agyagtípusok
Agyagtípusok refers to the classification of clays based on their mineralogical composition and physical properties. These types are crucial in various industries, including ceramics, construction, and even medicine. The primary factor determining clay type is the specific type of clay mineral present, which forms through the weathering of rocks over geological time.
The most common clay types are kaolinite, illite, and smectite. Kaolinite, also known as China clay, is
