FLOTATION METHOD FOR REMOVING COLORED IMPURITIES FROM KAOLIN CLAY

摘要

An improved method for purifying titania contaminated kaolin clay by froth flotation which features the use an hydroxamate flotation collector at a neutral or mildly alkaline pH wherein a slurry of the impure clay is conditioned for the flotation step in a baffled conditioning apparatus provided with mean for imparting sufficient mechanical energy to heat a dispersed slurry of the impure clay before flotation.
