Cold Process Soaps: First pre-mix some Kaolin Clay with water before adding to cold process soap. *Mix 1 part Kaolin clay to 1 part water until all the powders are fully saturated (e.g. mix 1 teaspoon Kaolin clay with 1 teaspoon water). After that, add the mixture to your soap. *Add in the Kaolin Clay before adding your Essential or Fragrance oil.

The kaolin clay distribution was identified in about 80% of the VES stations with resistivity values ranging between 1099 -22037 m and thicknesses between 0.4 -17 m.

The kaolin clay distribution was identified in about 80% of the VES stations with resistivity values ranging between 1099 - 22037 m and thicknesses between 0.4 - 17 m. Chemical analysis carried out on samples collected from these sites shows that the kaolin clay ... Prior to 1975, the production of kaolin in Nigeria had been very irregular ...

Mineralogical studies were carried out on kaolin clay sample from Alkaleri LGA, Northeastern-Nigeria, in order to deduce its properties. Samples of the material were pretreated and subjected to elemental composition, powder diffraction, thermal, Fourier transform infrared, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and area-volume-pore size analyses. Kaolinite was found to be dominant clay …

There is market for the raw and processed kaolin in Nigeria and abroad but I would dwell on the processed one for the supply in the local market. Kaolin processing is of two types, the wet and dry process. The wet process is used when the silica content and impurities in the raw kaolin is high and usually the end product is high grade kaolin ...
