Kaolinite was the dominant clay mineral in the kaolin deposits and occurrences in Africa with smectite and illite in major quantities, as well as a number of non-clay minerals commonly present in kaolins. Major applications of the kaolins included ceramics, bricks, earthenware, coating, paint, and functional filler.
BACKGROUND The commercial production of zeolite A mainly involves costly synthetic chemicals. However, cheaper raw materials such as clay minerals, coal ashes, natural zeolites, solid wastes and industrial sludge have been tested. Based on this, the objective of present study is synthesis of zeolite A from two sources of raw kaolins (Ansho and …

An air background spectrum was collected at the start of the sample analysis. A small sample of zeolite and kaolin was centered on the zinc selenide (ZnSe) plate to ensure that it covered the entire crystal surface, and a pressure clamp was used to apply pressure on the sample. The zeolite and kaolin samples were analyzed three times.

production [22]. Ethiopian has enormous minerals including kaolin clay as per the geological survey of Ethiopia, unpublished report. Kaolin clay was surveyed and found across different regions but is not used as a commercial raw material for industries as well as for water and waste-water purification.
Alumina is generally above 35% in the Bombowha kaolin with impurity elements such as iron Ž- 1%. and total alkali and titanium accounting for less than 3%. On the other hand, the Kombelcha kaolin bears a relatively lower alumina Ž33.24%., and higher total alkali and iron, averaging 2.54 and 2.63%, respectively.
Production of catalysts ac- count for 119,600 tons of kaolin and the pharmaceutical industry uses kaolin in minor quantities as inert filler. The prices of various kaolin products for different grades are regularly re- ported by Chemical Marketing Reporter and a comparison of the different types of clays with variations in their price between ...
