    Brief description of Kaolin

    Kaolinite is a clay mineral with the chemical composition Al2Si2O5(OH)4. It is an important industrial mineral. Rocks rich in kaolinite are called kaolin. Kaolinite is, a common group of clay minerals that are hydrated aluminum silicates; they contain the main components of kaolin (china clay). The particle size distribution of kaolin clays has been determined to ascertain its industrial significance.  The mineral composition is evaluated by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), crystalline structure by X-Ray Diffraction  (XRD), and particle size distribution using the low angle laser light scattering (LALLS) technique.
