Abstract:There were some disadvantages found in the magnetic separator on processing kaolin, such as in efficiency on removing ferrous, lower capacity, easy to be plugged. In this paper, a novel type magnetic separator with high strength and uniformly distributed magnetic field,unique combined magnetic medium,high pressure water and gas for washing, named ZQS-X-1000 was developed. The industrial experiments showed that the novel separator has a good performance of large capacity, high production efficiency, high quality of products, long-term operation stability. A kaolin raw ore with 0.55% Fe2O3 and 75.2% calcination whiteness in Fujian province was magnetic separated by the novel equipment. Under the pulp conditions of 17.5% pulp density, 0.4% sodium hexameta phosphate concentration and 25 m3/h pulp feed capacity, high quality kaolin products with 0.29% Fe2O3 and 88.7% calcination whiteness was obtained through only one time separation.
