| Abstract |
| There is a reserve of 1.3 million tons of ball clay in the Padappakkara
area in Qw1on District of Kerala. This is a potential plastic clay
deposit of south India. The various parameters affecting plasticity,
namely pH, base exchange capacity (bee), humic acid content and
mineralogical composition of this clay have been investigated in the
present work. The properties of this clay have also been compared
with those of the plastic clays from Payyangadi (Kerala), Bikaner
(Rajasthan), Bimadole (Andhra Pradesh), Than (Gujarat), Westerwald
(West Germany) and lnagaki-kibushi (Japan). A regression
analysis was also done to correlate the properties of clays with
plasticity. |
