Kaolin or china clay is a commercial clay composed principally of the hydrated aluminosilicate clay mineral kaolinite. The commercial value of kaolin is based on the mineral's whiteness and its fine, controllable particle size.

Kaolinite has a structure of 1:1 layers stacked above each other. Kaolinite consists of Si 4 + in the tetrahedral sites and Al 3 + in the octahedral sites (Fig. 1.2).The kaolinite layer is held by hydrogen bonding between the oxygen of the tetrahedral sheet and the hydroxyl of the octahedral sheet (Schulze, 2005).
