A hybrid biomass-natural kaolinite for refractory ceramic manufacturing Open
The current study investigates the effect of adding a low-cost biomaterial (sawdust biomass) to kaolinite clay on the properties of insulating refractory materials. Natural kaolinite clay from NW Tunisia has been selected for porous cerami…

Characterization of refractory bricks from selected Cameroonian kaolins Open
Three clay materials (codded MY3, KG and KK) from western Cameroon were selected and investigated for the production of refractory bricks. Samples MY3 and KG are kaolinite-rich materials, having clay mineral contents of 88% and 72%, respec…

Evaluation of Belgian clays for manufacturing compressed earth blocks Open
This study aims to characterize Belgian clays in order to evaluate their use for manufacture of compressed earth blocks (CEB). Nineteen Belgian clay deposits were sampled in 56 sites and 135 samples were collected and analyzed. The analyse…

Mineralogy and geochemical features of Foumban clay deposits (west Cameroon): genesis and potential applications Open
Five clay deposits in Foumban, west Cameroon, were studied for their morphological, mineralogical and geochemical properties to determine their suitability for ceramics. The clays were examined with X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, t…
