Abstract
⺠Firing transformations of red clay were investigated by DT-TGA, FTIR, and XRD. ⺠Kaolinite, quartz, hematite, and goethite are presented in the red clays. ⺠The firing promotes the formation of new minerals such as mullite. ⺠FTIR technique is very suitable to analyze mullite environment. ⺠The studied clay has adequate characteristics for ceramic fabrication.
