Electron Microscopy Study

As shown in Chap. 5, metakaolinite shows amorphous to words X-ray and spinel too is a very weakly crystalline material. In view of it, an extremely powerful technique high resolution electron microscopy is applied for characterization.

Preface

The importance of Kaolinite Clay in the development of modern ceramic science can best be appreciated by considering its widespread influence on ceramic, material science, and mineralogy. The vision for this book is to upgrade the knowledge of the phase transformation process in ceramic science. The application of basic theory on the mechanism of decomposition of kaolinite during heating leads to ample opportunities and challenges in the development of clay-based technologies. For example, refractory-brick making industries, production of synthetic mullite indust
