This study focused on the thermal propertiesof the Kpata fireclay in order to look into its refractoriness. Thermogravimetry (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermal conductivity tests were carried out to analyse the fireclay’s thermal properties. The fireclay was also compacted and fi...
