What kind of ore is potassium feldspar? Potassium feldspar, also called orthoclase, is usually gray white. As the name implies, potassium feldspar contains more potassium elements, and the potassium oxide content accounts for about 11%. The extracted potassium element can be used to make potassium fertilizer. After grinding, potassium feldspar can be used in industrial sectors such as ceramic billets, ceramic glazes, glass, electric porcelain, abrasive materials and potash fertilizer production.
Natural potassium feldspar contains many impurities, so it needs to be further purified during further use. The purification process of potassium feldspar is very complex, which involves the following steps: raw material first selection, crushing, grinding, screening, dehydration and finished product. Crushing and grinding process is the key to the whole process. Jaw crusher or cone crusher can be used in the crushing process of potassium feldspar, which mainly depends on how fine the user wants to crush.
Generally, the size of ore crushed by jaw crusher is larger, while the size of ore crushed by cone crusher is smaller. Generally, if there is a grinding process in the later stage, it is better to use cone crusher. After the potassium feldspar is crushed into small particles, the materials are transported to the mill by the conveying equipment for fine grinding. There are many kinds of grinders, and Raymond mill and ultra-fine mill are commonly used. The major difference between the two is that the fineness of stone powder produced is different. The coarse powder less than 300 mesh is better to use Raymond mill, and the fine powder more than 300 mesh is better to use ultra-fine mill. Users can freely choose according to their actual needs.
