Abstract In the present study, changes of iron content, brightness, particle size, mineralogy and paramagnetic properties of kaolins before and after superconducting high gradient magnetic separation (SHGMS) were investigated. The Fe 2 O 3 contents of the feed decreased by 56% after 3.5T SHGMS with 1# steel wool, but higher magnetic intensity to 5.5T did not remove additional iron. The ISO ...

All kaolins show a fractal regime in the same nitrogen relative pressure range, with fractal dimension values ranging between 2.38 and 2.57. The correlation between fractal dimension and other kaolin characteristics (structural order of kaolinite, BET surface area, brightness and particle-size distribution) was determined.

a general observation that has been made is that during measurement, the osl signal from quartz tends to decrease rapidly and to a low residual level ( smith and rhodes, 1994; bailey et al., 1997 ), while for feldspars the initial decrease in signal is slower and a significant 'tail' is observed even after prolonged optical stimulation ( bailiff .

The image is comprised of components (minerals) that should have the same intensity response. For example, the abundant 'mid-grey' component (plagioclase) should have a fixed grey-level across the entire image. It doesn't. By masking the other components of the image and adjusting the contrast, the gradations in brightness become more obvious:

Quartz, for example, may be clear, white, gray, brown, yellow, pink, red, or orange. So color can help, but do not rely on color as the determining property. Figure 3 shows one sample of quartz that is colorless and another quartz that is purple. A tiny amount of iron makes the quartz purple. Many minerals are colored by chemical impurities.
