Abstract

The article presents the results of the complex study of the physical, chemical and technological properties of the primary caolins from the «Sitnica» and «Dedovka» deposits enriched with the method of clarification. It has been stated that caolins having a particular degree of quality can be used for the production of ceramic tiles of various functions. The compositions of the masses for obtaining tiles for the internal lining of walls and for floors are recommended with partial replacement of the imported refractory clay and caolins for caolins from the «Sitnica» and «Dedovka» deposits with the correction of the quantity ofquartz-containing raw material.
