The production process of high-quality albite in China

November 26 , 2024

As a magical mineral, albite has become one of the indispensable raw materials for modern industry with its abundant reserves, unique physical and chemical properties, and wide application fields. This article will take you to explore the production process of albite powder and its specific applications in many fields.

Production process

The production of albite powder is a complex and delicate process, which mainly includes the following key steps:

  • Ore mining and crushing:

The albite ore is mined from the mining area and initially crushed by crushing equipment (such as jaw crusher, cone crusher, etc.) to crush the large pieces of ore into suitable particle sizes.

  • Ore dressing and purification:

The crushed albite enters the ore dressing equipment, and through screening, magnetic separation, flotation and other processes, the useful minerals and impurities are effectively separated to improve the grade and purity of the ore.

If needed, further purification treatment can be carried out to obtain albite with higher purity.

  • Grinding and classification:

The albite after ore dressing enters the grinding equipment (such as ball mill, grinder, etc.), and is finely ground into the required powder size through the grinding process.

The ground albite powder needs to be graded to obtain the particle size distribution that meets the requirements of different industries.

  • Drying and packaging:

The ground albite powder needs to be dried to reduce its water content and improve the stability and quality of the product.

After cooling, screening and other processes, the dried albite powder is packaged and stored for transportation and use.

Specific applications of albite powder in various industries

  • Glass industry:

albite powder is one of the important raw materials for glass products, used to provide the molding, transparency and stability of glass products.

In the glass production process, albite can adjust the melting point and viscosity of glass, affecting the physical properties and appearance quality of glass.

albite powder can also reduce the melting temperature of glass, save energy and reduce costs.

  • Ceramic industry:

albite powder is mainly used as a raw material for ceramic blanks and glazes in the ceramic industry.

It can enhance the strength of the blank and improve the performance of the blank, such as adjusting the thermal expansion coefficient and firing temperature, and reducing deformation and cracking.

albite powder can also improve the gloss and hardness of the glaze, and improve the color and wear resistance of the glaze.

  • Refractory industry:

albite powder is often used as a flux and filler in refractory materials.

It can increase the melting property, promote sintering, and improve the temperature resistance and fire resistance of refractory materials.

albite powder can also be used to produce refractory coatings to improve the high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of coatings.

  • Plastic industry:

In the resin plastic industry, albite powder, as a high-quality, high-purity mineral additive, plays an irreplaceable role in material modification with its unique physical and chemical properties.

It can enhance the mechanical strength and rigidity of modified resin plastics, and improve wear resistance and weather resistance.

albite powder can also improve the processing performance of resin plastics, such as improving melt fluidity and reducing processing temperature.

Henan Ankai New Materials Co., Ltd. has its own albite ore and uses advanced mining and processing technologies to ensure the sustainable use of resources, contributing to the sustainable development of the mining industry in my country and even the world.
