CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Kaolin also finds application as crystal to promote organic reactions, such as petroleum cracking or de-polymerization of large organic molecules found in natural hydrocarbons as demonstrated by (Iglewe and Nwokolo, 2005).The grain size and shape of kaolin is used to advantages in the paper industry, where it is used both as a filling agent and as coating agent also printing inks tend to adhere better to kaolin –treated paper surface (Velde, 1992, Aliyu, 1996). Both grain and sha ... Continue reading---
