Kaolin's characterization and potential in the Boycá department

In the Colombian oriental mountain range, central region, there is a mining potential for the extraction of white clays, its majority of sedimentary origin, and the deposits are of lacustrine and co-alluvial type. The kaolin locations are known in: Tunja, Siachoque, Tutasá, Gachantivá and Arcabuco m...

description In the Colombian oriental mountain range, central region, there is a mining potential for the extraction of white clays, its majority of sedimentary origin, and the deposits are of lacustrine and co-alluvial type. The kaolin locations are known in: Tunja, Siachoque, Tutasá, Gachantivá and Arcabuco municipalities. In the last two there are the most important locations by their extension and for being the mining sites that have benn developed during more than for 50 years into the ceramic production. It is stated a methodology to study the clays in all the development phases of a mining project, beginning with the exploration and accomplishing a higth purity mineral.

En  la cordillera Oriental de Colombia, zona centro, se presenta  un  potencial  minero  para  la  extracción  de arcillas  blancas,  en  su  mayoría  depósitos  de  origen sedimentario,  de  tipo  lacustre  y  coluvial.  Se  conocen yacimientos  de  caolín  en  Tunja,  Siachoque,  Tutasá,Gachantivá y Arcabuco, en estos dos últimos municipios están los yacimientos más importantes por su extensión y por la minería que allí se desarrolla hace más de 50 años para  la  fabricación  de  cerámica.  En  este  artículo  se plantea una metodología para el estudio de las arcillas en todas  las  fases  del  desarrollo  de  un  proyecto minero, comenzando  por  la  exploración  y  terminando  por  la obtención de un mineral de alta pureza.
