Kaolin is a nonmetallic mineral, a kind of clay and clay rock mainly composed of kaolinite group clay minerals. [1] from Jiangxi province Jingdezhen Gaoling village name.
Hello landlord! Light calcium carbonate (Light Calcium Carbonate), also known as precipitated calcium carbonate (Precipitated, Calcium, Carbonate, referred to as PCC). Light calcium carbonate is prepared by chemical process. Because its settling volume (2.4-2.8mL/g) is larger than that of heavy calcium carbonate produced by mechanical methods (1.1-1.9mL/g), it is called light calcium carbonate.
