The kaolin deposits cover an area of up to 10 km2 where kaolin is found in sub-surface layers covered with sand and marl deposits. Kaolin is also shown in the form of a large number of prominent divergent tongues that rise several meters above the earth's surface and extend up to 300 meters. The area contains an enormous stock of whitish kaolin.
Kaolin is a 1:1 layered aluminosilicate clay with a formula of Al 2 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4, where every adjacent layer is connected by hydrogen bonds. The layered structure makes kaolin easily stripped into slices with high surface area, leading to wide utilisation in catalysis, sorbents and as a filler material (Ptček et al., 2013).
