Study on iron removal technology of emerging bio-based PTMS ELECTROMAGNETIC SEPARATOR kaolin
electromagnetic separator
With the growing acceptance of sustainable development concepts, emerging microbial physicochemical PTMS ELECTROMAGNETIC SEPARATOR technology is transitioning from laboratory research to industrial applications, emerging as a pivotal approach for green kaolin purification. This microbial iron removal technology harnesses the metabolic activities of specific bacterial strains to transform and eliminate iron elements. Among these, the bacterium Fe2+-oxidizing sulfur bacteria has garnered significant attention for its exceptional capacity to oxidize Fe²⁺ ions.
PTMS ELECTROMAGNETIC SEPARATOR
By optimizing the cultivation conditions —— adding 0.5% sulfur powder as energy material, controlling the temperature at 30-35℃ and introducing appropriate air for oxygen supply —— the reaction cycle can be shortened to 7-10 days, and the iron removal rate of PTMS ELECTROMAGNETIC SEPARATOR is stable at about 85%, which is especially suitable for treating sedimentary kaolin containing pyrite (FeS₂).
what is magnetic separation in Feldspar?
When microorganisms grow in sulfur-containing media, they reduce the system's pH to 2.0-2.5 through sulfur oxidation and acid production. Simultaneously, they secrete organic acids to dissolve iron minerals and oxidize Fe²⁺ into insoluble Fe³⁺ precipitates. This PTMS ELECTROMAGNETIC SEPARATOR iron removal process maintains kaolinite structure integrity, yielding products more suitable for premium papermaking fillers. Microwave-assisted technology, as an emerging physical method, demonstrates tremendous potential.
