This research is aimed at carrying out a comparative analysis of the thermal properties of selected clay samples. The clay samples were coded A and B, Obtained from Birnin Kebbi and Maiyama local Govt. Areas of Kebbi state. Nigeria. The thermal properties of the selected samples were determined using standard ASTM Techniques which includes TGA, DTA and XRD techniques. The results of the research shows that both samples contained Halloysite, kaolinite and calcium carbonate. Sample B has the highest amount of kaolinite clay with the value of 3.676 and it is therefore the best for industrial applications, more especially in the areas of pottery and ceramic production, paper production and modern pop. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
