(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. Fireclays are used in the manufacture of bricks, blocks, retorts, crucibles, mortars, masses, etc. Low-grade material is used for manufacturing heavy sanitary ware, such as, pipes and bath tubs. Firebricks are used where heat generation is involved. Firebricks are used extensively in furnaces, kilns and ovens. Firebricks are required chiefly by metallurgical industries. The fireclays are graded into: i) low duty ii) Intermediate duty iii) high duty and iv) super Duty, depending upon their capacity to withstand high temperature before melting. The low duty fireclay can withstand temperatures between 1,515 and 1,615 °C (PCE 19-28); intermediate duty fireclay up to 1650 ºC (PCE 30), high duty fireclay up to 1700 ºC (PCE 32) and super duty beyond 1,775 ºC (PCE 35). BIS has not standardized any specifications for fireclay. However, the erstwhile Director General of Technical Development Sub-committee on Refractory Raw Materials had recommended specifications as given in Table-3.The Expert Group on Classification of Minerals with regard to their Possible Optimum Industrial Use, had recommended the following end-use classification of fireclay for refractory industry: Constituent Type Al2O3 Fe2O3 PCE (Orton) Non-plastic/ 30% (min) 2% (max) 30 (min) semi-plastic Plastic 18% (min) 3% (max) 18 (min)Table – 3 : a)Non-plastic/Semi-plastic Fireclay Grade-I -35-40% 1.0% max 33 min Grade-II- 32-35% 1.0-1.5% max 32 min Grade-III 30-32% 1.5-2.0% max 30 min b)Plastic Fireclay Grade-I 30-32% 1.0-1.5% 30 min Grade-II 28-30% 2.0-3.0% 28 min Grade-III 22-28% 1.0-2.0% 26 min Grade-IV 18-20% 1.5-2.0% 18-21 min Crude fireclay and other clays including kaolin (china clay) are also used in a few cement manufacturing plants to increase the alumina content in the raw meal and its plasticity. (iv)Demand-Supply Gap. The production of fireclay at 571 thousand tones in 2010-11 increased by 4% as compared to that in the previous year. There were 51 reporting mines in both the years. Besides these primary mines, the production of fireclay was also reported as an associated mineral by 5 mines, which accounted for 3% of the total production during the year 2010-11. Nine principal producers contributed 80% of the total production. Eighteen fireclay mines each producing more than 5,000 tones annually together with 2 associated mines accounted for about 86% of the total production. Private sector mines reported 99% output of fireclay. Rajasthan continued to occupy the first position among states with contribution of 67%,followed by Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and West Bengal each contributing about 6%. The remaining 15% was the contribution of Tamil Nadu (5%), Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh (4% each), Karnataka (2%) and Maharashtra (nominal)Mine-head stocks of fireclay at the end of 2010-11 were 396 thousand tonnes as compared to 255 thousand tones at the beginning of theYear.The average daily employment of labour during 2010- 11 was 603 as against 548 in the preceding year. Domestic prices of fireclay are furnished in the General Review on 'Prices'. Dr. S. K.
