The structure and chemical composition of the kaolin ore were determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and X-ray Fluorescence(XRF) analyses. The narrow particle size range classification, dry magnetic separation and calcination were carried out to evaluate the particle size distribution, and the relation between the content of iron and the whiteness. Experimental results revealed that the highest content of iron(3.70%) in kaolin ore was in the particle size range from 60 to 74 μm, and pyrite was the main occurrence of iron in the kaolin ore. Dry magnetic separation showed that the removal rate of iron in kaolin ore could be increased obviously after calcination, and the rate of iron removal was 60% in the particle size range from 60 to 74 μm. As pyrite can be transformed into hematite through calcination, thermodynamic studies and XRD analysis showed that the maximum content of hematite was obtained at 900 ℃, which would be more beneficial to magnetic separation.展开更多

The experimental results show that the oxidation priority is：（222） plane〉（200） plane〉（200） plane, and there is no direct correlation between the crystal plane index, the atom numbers, and the oxidation priority. However, with more exchanged charge among atoms, the oxidation could be conducted more easily, and the distribution rule of the electric charge conforms with the variation trend of adsorption energy, which will provide more overall cognition on the oxidation mechanism of pyrite from the atomic scale.展开更多
