Abstract
The removal of titanium minerals from kaolin can be accomplished by treatment with dispersing agents in an amount in excess of that required to produce maximum deflocculation of the kaolinite particles. In this reflocculated state the kaolinite particles attain a high degree of suspensional stability, and the titanium mineral particles, primarily anatase, are liberated and can be separated by sedimentation. Substantial removal of anatase impurities can be achieved by this method.Keywords
