What is porceline?
I do not know but I know that porcelain is a name for goods made with fine grained clay (kaolin) fired at a high temperature, that is often made into high quality cups and dishes.
How long do canned baked beans last?
I just opened and ate a can of non-fat refried beans from 7 years ago, and it was fine. At first my wife and I were going to throw it out, but with the current recession every can of beans counts.
How did the natives make adobe bricks?
The natives in North America collected clay by a simple process. They would basically dig about a half foot to a foot beneath the ground where soft dirt would lay. After collecting the amount needed they would add water and fine sand while wedging the dirt to the desired texture.
Are the people in japan known for their clay pottery?
Yes. Some of finest work in porcelain is from Japan. In fact, they developed the method for creating objects from porcelain. The Blue Willow pattern comes from Japan. It shows a story about lost love. The art of pottery and porcelain began in China 3,000 years ago. This is why it is called "China." It wasn't until 1709 when a German chemist finally figured out how to make the fine clay needed to produce porcelain. He began a factory in Meissen, Germany to produce porcelain objects. Meissen porcelain is still known for it's fine china and objects.
What kind of clay did ancient Greece use?
Greece enjoys ample deposits of fine clay, in particular large quantities of good quality secondary clay. The clay beds around Athens are distinctive for their chemical composition, mainly with respect to their iron oxide (Fe2O3) and calcium oxide (CaO) contents, which are responsible for the reddish-orange colour of the fired clay. This marks it out from the clays of other regions such as Corinth where the pottery has a lighter, creamy-white appearance. Indeed spectroscopy and other methods has revealed unexpected connections amongst vases distributed around the Mediterranean basin, as in the case of the hydriai from Hadra near Alexandria. Previously thought to be Egyptian in origin analysis of their chemical composition has shown them to have been imported from a workshop in Rhodes[16]. Primary clays were rarer and used sparingly mostly as an accessory colour in decoration, for example on white ground vases where kaolinite was applied in a thin uniform layer while the pot was on the wheel. All clay was purified through levigation in order to remove such impurities as quartz and limestone in order to increase the malleability of the clay in the potter's hands. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery_of_ancient_Greece
What is special about kaolin clay?
It can withstand very high firing temperatures and is stronger as a result.
If we bake a clay can we get the raw clay back?
I don't think so. Maybe if the baked clay is ground up fine enough, it may be possible - but rather too costly, rather than to use fresh clay.
What is a mold in metal molding?
something that is non flammable and resists high temperatures, such as fine powdered rocks or some types of clay, just anything that's not flammable and heat resistant
Did fine China originate in China?
The short answer is yes. The Chinese made vases and similar products from fine clay which they exported to Europe. The English discovered the same type of clay in Britain. They called the clay "China clay" and the products made from it "fine China" after the country which pioneered the production technique.
Are bricks made from rock?
No, bricks are made out of clay which is fired at high temperatures in an oven or kiln. Clay itself was formed when rocks were weathered, releasing fine particles of minerals, usually silica (sand is made of silica and so is glass). When clay is wet these particles are separate but when it dries the particles stick together. Very high temperatures cause a chemical change in the minerals which cause them to harden (the same happens to sand which becomes liquid glass when heated and then hardens)
Is concerete pool good on clay?
I have a cement pool that has been fine in clay for about 15 years
Why is clay so abundant in soil?
Clay has a very fine grain, so as soil erodes it becomes more like clay.
Tell you facts about clay?
Clay is a naturally occurring material composed of fine-grained minerals. It is commonly used in ceramics, pottery, and brick making due to its malleability when moist and its ability to harden when fired at high temperatures. Clay has been used by humans for thousands of years for various purposes, including construction, art, and medicine.
Types of soil?
gravel,coarse,fine sand,silt and clay
Why is fine China called China if it is made in England?
Because it is made of a type of clay called China clay.
Is White a natural color for clay?
Depends on the type of clay. For most, though, it is a whitish-grayish color. I have had clay that is snow white, so white is fine.
What is smooth and sticky earth?
slug or a dart frog or a plush that has glue on it. EARTH! I think the answer is clay. Clay soils have fine grained minerals making them smooth ans sticky when wet.
