Kaolin sand removal process and equipment
November.12,2022
Typical principle process flow of kaolin beneficiation: rough separation adopts spiral classifier and hydrocyclone classification to remove a large amount of coarse sand. Φ42m sedimentation tank, Φ14-20m grading tank and centrifugal classifier are selected for grading, and the particle size distribution is strictly controlled. And according to the quality characteristics of the raw ore of each pit and the product quality requirements, chemical bleaching, high gradient magnetic separation or stripping operations can be taken respectively to obtain different grades of products.
