Kaolin yi minerali non-metallic, nto leyo luhlobo lodongwe kunye nelitye lodongwe ikakhulu yakhiwe Kaolinite iqela izimbiwa zodongwe.Ngenxa yembonakalo yayo emhlophe kunye nethambileyo, ikwabizwa ngokuba ngumhlaba weBaiyun.Yathiywa ngeGaoling Village eJingdezhen, kwiPhondo laseJiangxi.

I-kaolin yayo ecocekileyo imhlophe, ithambile kwaye ifana ne-Mollisol, kunye neplastiki elungileyo, ukumelana nomlilo kunye nezinye iimpawu zomzimba kunye neekhemikhali.Ukubunjwa kwayo kweeminerali kuqulunqwe ikakhulu iKaolinite, i-halloysite, i-hydromica, i-Illite, i-Montmorillonite, i-quartz, i-feldspar kunye nezinye iiminerali.I-Kaolin isetyenziswa kakhulu ekwenzeni iphepha, iiseramikhi, kunye nezixhobo zokuchasa, ilandelwa ziingubo zokugquma, izihluzi zerabha, ukumenyezela kwe-enamel, kunye nemathiriyeli ekrwada yesamente emhlophe.Isixa esincinci sisetyenziswa kwiplastiki, ipeyinti, ibala, amavili okusila, iipensile, izithambiso zemihla ngemihla, isepha, izibulali-zinambuzane, amayeza, amalaphu, i-petroleum, imichiza, izinto zokwakha, ukhuselo lwelizwe kunye namanye amacandelo oshishino.

Kaolin izimbiwa ziqulunqwe Kaolinite, dickite, pearl ilitye, halloysite kunye nezinye Kaolinite cluster minerals, kunye necandelo leminerali engundoqo Kaolinite.

I-Crystal chemistry formula ye-Kaolinite yi-2SiO2 ● i-Al2O3 ● i-2H2O, kunye nokwakheka kwayo kwe-Theory chemistry yi-46.54% SiO2, 39.5% Al2O3, 13.96% H2O.Kaolin izimbiwa 1:1 uhlobo umaleko silicate, kwaye ikristale ikakhulu yenziwe silica tetrahedron kunye alumina Octahedron.I-silica tetrahedron idityaniswe ecaleni kolwalathiso lwesibini-dimensional ngokwabelana nge-angle ye-vertex ukuze yenze i-hexagonal grid layer, kunye ne-oksijini ephezulu engabelwe i-silica tetrahedron nganye ibhekene necala elinye;I-1: 1 uhlobo lweyunithi umaleko yenziwe ngesilicon oxide tetrahedron umaleko kunye ne-aluminium oxide Octahedron umaleko, owabelana ngencam ye-oksijini ye-silicon oxide tetrahedron umaleko.
