Documentation on clay minerals in Nigeria The most abundant, ubiquitous, and accessible material on the earth crust is clay [11]. Reference [5] observed that a great emphasis is placed on exploiting the abundant solid minerals endowments in Nigeria with a view
Three residual clay occurrences in Papalanto, Ifo, and Imoto areas which belong to the sedimentary basin of southwestern Nigeria were investigated to determine their industrial applications. The samples were pulverized, sieved, digested with mineral acids and characterized. Clay mineralogy was determined using Xray Diffraction (XRD).
List of Solid Minerals in Nigeria and their Locations
Bentonite Clay Mining in Nigeria Just like Nigeria, other Africa countries are also rich in this type of mineral resources. Bentonite is found in these Nigerian States; Edo, Kogi, Ogun, Ondo, Adamawa, Plateau and Borno states.
the clay layers have negative crystal charge which is balanced by exchangeable cations such as Na+, K+, Ca2+ in the interlayer together with water molecules bonded by iondipole forces. The hydration of these inorganic cations causes the clay mineral surface to be hydrophilic (Xi et al., 2007; Banik et al., 2015; Rodriguez et al., 2015).

Clay mineral: A case study of its potentialities in . Nov 04, 2010 #183; This paper examine the significance of clay mineral as a principal raw materials used for ceramic manufacture such as structural, refractories, and whitewares products in Nigeria and especially some clay mineral loions in Kaduna State of Nigeria.
Clay minerals are hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, sometimes with variable amounts of iron, magnesium, alkali metals, alkaline earths, and other cations found on or near some planetary surfaces.. Clay minerals form in the presence of water and have been important to life, and many theories of abiogenesis involve them. They are important constituents of soils, and have been useful to humans
Clay Mineral Deposits in Nigeria Africa is endowed with clay rich countries and clay is gotten from majority of the states in Nigeria, and is deposited in most of the states in larger quantities, the states include; Abuja (FCT) Akwa Ibom, Anambra State, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Lagos, Nasarawa, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, and Sokoto.

Clay Mineral Deposits In Nigeria With Their Locations And Uses. Clay Mining in Nigeria. Even though clay can be commercially mined in West African countries like Nigeria by companies through a clay pit, it is mainly dug locally from its sources by Nigerians.
25. Mineral Resources Found in Lagos state. Lagos is the richest state in Nigeria and has only three natural and mineral resources namely: Bitumen, Clay amp; Glasssand. 26. Mineral Resources Found in Nasarawa state. Nasarawa is another place in Nigeria where you can find most natural resources.
Mineralogical, chemical compositions, phase constitutions, and microstructural morphology of certain clay minerals from three different deposits in south western Nigeria were investigated using
