The most effective way to remove both kaolinite and goethite is by washing, followed by attrition scrubbing and desliming through removal of clay-rich super fines in hydro-cyclone. Processing of bauxite for smelter grade alumina is quite sensitive to bauxite recovery and total cost for processing of ore, particularly in wet beneficiation.
The searching for cost effective, environmental friendly and sustainable starting material required for production of zeolite leads to the study on modification of kaolinite minerals for zeolite production as profound by Youssef et al.

The simplest method of beneficiation is washing the finely dispersed clay fraction, which gives the best results when processing low-quality gibbsite-kaolinite bauxites [8]. These are characterized by the presence of two groups of bauxite rocks, contrasting in quality and physical and mechanical properties. In this case, the …

According to the classification of Pontual et al. (Citation 1997), the kaolinite at 500°C is a very highly crystalline kaolinite, at 700°C has degraded to a poorly crystalline kaolinite, and at 800°C is a very poorly crystalline kaolinite. The scatter plot reveals that dehydroxylation is rather a linear process, even though between 700°C ...

Strictly defined, the name kaolin is applied to a group of hydrous aluminum silicates of which the mineral kaolinite is the most common. Kaolinite has such desirable properties as natural whiteness, chemical stability, non-abrasiveness, and very fine particle size. Kaolinite particles are characteristically thin, flat, and hexagonal in outline.
