Binhai Zirconium Titanium Ore Gravity Separation Method

Binhai zirconium titanium ore is an important mineral resource mainly used in the manufacturing of ceramics, electronic materials, aerospace and other high-tech fields. However, the impurity content of coastal zirconium titanium ore is relatively high, and it requires re selection to reach industrial grade. This article will introduce several gravity separation methods for coastal zirconium titanium ore for reference.

1、 Heavy medium selection method

The heavy medium separation method is a traditional method for the heavy separation of coastal zirconium titanium ore, which uses media of different densities to separate the ore. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. Crush the ore into particles within a certain particle size range.

2. Mix the ore with the medium and place it in a gravity concentrator.

3. Through the action of gravity, different densities of ores and media are separated to achieve the purpose of gravity separation.

The advantages of the heavy medium separation method are simple equipment, convenient operation, and suitable for processing large particle ores. However, this method has high requirements for ore particle size and unstable beneficiation results, which are easily affected by factors such as ore composition and medium density.

2、 Flotation method

The flotation method is a commonly used method for the gravity separation of coastal zirconium titanium ore, which utilizes the differences in surface properties of different minerals to separate them under the action of bubbles. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. Crush the ore into particles within a certain particle size range.

2. Immerse the ore in the flotation reagent to cover its surface with the reagent.

3. Spray bubbles into the reagent to combine and float the ore with the bubbles, achieving the purpose of separation.

The advantage of flotation method is that it is suitable for processing fine-grained ores, and the beneficiation effect is stable and the separation efficiency is high. However, the type and dosage of flotation reagents can affect the beneficiation effect, and the equipment is complex and the operational technical requirements are high.

3、 Magnetic separation method

Magnetic separation method is a coastal zirconium titanium ore gravity separation method that utilizes mineral magnetic differences for separation, suitable for processing magnetic minerals. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. Crush the ore into particles within a certain particle size range.

2. Pass the ore through a magnetic field, causing the magnetic mineral to be magnetically adsorbed on the magnetic wheel.

3. Discharge non magnetic minerals from the magnetic wheel to achieve separation.

The advantages of magnetic separation method are stable beneficiation effect, high separation efficiency, simple equipment, and convenient operation. However, this method is only applicable to handling magnetic minerals.

In summary, there are various methods for the gravity separation of coastal zirconium titanium ore, and the selection of an appropriate method should be comprehensively considered based on the composition, particle size, magnetic properties, and other characteristics of the ore. At the same time, attention should be paid to protecting the environment, saving resources, and achieving sustainable development during the operation process.
