The characteristics of the studied samples compared to some standards indicate that these kaolins are high quality industrial clays. Firing yielded good results for white firing ceramics and for refractory ceramics. For other industrial uses, a treatment by purification and titanium removal is necessary to improve their suitability. specialized Mayouom Cameroon Kaolin characteristics Industrial suitability 064 43 1 118-124 2009 0169-1317 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00006543 10.1016/j.clay.2008.07.019 0169-1317 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00006543 IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2011-03-23 2017-08-23 PAR00006543 fre
