First Day
for the first day of the field work, the UM bus already rosak liao...so teruk..suppose to be in Tapah at 11am to visit Associated Kaolin Industries (AKI)..
just as the company name, this factory produce Kaolin to supply to various industry...
a simply introduction to Kaolin for better understanding..here we go:

the formation of kaolin is based on the gradual decomposition of feldspar rocks by intense chemical and thermal activities. The hydrolysis of feldspar rocks yields aluminium hydrate and silicic acid which combined to form Kaolinite.Thru nature volcanic activities, where the ash deposit converted to bentonite and subsequently to Kaolinite by weathering and chemical reactions.

next, we go to lombong S.E.K(M)..unfortunately, the mine is being shut down since it is located at the road side and might be dangerous to the housing area nearby..so we only manage to take group picture in front of it and go inside look at the left over geological site...
this is the view from the hill in the lombong SEK..nice view isnt it?

enuf for now...to be continue...continue to dota...haha...
