Study on the Kaolin Fine Tailings Refined Bleached Process
Kaolin is a mineral composition of water cut aluminum silicate collection of words, used widely. But since most kaolin contain quality score 0.5% ~ 3% of iron oxide or hydrogen ferric oxide, restricted its use. With reduction and complexation method to kaolin bleach, which can effectively reduce the content of iron in the clay. The low pH in with organic acid(citric acid, acid, oxalic acid, also sugar) refined bleached high content of coal kaolin ferric oxide. The results show that, citric acid and also the sugar acid in iron effect is poor, does not meet the industrialized production, oxalic acid can remove kaolin can dip in iron, when pH lower than 1.2, the temperature of 80 °C on the bleaching, white degree of more than 80%, to adapt to the industrial application of coal kaolin basic conditions. At the same time, because of the difference of shading minerals, different sources of kaolin bleaching and the white degree stability condition is different, the actual production of should according to the specific of the sources, after the test to be sure.
