Physico-Chemistry of Azara Barytes and its Suitability for Industrial Applications

Abdullahi, Y.^*, Lawal, A. O

Azara baryte was subjected to analysis, revealing an average specific gravity of 4.3 g/cm³ and a loss on ignition of 1.71 wt%. The contents of Fe2O3, Al2O3, and BaO were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry. Gravimetric methods were employed to measure SiO2 and SO3, while flame photometry was utilized for the determination of CaO, MgO, N...

Mineralogical and Chemical Evaluation of Agbaja Fireclay for Industrial Applications

Abdullahi, Y.^*, Gonah C. M.

To evaluate the potential of Agbaja clay for industrial applications, a comprehensive analysis of its physico-chemical and mineralogical properties was undertaken. The clay exhibited a predominantly kaolinitic composition, as determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), with halloysite and illite as minor constituents. The chemical analysis reveal...
