Ceramic – Glass
Raw materials for Glass Manufacturing:
- Contaminant Removal Process: Froth Floatation process can be followed for removing mineral contaminants in acidic conditions. In froth floatation process a cationic collector is used for removing mineral contaminants like feldspar and anionic collectors for removing mineral contaminants like iron or iron coated grains.
- Classification: After removal of contaminants, the sand has to classified to separate the grains into finely and coarse particles. Hydro Cyclones, screw classifiers or screens can be used for this separation process.
- De-watering: After the classification, the sand has to go through a de-watering process to remove the water content. Generally Hydro Cyclones or Dewatering screens are used in this step.
