“…Also, Olokode et al, [19] investigated the suitability of using Ilese Awo clays and cow dung to produce insulating firebrick and to determine the optimal ratio of the constituent which gave a positive result. Other researchers on utilization of clay shows that some ceramic tiles were manufactured using clay and milled glass materials [20] while others are made of nearly 100% clay minerals. Also, Elekhame, et al, [21] affirmed in his research that clays are the major raw materials for sanitary wares production.…”

Characterization of some clay deposits in Southern zone of Ebonyi State of Nigeria were carried out to determine their potentials for industrial applications. Chemical and mineralogical analyses of the clay samples were determined using x-ray florescence spectroscope (XRF) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD) respectively. The characteristics investigated before / after sintered at various temperatures were physical appearance, loss on ignition, plasticity, linear shrinkage, apparent porosity, bulk density, modulus of rupture, water absorption, thermal shock resistance and estimated refractoriness. The results obtained indicated that the clay samples are mostly kaolinitic clay deposits and chemically composed of mainly silica ranging 42.24 % to 61.21% and alumina ranging 15.11 % to 35.41%. The results of chemical and physical characteristics examined confirmed that the clay samples are suitable for industrial applications such as paper, paint, fertilizer, refractory bricks, ceramic tiles, porcelain insulator product e.t.c. Additionally, exploitation of two of the clay samples for porcelain insulator and dense refractory brick signified that excellent qualities of 33KVA porcelain insulators and dense refractory bricks of intercontinental standard can be fashioned locally with 100% local content. However, if these clay deposits can be utilized for industrial applications, it will go a long way in sinking the huge amount depleted in importation of many ceramic products and creating employment opportunity.

“…In Nigeria at earlier period, there had been problems of open defecation which dates back to when people living in the rural communities made use of dump sites and bushes to relieve themselves. With colonisation, pit latrines and much later, closed water system came into existence [2].…”

“…The ceramic industries in Nigeria have not been enterprising when judged from available data as sourced from the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC), Abuja. There is abundance of ceramics raw materials locally; therefore, the problem is not the scarcity of raw materials, but inadequate technology, because the ceramics industry can be sustained on low level technology [2] [3]. Six problems were however identified to be militating against Nigeria ceramics industry in the past and these included unfavorable industrial climate, entrepreneurial attitude, lack of skilled manpower, neo-colonial acculturation, lack of inter-disciplinary co-operation and poor management.…”

The fact is that Nigeria ceramic raw materials are underutilized as a result of inadequate information on the materials which limits the local production of water closet. The emphasis of this research was on the suitability of the physio-chemical properties of the abundant locally sourced ceramic raw materials from Southwest Nigeria. The selected locally sourced raw materials included: kaolin, feldspar, silica and ball clay. The Physical properties carried out on the specimens produced include chemical analysis, shrinkage, porosity, bulk density, modulus of rupture, plasticity and viscosity. The physical property tests were done in accordance with (ASTM C). Standard and the chemical composition were identified by AAS spectrometer. However, the ratio of kaolin, feldspar, quartz and ball clay was varied in five major formulation represented as A, B, C, D and E. The clay, kaolin, quartz and feldspar used in this study were found to belong to alumina-silicate group suitable for the production of standard water closet. The samples' properties met the required standards; hence, the materials were found suitable for production of water closet of acceptable standards. Composition A specimen gives the most suitable proportions for the production of water closet at 40% of kaolin, 25% of feldspar, 10% of quartz and 25% of ball clay respectively.

This paper focuses on the need for domesticating the production of building materials like tiles to address the problem of Nigeria over dependence on imported goods, despite adequate availability of mineral resources like clay, quartz and feldspar in the country. Clay, quartz and feldspar, and milled glass were respectively obtained from Ogijo in Ogun State, Okpila in Edo State and Oshodi, Lagos State of Nigeria were characterized using ASTM C71 as a guide. Samples of the ceramic tile were produced from varying mixtures of clay, quartz, feldspar and milled glass. The chemical and physio mechanical properties of the samples were also determined. The results showed that the clay sample belong to Alumino-silicate group with 59.20% silica and 21.25% alumina. The samples’ properties met the required standards; hence, the materials were found suitable for production of ceramic tiles of acceptable standards. Though, the porosity of the sample tiles increased as thepercentage weight of the clay material in the mixture decreased the proportion of quartz, feldspar and milled glass increased. The sample containing 70% Clay and 30% Feldspar had better formulation properties than others.
