A New Alternative Source of Clay Raw Materials for Ceramic Materials Based on the Muddy Deposits in Water-Reservoirs.

The possibility of obtaining a new alternative source of clay raw materials for making ceramic materials based on muddy deposits, possessing functional properties, from reservoirs is considered. The physicochemical properties of sediments from the muddy bottom of the Tuyamuyun reservoir in Uzbekistan were studied. It was found that the ceramic bodies developed based on the dual muddy-kaolin composition can be used to produce ceramic materials intended for construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
