The kaolin coagulation or flocculation method mainly removes iron and titanium impurities in kaolin. The pulp concentration must be lower than 20%, so a large amount of water needs to be released in the subsequent process. Kaolin is wide application but often contains iron impurities that detract from its effectiveness.

Main resource of zirconia is the mineral zircon which occurs in beach sand and placer deposits. Alkali fusion and thermal plasma dissociation are the frequently adopted procedures to convert zircon to zirconia. Synthesis of different zirconia phases (monoclinic, cubic, and tetragonal) can be accomplished by the precise control of …
Sand purity is another issue: Low melting and fine impurities create problems. The type of sand, its morphology, and grain-size distribution influence compaction and the number of voids in the molded sand substrate. A broad distribution usually generates fewer voids than a narrow distribution. ... The refractories are usually zircon-silicate ...
However, natural zircon sand contains several unwanted impurities. In order to obtain a zircon powder from natural sand, a complex process is required.
