Abstract

The laboratory-technological studies of the main characteristics of pyrophyllite and kaolinite strata detected on the territory of the Republic of Belarus and of the physical and chemical properties of samples of ceramic products having them in raw compositions have confirmed the possibility of using the strata of those deposits as raw material for production of sanitary-technical ceramics. The recieved results allow to substantiate the replacement of the traditional kaolinic raw materials in sanitary ceramic compositions with pyrophyllite-including ones in case of compliance of the main characteristics of the finished product with the requirements of normative documentation.
