what is magnetic separation in Kaolin?
Kaolin and china clay are widely used in many industries due to their special properties such as fine particle size, brightness and whiteness, chemical inertness, plate structure and the like. Kaolin is easier to remove mineral impurities that affect these special properties. When heat treatment is performed at a specific temperature, kaolin produces an industrially known product called "calcined kaolin" having characteristics such as high brightness, hydrophobicity, abrasive properties, and improved electrical properties. This paper studies two different causes of kaolin removal. Due to the presence of iron and ferrotitanium impurities, the quality is poor, so high gradients are required to remove iron. Both samples were heat treated under the same conditions at different temperatures. The optical properties, pH, true and apparent density, and particle size distribution of the calcined samples were analyzed. The effect of impurities containing iron and titanium on the properties of kaolinite removal and calcination products. The selected kaolin was found to be comparable to clay. Calcination at 1100 ° C produces products with similar optical properties.
