Abstract
Diaspore (Al20 3.H20), is normally associated with china clays or corundum and
is seldom found as pure diaspore.
Two samples of diaspore from Jhansi district in U.P. were tested for their various
properties and the possibility of their utilization for making 60 to 70% Al20 3 bricks
was investigated. The test results indicate that these diaspore samples could be used
in making bricks, similar to or even better than normal sillimanite bricks. In the bricks
thus produced, Al20 3 content may be even up to 70-7 5 % depending upon the quantity
of diaspore used.
