Calcined Clay or Refractory clay is obtained by Calcining (heating) superior-grade Clay at high temperatures (from 850o C to 1600o C).

This removes moisture and volatiles which thereby increases the Alumina content.

Compared to an Alumina content of about 30% to 40% in raw Clay, Calcined Clay has an Alumina content of 40% to 60%.

The Calcination is carried out in Rotary Kilns at different temperatures ranging from 850o C to 1600o C depending upon the customer's application.
