Kaolin

A fireclay composed of kaolin minerals (kaolinite, halloysite, dickite, hydrated halloysite, nacrite) that is white or nearly white when fired. Its main component is aluminum silicate. Impurities are mainly feldspar, silica sand, and mica minerals. Depending on the impurities, it is called feldspathic kaolin, micaceous kaolin, and one with a high iron content is called ferruginous kaolin. Clay with kaolinite as its main component is used for ceramics, refractories, and sheaths, while clay with halloysite as its main component is used for producing alumina and aluminum sulfate.
