TLDR
In this paper, it is shown that the behavior of a clay in an industrial process is often controlled by other factors, such as particle size distribution of the clay minerals and firing conditions, which must also be taken into consideration.
Abstract
The question is raised as to what extent a study of the clay mineralogy enables the detailed ceramic behaviour of a clay to be predicted. It is indicated that the behaviour of a clay in an industrial process is often controlled by other factors, such as particle size distribution of the clay minerals and firing conditions which must, therefore, also be taken into consideration.
