Kaolin

Kaolin clay, also known as white clay or china clay, is a soft mineral primarily composed of kaolinite. It is commonly found in nature due to the weathering of aluminum silicate minerals such as feldspar .

Kaolin clay is a fine and powdery substance with a smooth texture. It is usually white or off-white, although it can be found in shades of pink, yellow, or grey, depending on the impurities in the deposit.

Kaolin is a clay mineral commonly used in various industrial applications, such as paper manufacturing, ceramics, rubber, plastics, paint, and cosmetics. The processing of kaolin involves several steps such as mining , Blunging , Degritting , Magnetic separation , Froth flotation , Drying , Calcination ,Particle size classification and finally packaging .

Overall, kaolin processing involves a series of steps to extract, refine, and prepare the mineral for its intended applications. These processes help to ensure that the kaolin meets the desired specifications and quality standards
