids like oxalic acid can further reduce iron content. Leaching with 0.4 M oxalic acid at room temperature removes nonstructural iron, producing a clay suitable for ceramics and paper filler.
