Kaolin deposits of weathering‐residual type make up a large proportion in different types of kaolin deposits and are widely used in ceramics, electron ceramics, rubber and paper industries. This paper discusses sys‐tematically this type of kaolin deposit with respect to their features of occurrence, mineralogical and chemical composition and transformation of minerais during supergene processes, thus providing some basic data for the rational exploitation and utilization of the kaolin resources.
