The scientific techniques FTIR, TG-DTA and SEM-EDS have been employed for the estimation of the firing temperature and conditions by studying the difference in mineral composition in the samples using spectroscopic techniques FTIR analysis. TG-DTA is considered the complementary technique to FTIR analysis in estimating firing temperature by studying the thermal characteristic reactions such as dehydration, decomposition and transformations of minerals in the course of controlled firing of the samples.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>SEM-EDS studies are concentrated on the morphology and elemental composition of the samples.<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></strong></span></span></p> ER -
