OPPORTUNITIES IN TALC BEATIFICATION IN NIGERIA; INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN NIGERIA.

Talc, which is a soft, hydrous magnesium silicate (3Mg04Si02H20), is used in a wide range of industries including the manufacture of ceramics, paints, paper, and asphalt roofing. The end-uses for talc are determined by variables such as chemical and mineralogical composition, particle size and shape, specific gravity, hardness, and color.

An estimated reserve of over 100 million tonnes of talc has been obtained in Niger, Osun, Kogi, Kwara, Ogun, Taraba and Kaduna States.The colour of the Nigerian talc varies from white through milky-white to grey.

Talc has various industrial applications. The paint, cosmetics,fertilizer,pharmaceutical and ceramic industries are the most dominant users of talc. It is also used as lubricants in leather making, laboratory table tops, switch boards, toilet powder and for removing grease from cloth.

Beneficiation is a variety of processes whereby extracted ore from mining is separated into mineral and gangue, the former suitable for further processing or direct use.

Talc beneficiation usually uses hand picking, photoelectric picking, electrostatic dressing, flotation, dry or wet magnetic separation, dry grinding air,dry and wet grinding in mineral beneficiation, process crusher dry and wet grinding in mineral beneficiation.

Talc enjoys a ready made market in Nigeria. In spite of the high national demand which is over 70,000 tonnes per annum, there are a few talc processing industry in the country producing about 15,000 tonnes per annum.
