Abstract
The clay reserves of Kerala as well as of India as a whole and the world have been reviewed. Fine mapping charts of conventional and non-conventional uses of clay have been given. All uses have been indexed in consideration of their applicability and adaptation in India. A table giving the amount of various clays used in different Indian industries has been made. Certain new uses of clay as filler and reinforcement in metals, as a source of Al-Si alloys and as a material for making light weight insulating materials have been discussed. The imperative to develop new processes for some of the newer clay-based products have been listed. The role of clay in alleviating the energy crisis by acting as insulating materials and acting as a means of producing oxygen enriched air has been amplified. Research activities on clays in India have been discussed. The world-wide need to use materials based on abundant alumino-silicate materials in place of scarcer materials has been elaborated.
