The invention discloses a process for whitening calcined black
talc. Black
talc ore is taken as a
raw material and is sequentially subjected to mineral separation, crushing,
grinding, calcining in a
rotary kiln and cooling by a cooling
machine, and then granular and blocky calcined black
talc products with whiteness of more than or equal to 90 are obtained, wherein the temperature of a burning zone in the calcining procedure in the
rotary kiln is 800-1400 DEG C, and the standing time of the
raw material in the
kiln is 30-90 min. The invention also discloses a device adopting the method. According to the process and the device, a preheater
system is adopted for preheating, and a rotary kin calcining process is adopted, so that the calcining time is greatly shortened, and the production capacity is remarkably improved;
combustion and heat release of organic matters in black talc are fully considered; the production cost is lowered due to no addition of a whitening agent; dry-method
grinding is adopted, and the process is advanced; compared with a process that the black talc is calcined by an annular
kiln, the process disclosed by the invention has the advantages that emitted
waste gas can be treated to reach the national environmental requirement, the
automation degree is high, and parameters are measureable and controllable.
