This study focuses on characterizing the thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of quartz in burnt clay, pottery, and the sediments unearthed from a Neolithic site, the Beicun site of the Liangzhu culture. It shows that the initial OSL signals (within 0.8 s) of most burnt clay and pottery sherds are not dominated by the fast component.

The Occurrence of Ball Clays in SW England

The geology, types of ball clay, occurrence and extraction methods are different in each of the 3 deposit, but they are all composed of the clay mineral 'kaolinite'. The name 'ball clay' comes from the early working methods, when the clay was cut into cubes using thirting spades, tubils (lumpers in North Devon) and poges.

Recent advances in lithium extraction from lithium-bearing clay …

The research on Li extraction from Li-bearing clay minerals must focus on methods with higher efficiency and lower energy consumption, compared to the industrialized H 2 SO 4 method (Swain, 2017). To achieve this, the roasting of clays with carbonates and sulfate must be carried out at lower temperatures to avoid energy-intensive phase transfer.

Aluminum Extraction From Clays

There are also method to electrolyse aluminum chloride (no CO2 exhaust but Cl, maybe recycleable to clay extraction) Diffrent Alumina extraction processes Acid process from clay. Alumina (alumium ore) extraction from clay. Bauxite are rare minera, clay are common so chemical process based on clay- not bauxite.

Environmental and technical assessment to support …

Considering the high availability of potential clay sources in Brazil and the strategic location of cement plants across the country (as seen in Fig. 1, it is unlikely that the distance from a suitable clay extraction site and the calcination plant will exceed 500 km. Therefore, the distance from the calcination site should not be a significant ...
