Possibilities of enhancement of kaolin whiteness
Krahulová, Veronika ; Bartoníčková, Eva (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis focuses on problematics of increasing the kaolin whiteness index. The aim of the thesis is to verify possibilities and efficiency of the mechanical method of increasing whiteness of kaolin using sand of a defined fraction. This method cannot be considered as a whitening operation of kaolin but as a pre-treatment of the raw material or as one of the steps in increasing the whiteness. There have been tested diverse proportions of added sand with which the batch of kaolin material was intensively mixed for various times. Moreover, there has been tested influence of water and total batch volume. To characterize prepared samples there have been used several methods; XRF and XRD analysis was used to determine the elemental and phase composition of raw kaolin before and after mechanical sand action. The UV - VIS method with reflectance was used to assess the achieved whiteness.
