Kaolin is an important and widely used industrial mineral which is refined from Kaolinite. It is a naturally – occurring mineral of the clay family and may contain a number of impurities such as quartz, feldspar, tourmaline, ilmenite, zircon, etc, which were derived from the parent rock.
The bulk of the Kaolinitic clay deposits in the country are either sedimentary or residual in origin and are usually associated with granitic rocks. Occurrences of kaolin have been recorded in different parts of the country and specific abundant deposits have been identified in parts of Enugu, Anambra, Kaduna,Katsina, Plateau, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Bauchi, Sokoto, and Borno States.
