Ball clays and kaolin are both primarily kaolinite in most cases. A small amount to significant fractions of quartz are also found. If the chemical composition of pure kaolinite powder (39.5% alumina, 46.5% silica, 14% water) is compared to the composition of a typical kaolin or ball clay, the presence of silica is apparent.

They are still kaolinitic, sedimentary, clays and can contain 20–80% kaolinite, with mica (10–25%) and quartz (6–65%) as major other components. Ball clays are fine-grained and plastic in nature. Ball clays occur in relatively scarce deposits due to the combination of geological factors needed for their formation and preservation.

Ball Clay (or plastic clays), is a kaolinitic mineral clay and a member of the phyllosilicate group of minerals. It occurs generally as an aluminium silicate comprising weathered forms of quartz, mica and kaolinite. Although similar in chemical composition, BALL CLAY is not as common as kaolin and differs substantially in physical characteristics.

1. Introduction. Ball clays have been increasingly utilized in the ceramic production to the point that the tilemaking industry turned to be the major end user, in particular in porcelain stoneware tiles (Sánchez et al., 2010, Dondi et al., 2014).Ball clay is defined as "fine-grained, highly plastic, mainly kaolinitic clay, the higher grades of which …

Ball clays are kaolinitic clays that commonly consist of 20–80% kaolinite, 10–25% mica, 6–65% quartz, as well as organic matter. Ball clay is formed from the weathering and transportation by water of parent rocks. Seams in the same deposit will vary in composition, depending on the quantity of the principal and accessory minerals.

Ball clay has a higher density due to its smaller particle size, resulting in a denser material. Kaolin clay, with its larger particles, has a lower density. Chemical composition is an important aspect to consider in ceramics production. Ball clay consists of a combination of minerals, primarily composed of kaolinite, mica, and quartz.

Ball Clay. Ball Clays is a fine-grained, highly plastic sedimentary clay, which fire to a light or near white color. They are used mainly in the manufacture of ceramic whiteware and are valued for their key properties of plasticity, which makes them easy to mould, their unfired strength and the fact that when fired they have a light color.

The formation of clay minerals is due to the chemical weathering of rock [9, 10]. The chemical and structural composition of clay minerals is found to be similar to the primary minerals which originate from the crust of earth mainly from igneous or metamorphic rocks. Transformations may occur in ambient conditions.

Clay minerals are very small, usually less than 4 µm in diameter, and have net negative sur-face charge (Brindley and Brown, 1980). Their high surface area and negative charge, providing large reaction surface and ion-exchange capacity, allow clay minerals to track relatively subtle changes in flu-id chemical composition.
