Sintering behaviour of a clay containing pyrophyllite, sericite and kaolinite as ceramic raw materials: Looking for the optimum firing conditions

The sintering behaviour of a pyrophyllite clay has been investigated. The mineralogical composition by X-ray diffraction (XRD) of this sample was ∼35 wt.% pyrophyllite, ∼25 wt.% sericite/illite, ∼15 wt.% kaolinite and ∼20 wt.% quartz. The chemical composition was consistent with these results, with...
