A bstract Two English and six American ball clays, representative of the ball clays in use in the whiteware industry, were tested to determine certain properties including plasticity, bulk specific gravity, volume shrinkage, transverse strength, and apparent porosity. The tests were conducted to observe the effect of electrodialysis and replacement of the cations which had been adsorbed by the clays in their natural state with other cations. Of the various cations substituted, Na + and K + were the most effective in altering certain physical properties such as plasticity and strength.
