Genetic Classification Of Kaolin
Jan 06, 2024| Based on the genesis of kaolin deposits, according to the differences in mineralization geology, geographical conditions, deposit scale, ore body morphology and occurrence characteristics, and ore material composition reflected by different mineralization processes, the Geological Exploration Specification for Kaolin Deposits divides China's kaolin deposits into three types and six subtypes.
1. Weathering type: further divided into weathering residual subtype and weathering leaching subtype;
2. Hydrothermal alteration type: further divided into hydrothermal alteration subtype and modern hydrothermal alteration subtype;
3. Sedimentary type: further divided into sedimentary and sedimentary weathering subtypes, as well as kaolinite clay rock subtypes in coal bearing strata
