haracterization and beneficiation of semnan kaolin

Kaolin dust concentrations and pneumoconiosis at a kaolin mine.

Kaolin is removed from underground seams in the mining area to a processing area, where it is sliced, dried, and pulverised to make the finished product. A study was undertaken to determine the dust concentrations in various work areas and to assess the prevalence of radiographic and pulmonary function abnormalities in 65 workers at a Georgia kaolin mine. Respirable dust concentrations were hig...

Nanoscale particles in technological processes of beneficiation

BACKGROUND Cavitation is a rather common and important effect in the processes of destruction of nano- and microscale particles in natural and technological processes. A possible cavitation disintegration of polymineral nano- and microparticles, which are placed into a liquid, as a result of the interaction of the particles with collapsed cavitation bubbles is considered. The emphasis is put on...

Pneumoconiosis of kaolin workers.

Adsorption of 2-picoline and 3-Amino-2-picoline onto Kaolin and Organo-modified Kaolin

The adsorption of 2-picoline (PC) and 3-Amino-2-picoline (APC) onto kaolin and organomodified kaolin was investigated. Tetraethylamoniumiodide (TEAI) was used as modification reagent. The sorbent was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM and BET methods. The influence of various parameters like contact time, PH, adsorbent dose and initial concentration of PC and APC was studied. The adsorption kineti...

Determination and characterization of metronidazole-kaolin interaction.

The needs for safe, therapeutically effective antidiarrheal combination continuously lead to effective treatment. When administered simultaneously, metronidazole-kaolin interactions have been reported by FDA but not studied. This paper is the first to study metronidazole-kaolin interactions. Adsorption isotherms of a metronidazole-kaolin antidiarrheal combination from aqueous solutions at an in...

Mineralogical Characterization and Beneficiation Studies of Pyrophyllite from Orissa, India

Mineralogical and chemical analyses of three textural varieties of pyrophyllite samples collected from Baliadihi mine of Keonjhar district, Orissa, India are investigated. Mineralogically they consist of quartz, pyrophyllite, altered feldspar as major minerals and muscovite, chlorite, tourmaline, hematite etc. as minor minerals. The samples exhibit compositional variation of SiO2 65.56 71.66%, ...
