The Effect of Beneficiation on Some Properties of Osun State Ceramic Raw Materials

“…Beneficiation reduced calcium (Ca) content from 1.6188% to 1.4020% and its oxide (CaO) from 1.2028% to 1.0075%, whereas, it increased the content of potassium from 5.2372 to 7.3946% and its oxide from 3.3500 to 4.5743%. The observation with calcium and its https://journals.agh.edu.pl/jcme oxide is in conformity with the claim of Salahudeen et al [8] but negates her conclusions concerning potassium (K) and its oxide (K 2 O). This could be as a result of the dilute hydrochloric acid used in this study compared to the oxalic acid used by Salahudeen et al [8].…”

“…Beneficiation is an upgrading process that helps to remove impurities and achieves a required particle size and size distribution so as to make material fit for final applications [7][8][9]. The beneficiation methods of ceramic materials depend on the amount and nature of the mineral's associated impurities as well as the requirements of the user.…”

“…The pore size and the pore volume were determined to be 31.02 Å and 0.089 cm 3 • g −1 , respectively. These properties are relatively high compared to 25.57 Å and 0.055 cm 3 • g −1 reported for the pore size and the pore volume of Kankara kaolin [15,30]. For effective and efficient leaching process, the surface area, pore size, and pore volume are important parameters.…”
