A comprehensive investigation of the characteristics of clay from the Gurlan deposit showed that in a chemical formulation Gurlan hydromicaceous clay possesses a relatively high content of iron oxide and alkali oxides as well as fine dispersity and a small amount of finely dispersed free quartz, which make this clay readily fusible. It was also found that the Gurlan clay can be used as a low-temperature fluxing component, instead of cullet, erklez [glass stones], nepheline syenite, etc., in the development of ceramic compositions.
