Kyanite—propertiesconversion to mullite (Al6Si2O13) and SiO2 at 1400-1500 deg C, expands irreversibly by up to 18%, thereby offsetting the firing shrinkage of other raw materials, especially clay, in ceramic bodies and refractories1 metric ton (t) of aluminosilicate concentrate yields approx 0.88 t of mullite
