This work describes the separation of alunite from natural alunitic kaolins by applying a selective flocculation procedure. In order to determine the most efficient separating procedure preliminary experiments were performed with artificial mixtures of alunite and kaolin. The same procedure was then applied to natural alunitic kaolin which enabled the preparation of kaolin of considerable purity.
