Abstract: Mica flakes are disintegrated to mica scales having a diameter of 10 mm or less and a ratio of diameter/thickness of 100-1000 by using an apparatus and a method comprising bringing about coarse size reduction followed by size reduction of the mica flakes by high-pressure jets of water, if desired together with high-pressure jets of gas, separating mica scales from mica flakes by vertical classification followed by horizontal classification, and taking out the mica scales as a slurry while recycling nondisintegrated mica flakes to size reduction. The slurry of mica scales is used for making mica paper.
