Abstract:

Processing of Langkawi black sand for the recovery of metals had been carried out in this study. The samples were characterized after sieve analysis. Magnetic separator is used to separate between magnetic and non-magnetic portion of blank sand. XRF and FTIR were used to know the metal content in black sand. Before magnetic separation black sand contain about 43.2 wt% SiO2, Al2O3 with 21.1 wt% and Fe2O3 with 17.2 wt% and 12.0% TiO2.
