Abstract
This study deals with the refinement of Hwasun flint clay by grinding, classifying, magnetic separation and acid treatment in sequence. Results are as follows ; 1. Fine kaolinite particles of median size in the range of 4.8 and 1.7$\mu\textrm{m}$ was collected, with the yield of 87.4% by dry grinding and classifying process. 2. It is proven that the iron bearing are of Hwasun flint clay is mainly consisted of chloritoid and iron rich muscovite. 3. As the results of the high gradient magnetic separation, the bleaching and iron removal degree of the dry grinding and classifying sample was 4-58% and 5-62% respectively. 4. As the results of the acid treatment, bleaching and weight loss degree of the dry grinding and classifying sample was reduced to 16-82% and 6-29% respectively.
