Agenda

Micronisation of high purity quartz

8

Definition:

- High Purity Quartz (HPQ)

- Ultra High Purity Quartz

- Official definition is not fixed

- range from 99.30 % to 99.9992 % SiO2

- standard SiO2 products hardly reach 99.50 %

9

Applications of HPQ:

- semiconductors

- high temperature lamp tubes

- telecommunication

- optics

- microelectronics

- Solar silicon applications

The market for really ultra high purity silica with

contamination levels < 30 ppm is relatively small

and according to IM Magazine report from

Jan 2012 a maximum of 100.000 tpa

10

Processing of High Purity Quartz/Silica

Avoid contamination as far as possible during processing

• Autogen grinding

• Jet milling

• Benefication processes

11

Impurities are ranging from 10 to 7000 ppm

Depending of the application one has to look

which impurities come into the product by

processing and how much is already in the

feed

Impurities

12

What impurities are added during processing?

- Fe203

- Al2O3

- SiO2

- TiO2

- ZrO2

13

What impurities are added during processing?

- Fe203 any increase is a no go

- Al2O3

- SiO2

- TiO2

- ZrO2

14

What impurities are added during processing?

- Fe203 any increase is a no go

- Al2O3

- SiO2

- TiO2

- ZrO2

In sum a contamination of maximum 300 ppm

is possible today

Plant Examples:

800/3 AFG

• Feed material: 97 % < 100 µm

• Fineness: d97 = 10 µm

• Capacity: approx. 400 kg/h

400/4 AFG

• Feed material: 97 % < 100 µm

• Fineness: d97 = 7 µm

• Capacity: approx. 20 kg/h .

Agenda

Micronisation of zircon opacifier

22

Definition: zircon opacifier

Origine from purified zricon sand (ZrSi04) used direct as

glaze opazifier in the white ceramic ware at a fineness

of typically 100 % < 6 µm and a average particle size of

0,8 – 1,2 µm

Optimized parameters at dry running ball mills

For ultrafine micronisation of hard minerals

26

Processing paramters of dry running ball mills

• ball mill revolution /r.p.m.)

• L/D ratio of the ball mill drum

• selections of grinding media

• sizing of the grinding media

• number of grinding chambers

• selection of mill lining

• mill discharge system (airswept, overflow, slotwall, etc)

• ball mill filling level

27

28

Preconditions for processing of ultra fine hard

industrial minerals at a fineness of < d50 = 0,8 –

3,0 µm in closed ball mill - / classifying circuits

• optimized ball mill parameters

• economical ultra fine wear protected classifiers

• use of grinding aid

Advantages of narrow PSD

Ceramic Body:

• wide sinter intervals

• thinner bodies

• less scrap (deformation)

Ceramic Glaze:

• less fines ⇒⇒⇒⇒ less cohesion & adhesion

• even pigment and glaze distribution

• smooth surface

Production of steep PSD:

- very steep PSD within the limits of:

99 % < 90 µm and 35 % < 45 µm

Requires: - high yield of above fraction > 50 % !!!

- processing know how of micronisation

in ball mill separator loops

- high efficient air separators

- contamination poor processing machines
