Titanium ore gravity separation method

Titanium ore is an important metal ore widely used in aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, chemical industry, electronics and other fields. However, during the extraction and processing of titanium ore, it is often disturbed by impurities in the ore, which affects the quality and yield of the ore. Therefore, studying the gravity separation method of titanium ore is of great significance for improving the quality and yield of the ore.

1、 Basic Principles of Titanium Ore Gravity Separation Method

The titanium ore gravity separation method mainly uses methods such as gravity separation, magnetic separation, and flotation to separate impurities from titanium ore, thereby improving the quality and yield of titanium ore. Among them, gravity separation is the most commonly used method, which utilizes the different settling rates of minerals with different densities in the ore under the action of gravity to separate impurities from the ore.

2、 Operating steps of titanium ore gravity separation method

1. Crushing and screening of ore

Firstly, the original titanium ore is crushed and screened, and the ore is divided into different particle sizes. Usually, the finer the particle size of the ore, the better the effect of gravity separation.

2. Gravity sorting

Place the ore into a gravity separator and separate minerals of different densities from the ore through the action of gravity. Gravity sorting machines usually use rotary sorting machines, spiral sorting machines, flotation machines, etc.

3. Magnetic separation

For titanium ore containing magnetic minerals, magnetic separation can be used for separation. Magnetic separators usually use high-strength magnetic separators, wet magnetic separators, etc.

4. Flotation

For titanium ore containing non magnetic minerals, flotation can be used for separation. The flotation machine usually adopts air flotation separator, foam flotation machine, etc.

3、 Advantages and disadvantages of titanium ore gravity separation methods

Advantages:

1. It can effectively separate impurities in titanium ore, improve the quality and yield of the ore.

2. Simple operation and low equipment investment cost.

3. It has a wide range of applications and can handle different types of titanium ores.

Disadvantages:

The effect of gravity separation is influenced by factors such as ore particle size and water quality.

The effectiveness of magnetic separation and flotation is influenced by the content and properties of magnetic and non magnetic minerals in the ore.

3. For some impurities that are difficult to separate, the reselection method has poor results.

4、 Conclusion

The gravity separation method of titanium ore is an important means to improve the quality and yield of titanium ore. Impurities in titanium ore can be effectively separated through methods such as gravity separation, magnetic separation, and flotation. In practical applications, it is necessary to select appropriate gravity separation methods based on the properties and process requirements of the ore to achieve the best separation effect.
