Studies of the nature of the most effective methods of regulating the liquefaction and fluidity of kaolin from the Zhuravlinyi Log deposit are reviewed. Data on the material, mineral, and microaggregate compositions of different types of kaolin as well as the particulars of the morphology and crystal-chemical properties of kaolinite are presented. It is shown that kaolin microaggregates consist of a mixture of kaolinite of different sizes — from large to small with average degree of ordering, right up to ultrafine and x-ray amorphous.
