Clay powder processing

In pottery, the binder is often water that is present in sufficient quantity to make the clay easily shaped with the shape being retained during firing. The idea is that we then add a plasticizer to optimize the rheology of the material. Note that these processes are not exclusive to ceramics but are general to powder processing. The distinction between binder and plasticizer is sometimes not too clear. [Pg.413]

Two classes of grinding equipment are used to prepare dispersions. The first, the coUoid mill, does not effect a particle size reduction but does break down aggregates of fine particles. CoUoid mills are used for such powders as clays, precipitated whiting, etc. Sometimes these mills are used to process zinc oxide but for dipped mbber products that is not satisfactory. [Pg.257]

Sodium Tetrahydroborate, Na[BH ]. This air-stable white powder, commonly referred to as sodium borohydride, is the most widely commercialized boron hydride material. It is used in a variety of industrial processes including bleaching of paper pulp and clays, preparation and purification of organic chemicals and pharmaceuticals, textile dye reduction, recovery of valuable metals, wastewater treatment, and production of dithionite compounds. Sodium borohydride is produced in the United States by Morton International, Inc., the Alfa Division of Johnson Matthey, Inc., and Covan Limited, with Morton International supplying about 75% of market. More than six million pounds of this material suppHed as powder, pellets, and aqueous solution, were produced in 1990. [Pg.253]

Beneficiation (2,11,12,21—27) iavolves a process or series of processes whereby the chemical and/or physical properties and characteristics of raw materials are modified to render the raw material more processible. The extent of beneficiation is determined by a combination of the starting raw materials, the processiag scheme, the desired properties of the product, and economics. Powder cost iacreases with iacreased beneficiation consequently, low value-added clay raw materials used to produce iaexpensive stmctural clay products typically undergo a minimum of beneficiation, whereas higher value-added alumina powders undergo more extensive beneficiation. [Pg.306]

Bentonite is the name for a hydrous aluminum silicate comprised principally of the clay mineral montmorillonite, notable for its ability to swell in water and to form a very low-permeability seal." It is available as powder, granule (chip), or pellets. Powder and granule sizes are produced by processing after mining. Bentonite powder... [Pg.795]

The first cracking catalysts were acid-leached montmorillonite clays. The acid leach was to remove various metal impurities, principally iron, copper, and nickel, that could exert adverse effects on the cracking performance of a catalyst. The catalysts were first used in fixed- and moving-bed reactor systems in the form of shaped pellets. Later, with the development of the fluid catalytic cracking process, clay catalysts were made in the form of a ground, sized powder. Clay catalysts are relatively inexpensive and have been used extensively for many years. [Pg.83]
