Abstract
The results of studying mullite formation based on hydromica clay – Al(OH)3 compositions are described. It is shown that formation of mullite (or a solid solution of mullite with corundum) is the most intense at temperatures of 1150 – 1200°C in compositions with a content of hydromica clay equal to 50 – 60%.
