ABSTRACT The Dorr bowl classifier is described in detail and its use in purifying clay iscon‐ sidered. The methods of purifying a North Carolina kaolin by (1) aaettling flume and (2) a Dorr bowl classifier are compared. The advantages of the bowl classifier over the settling flume are (1) less labor required, (2) greater recovery of clay, (3) increased purity and greater uniformity of clay. The classifier is also applicable to the purification of secondary kaolins.
