ABSTRACT:
An aluminosilicate ceramic product or article and a method of forming the article from as-mined ore. The product is useful as a proppant in gas and oil well fracturing. The ratio, on a calcined basis, of alumina to silica is between approximately 2.2 to 4.0. The amount of iron in the product is controlled as a function of the alumina to silica ratio so as to produce products having less than ten percent (10%) crush loss when subjected to a force of 10,000 psi.
