Abstract
This chapter presents the raw materials, the industrial preparation, and properties of ceramics, refractories and glasses. Particular attention is given to the most common ceramic materials found in industry and their raw materials namely: silica and silicates, bauxite and alumina, magnesite and magnesia, limestone and calcia, zircon and zirconia, carbon-based and silicon carbide along with the description of the most common advanced ceramics. Several tables containing comprehensive lists of the properties of raw materials for more than 100 advanced ceramics are also included.

In the early days of the Dow Chemical process for production of magnesium metal, large quantities of oyster shells were used as a source of pure calcium carbonate for the preparation of magnesia from seawater.

The reservoir is the underground formation where oil and gas have accumulated. It consists of a porous rock to hold the oil or gas, and an impervious cap rock that prevents them from escaping.
