PRODUCTION OF CALCINED TINCAL FROM RUN-OF-MINE TINCAL

16764

In this study there have been a main purpose to product calcine tincal which is a new product. Tincal ore produced in Kırka Boron Works of Eti Mine Works General Management is used in borax pentahydrate production in the same plant and in borax pentahydrate, decahydrate and sodium perborate production in Bandırma Boron and Acid Plants. In this study, it was aimed to produce calcined tincal from tincal ore. Calcination was performed in laboratory type furnaces between 100-500°C and calcined tincal was produced. The particle size of the calcined product was reduced by a grinding mill and then calcined tincal was separated from the clay by air classifier. As a result, depending on the working conditions calcined tincal containing between 10-15% of clay was obtained with a yield of around 80%.
