Characterization and Technological Applications for Kaolin Processing Wastes

Article Preview

Abstract:

The use of kaolin in any industrial segment requires previous physical and chemical treatment to minimize the amounts of impurities to or below standard levels established according to the desired application. Wastes from kaolin processing from the Amazon region were characterized by DTA-TGA and XRD. This paper shows the thermal transformations of the rejects studied at temperatures of 600°C, 700°C, 800°C, 900 °C, 1000°C, 1300°C, 1400°C and 1500°C, tests with pyrometric cones and ceramic properties of the sintered materials aiming their use in refractory materials.
