Study of the Application of Non-Plastic Clays from Poços De Caldas - MG

Abstract:

The manufacture of ceramic products involves the knowledge of the whole process, starting with the raw materials that are traditionally treated as clays. The term clay according to Santos [1] means a material with earthy texture and low grain size, which develops plasticity when mixed with a limited amount of water. The clay (or mudstone from the geological point of view) is a finely divided rock, consisting mainly of clay minerals, plastic materials and minerals that may contain non-plastic, and some materials which are not considered clay minerals, such as calcite, dolomite, gibbsite, quartz, alumina, pyrite, and others. Chemically, clays are composed of hydrated silicates of aluminum and iron, containing also a certain amount of alkaline and earth alkaline elements.
