Based on chemical composition kaolin is broadly classified as either hydrous kaolin or calcined kaolin. When water molecule is attached to the kaolin, it is referred to be hydrous. This water molecule is removed from the hydrous clay through a process known as calcination, which involves heating the clay to high temperatures.
