Zirconium titanium pre-selection enrichment method and steps

Zirconium titanium ore is an important type of titanium ore, which contains abundant titanium resources and is an important industrial raw material. In industrial production, it is necessary to pre concentrate zirconium titanium ore to improve the recovery rate and grade of titanium. This article will introduce the methods and steps for pre selection and enrichment of zirconium and titanium.

1、 A Method for Preconcentration and Enrichment of Zirconium and Titanium

The main methods for preconcentration and enrichment of zirconium and titanium include gravity separation, flotation, and magnetic separation. Among them, the gravity separation method is the most commonly used method, suitable for the enrichment and separation of zirconium titanium ore. The flotation method and magnetic separation method are applicable to specific types of zirconium titanium ore.

1. Reselection method

The gravity separation method is a method of enriching and separating zirconium titanium ore through gravity separation equipment. The gravity separation equipment mainly includes gravity concentrators, spiral concentrators, vibration concentrators, etc. The advantages of gravity separation method are simple operation, low equipment cost, and wide applicability, but it has high requirements for the particle size of the ore.

2. Flotation method

Flotation method is a method of enriching and separating zirconium titanium ore through flotation agents. Flotation agents mainly include xanthate, acetone, Sodium dodecyl sulfate, etc. The advantage of flotation method is that it has low requirements for ore particle size and is suitable for fine-grained ores.

3. Magnetic separation method

Magnetic separation method is a method of enriching and separating zirconium titanium ore through a magnetic concentrator. Magnetic concentrators mainly include wet magnetic separators, dry magnetic separators, etc. The advantage of magnetic separation method is that it has low requirements for the particle size of the ore and is suitable for coarse-grained ores.

II. Steps for Pre selection and Enrichment of Zirconium and Titanium

The steps of pre concentration and enrichment of zirconium and titanium mainly include crushing, grinding, gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation, etc. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Crushing

Crush the zirconium titanium ore to achieve the required particle size. There are two main methods of crushing: dry grinding and wet grinding. Dry grinding is suitable for coarse-grained ores, while wet grinding is suitable for fine-grained ores.

2. Grinding

Grind the crushed zirconium titanium ore to make it more refined. The main methods of grinding ore include ball milling, rod milling, etc.

3. Reselection

The ground zirconium titanium ore is subjected to gravity separation, enrichment, and separation through equipment such as gravity concentrators, spiral concentrators, and vibration concentrators.

4. Flotation

Flotation is carried out on the re selected zirconium titanium ore by adding flotation agents to float it in water, achieving the purpose of enrichment and separation.

5. Magnetic separation

Magnetic separation is carried out on the flotation zirconium titanium ore, which is enriched and separated through a magnetic concentrator.

3、 Summary

Pre concentration of zirconium and titanium is an important method to improve titanium recovery rate and grade. The main methods for preconcentration and enrichment of zirconium and titanium include gravity separation, flotation, and magnetic separation. The steps of pre concentration and enrichment of zirconium and titanium mainly include crushing, grinding, gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation, etc. In practical operation, appropriate methods and steps should be selected based on the properties and requirements of zirconium titanium ore to achieve the best enrichment effect.
