Study of Shomishkul kaolin for producing ceramic materials

Abstract

The article discusses the results of research studies of kaolins from the Shomishkul deposit in Karakalpakstan using chemical-mineralogical and X-ray phase analyses. As a result of the tests, it was established that samples of clay minerals from the studied deposits can be used as the main raw material component for the production of ceramic materials, which helps to expand the raw material base for the production of ceramic materials for construction purposes.
