Factors affecting the preparation of misted clay feed and solids-liquid separation after HC leaching. Report of investigations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5505527
Although aluminum is easily leached from calcined clay with boiling mineral acids, the presence of fines and slimes in the leached residue has hindered the application of acid leaching processes. A feed preparation method was, therefore, devised that provided a dense, smooth-surfaced, fine-grained clay.
