Abstract:Raw materials from some mines from the Iraqi Westren Desert were used to manufacture tap water porcelain filter. They were Montmorolinite clays, Sand, Limestone, and remnants of the membership. These materials were cleaned dried grind and sieved to the required size then several homogenous mixtures were prepaired using different amounts of the raw materials.
