TLDR
Instrumental characterizations of the clay were performed by different techniques such as XRF, XRD and FTIR as discussed by the authors, which showed the presence of quartz, alumina, haematite and different mineral matters.Abstract:
Instrumental characterizations of the clay were performed by different techniques such as XRF, XRD and FTIR. XRF shows the chemical compositions of the clay where Al-oxide and silica oxide are present in major quantity whereas XRD confirms the presence of these minerals in clay. FTIR studies show the presence of quartz, alumina, haematite and different mineral matters.read more
