  abstract = {{O}n the basis of particle size distributions, bulk chemical and mineralogical compositions and firing properties, this paper outlines an assessment of the industrial suitability of {M}ayouom kaolin deposit for sustainable development. {T}he characteristics of the studied samples compared to some standards indicate that these kaolins are high quality industrial clays. {F}iring yielded good results for white firing ceramics and for refractory ceramics. {F}or other industrial uses, a treatment by purification and titanium removal is necessary to improve their suitability.},
