“…In contrast, exothermic peak temperatures of the studied kaolins were lower than those for Makoro and Kgwakgwe. Compared to Mayouom kaolins, utilised for white firing ceramics and refractories Nkoumbou et al, 2009), exothermic temperatures for MK 1 and 2 were much lower whereas the rest of the samples recorded comparatively higher values (Table 2). With the exception of MK 1 and MK 2, exothermic temperatures of the studied samples were close to that of Mavaiela kaolins, used for bricks, tile and paper (Saviano et al, 2005;Ekosse, 2010).…”

“…As developing economies, the contribution of kaolin resources towards economic growth and sustainability of both nations is of paramount importance, however very few deposits have been sufficiently characterized for industrial purpose (Horn and Strydom, 1998;Kamsue et al, 2007;Nkoumbou et al, 2009;Diko and Ekosse, 2012;Diko, 2012;Diko and Ekosse, 2014). Current exploitation of most kaolin deposits or occurrences in South Africa and Cameroon are limited to the manufacture of structural ceramic products such as bricks and roofing tiles.…”

“…O termo caulim é utilizado para denominar a rocha que contém o mineral caulinita (Al (OH) 4 ), assim como o produto de seu beneficiamento. É uma rocha constituída de material argiloso, com baixo teor de ferro e cor branca ou quase branca e de granulometria fina.…”

“…O Brasil é responsável por aproximadamente 7% da produção mundial de caulim e detém em torno de 28% das reservas mundiais. [2][3][4][5] Caulins são resultantes de alterações de silicatos de alumínio, particularmente, os feldspatos e podem ocorrer em dois tipos de depósitos: os primários ou residuais (eluvial) e os secundários. Depósitos primários são resultantes das alterações de rochas in situ, enquanto que os secundários são oriundos da deposição de materiais transportados por correntes de água doce.…”
