KAOLIN DEPOSITS IN NIGERIA ; THE OPPORTUNITIES
For a nation that wants to grow, it must look inwards to identify areas where it has comparative advantage over other nations and effort should be geared towards the development of the identified areas.
Apart from crude potentials of Nigeria, Nigeria also has comparative advantage in the solid minerals sector owning to the large deposits of minerals scattered in the different parts of the country and if the nation is to achieve vision 2020, more efforts should be geared towards the development of the solid minerals sector of the Nigerian economy.
Kaolin is one of the industrial minerals that can be found in commercial quantity. In fact, Nigeria has an estimated reserve of about two {2} billion metric tones of kaolin deposit scattered in different parts of the country to include ogun, edo, plateau and Nassarrawa states.
The market for kaolin is large, sustainable and expanding because of the numerous applications of the product. Also there is an outright ban on the importation of kaolin into the country in order to stimulate the growth of the local industry.
Kaolin can be supplied in raw or processed form depending on the requirement of the buyer. There is market for the raw and processed kaolin in Nigeria and abroad but I would dwell on the processed one for the supply in the local market.
Kaolin processing is of two types, the wet and dry process. The wet process is used when the silica content and impurities in the raw kaolin is high and usually the end product is high grade kaolin used in the pharmaceutical industry. The dry process involves the drying, crushing, sifting and bagging of the raw kaolin and it is usually employed for raw kaolin with less silica and impurity content.
There are no standard methods of processing for the treatment of different types of kaolin. Primarily the processing priority and the choice of suitable machines and equipment depend on the mineralogical spectrum of the crude kaolin and on the demands concerning the quality of the end products. The essential influencing factors which do not only determine the quality of the products but also the effort which should go into the technical processing are as follows:
- Type, %-proportion and particle size distribution of the clay minerals
- Type and %-proportion of silicate, oxidic and sulphide ‘’impurities’’
- Electrochemical surface phenomena of clay minerals
- Technological demands on the quality of the end products.
The effects of each of the factors overlap and have either a strengthening or weakening effect of specific quality characteristics. Therefore each factor can only be determined to a certain extent when assessing the attainable end qualities. These factors provide little information for the lay-out of a suitable process.
