Hard clay

Calcined clays are hard clays which have been heat treated to remove the combined water. The removal of any surface bound entity from the clay particles improves the capacity to improve the electrical resistance of rubber compounds. Calcinated clays also reduce compound water... 

Crushing and Grinding. Some raw materials, such as hard clay and quartzite, must first be crushed to grains small enough for the grinding equipment. In general, a jaw, gyrotory, or roll cmsher is employed (see SIZE REDUCTION). 

The exchange of sodium and calcium on clay minerals is of special importance, because it largely determines the ionic form of the clay, which in turn affects the performance of surfactant and polymer floods and the distribution of other ions of interest. In concentrated NaCl environments, clay exists mainly in the sodium form however, at low ionic strength and moderate hardness, clay may be essentially in the calcium form. Measurements with the sodium, calcium, and mixed forms are therefore of interest. 

The lower Miocene clay rocks with sandstone blocks in thickness are considered as collectors, and as a gas-proof lid - the Upper and Middle Miocene hard clay rocks. As for the collectoral rocks, they are located at 1000-1400 meter depth.

Leather-hard clay is formed when a natural clay piece is allowed to slowly dry to a partially dry state. 

Hinckley believes the differences between the two types of clays is largely a function of the environment of deposition and post-depositional leaching. The poorly crystallized hard clays were believed to have been deposited in a marine environment where face to face flocculation occurred. The well-crystallized soft clays were presumably flocculated edge to face in a fresh-water environment. The more porous soft clays were more thoroughly leached and re-crystallized than the less porous hard clays. Like other kaolinite studies this one does not provide any specific information about the actual chemical composition of the kaolinite minerals. 

Kodama and co-workers [58] have reported TG-DSC curves for the analysis of the interaction between vulcanisation accelerators (tetramethylthiuram disulphide, dibenzothiazolyl disulphide, diphenylguanidine and N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolyl-sulphenamide) and fillers (carbon black, white carbon, hard clay and CaC03). The initial melting point (MP) of the accelerators was largely influenced by the fillers. The higher the surface activity of the filler is, the lower and wider the melting range becomes. 

The allowable bearing pressure varies for different types of soils, and the soil should be checked at the surface and at various depths to determine the bearing characteristics. The allowable bearing pressure for rock is 30 or more ton/ft2 (30 X 104 kg/m2), while that for soft clay may be as low as 1 ton/ft2 (1 x 104 kg/m2). Intermediate values of 4 to 10 ton/ft2 (4 X 104 to 10 X 104 kg/m2) apply for mixtures of gravel with sand, hard clay, and hardpan.

This is essentially hydrated aluminium silicates derived from natural deposits. There are soft clays, hard clays, calcined clays and treated clays. This is a common filler in the manufacture of acid resistant ebonites, natural soft rubbers and in Neoprene compounding for phosphoric acid duties. 

Hard Clays Sedimentary rocks composed mainly of fine clay mineral material without natural plasticity, or any compacted or indurated clay.
