Abstract
High gradient magnetic separation has proved to be a successful method for removing micron size colouring bodies from china clays. Clays from Chotanagpur, Bihar have been beneficiated to improve its brightness. The effect of field, flow rate and dispersing agents has been studied on both the run of mine (rom) clay and the washed clay. Significant improvement in the brightness of clay has been obtained.
