Mineralogical and physicochemical characterization of Ngaye alluvial clays (Northern Cameroon) and assessment of its suitability in ceramic production

This study reports the physicochemical analysis of three alluvial clastic clays from the Ngaye River in northern Cameroon. X-ray diffraction, infra-red spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis are used to establish the mineralogical composition. It is found that the main clay...
