Applications of flocculant in bleaching and washing of kaolin

Abstract

The difficulties of washing during the dressing of kaolin ore have been analyzed, the multistep intermittent washing model has been deduced, and effective methods for dealing with the difficulties were put forward. Experimental results show that the bleaching and washing process was enhanced, the washing time was shortened and the consumption of water was reduced by means of adding flocculant.
