CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER ONE1.0 INTRODUCTION Kaolin is a clay rock and part of the group of industrial mineral with the chemical composition (Al2Si205 (OH)4.It is a layered silicate mineral with one tetrahedral sheet linked through oxygen atoms to one octahedral sheet alumina i.e. structurally composed of silicate sheet (Si2O¬5) bonded to aluminum oxide/hydroxide layer Al2 (OH)4 called gibbsite layers and repeating layer of the mineral are hydrogen bonded together.

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER TWO2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW2.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The importance of kaolin is remarkable as one of the most abundant clay rock in soil and sediments, its properties are such that it interacts with other soil element to contribute to the mechanical stability of the soil column (Huertas et al, 1999; Chen et al., 2000). Kaolin is a layered clay rock and product of advanced weathering process. One layer of the clay consists of an alumina octahedral shut an ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 5 ]MECHANICAL METHODS (SIEVE ANALYSES).This method is used in the analysis of particles greater than 0.002mm in diameter. The selection of sieve for this test depends on the soil to be tested and the coarser the clay the larger the top of the sieve.A known quantity of soil is sieved through a stack of sieves with progressively smaller mesh openings, from top to bottom of the stack.This grain size analysis cannot provide information on the shape of soil grains, (weather angular, rounde ...

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION5.1 CONCLUSIONCompositional features and industrial applications of Kpankorogi and ijero Ekiti kaolin clay were analysed based on mineralogy, Chemical composition and physical characteristics of the deposits. This is with the view to determining its suitability as industrial raw material. From the study, it is Obtained that kpankorogi kaolin clay deposit is predominantly Quartz but with high SiO2 and Al2O3 contents, while ijero Ekiti k ... Continue reading---
