Purification of brazilian kaolin clay by flotation
A kaolin clay from northern Brazil was beneficiated by flotation using an alkylhydroxamate (R6973) as collector. Unlike tall oil fatty acids, this collector does not require activators (divalent cations) for adsorption. Approximately 90% of the particles in the clay sample were finer than 2 μm; therefore, it was a challenge to remove colored ...
