Abstract
The aim of this work was first to characterize a Moroccan clay powder employed particularly in the ceramic industry. Afterwards, electrochem ical and rheological properties of this powder in concentrated aqueous suspensions (50 % wt) were studied in order to optimize the stability of these slurries. Polarization resistance (Rp) and viscosity (eta) m easurements techniques were used to study these properties. in fact, R p and eta were determined as a function of pH and especially discussed and compared to other previous works.
