Technological process for selecting titanium zirconium ore

Titanium zirconium ore is an important metal ore mainly used for manufacturing high-end materials such as titanium alloys and zirconium alloys. The beneficiation process of titanium zirconium ore involves multiple sorting and separation of the raw ore, ultimately obtaining high-quality titanium zirconium ore concentrate. This article will introduce the process flow and operating steps of selecting titanium zirconium ore.

1、 Process flow of selecting titanium zirconium ore

1. Ore crushing

Firstly, the raw ore is crushed into small pieces by a crusher. The crushed ore can be better used for subsequent sorting and separation.

2. Ore grinding

Next, grind the crushed ore. Grinding can make the ore finer and facilitate subsequent sorting and separation.

3. Reselection

Perform gravity separation on the ground ore. The purpose of re selection is to separate minerals of different densities. Usually, a heavy medium separation method is used, which involves placing the ore into a heavy medium and separating it according to the different densities of minerals at different rates of flotation and sedimentation in the heavy medium.

4. Magnetic separation

Perform magnetic separation on the re sorted ore. The purpose of magnetic separation is to separate magnetic minerals from ores. Magnetic separation usually uses wet magnetic separation method, which involves placing the ore into water and using magnetic force to separate the magnetic minerals.

5. Flotation

Flotation of magnetically separated ore. The purpose of flotation is to separate non magnetic minerals from the ore. Flotation usually uses air flotation, which involves placing the ore into bubbles and separating non magnetic minerals using the buoyancy of the bubbles.

6. Selection

Clean the ore after flotation. The purpose of selection is to separate impurities from low-grade minerals in the ore and obtain high-grade titanium zirconium ore concentrate. The selection usually adopts a combination of heavy medium separation method and magnetic separation method.

2、 Operation steps for selecting titanium zirconium ore

1. Check the equipment

Before proceeding with the technological process of titanium zirconium ore dressing, it is necessary to check whether the equipment operates normally, especially the crusher, mill, heavy medium separator, magnetic separator, flotation machine and concentrator.

2. Ore crushing

Put the raw ore into a crusher for crushing. The crushed ore should meet the requirements of the subsequent process flow.

3. Ore grinding

Put the crushed ore into a grinding machine for grinding. The ore after grinding should reach a certain fineness, which is convenient for subsequent sorting and separation.

4. Reselection

Place the ground ore into a heavy medium separator for gravity separation. Separate the minerals based on their density.

5. Magnetic separation

Place the re sorted ore into a magnetic separator for magnetic separation. The ore after magnetic separation should remove magnetic minerals from the ore.

6. Flotation

Place the magnetically separated ore into a flotation machine for flotation. The ore after flotation should remove non magnetic minerals from the ore.

7. Selection

Place the flotation ore into the separator for cleaning. The selected ore should remove impurities and low-grade minerals from the ore to obtain high-grade titanium zirconium ore concentrate.

3、 Precautions for selecting titanium zirconium ore

1. Equipment maintenance

The equipment for selecting titanium zirconium ore requires frequent maintenance, especially equipment such as crushers, grinders, heavy media separators, magnetic separators, flotation machines, and cleaning machines.

2. Operating specifications

The operation of selecting titanium zirconium ore needs to be standardized, especially in the processes of heavy medium separation, magnetic separation, flotation, and selection. It is necessary to control the operating parameters well to ensure the beneficiation effect.

3. Safety precautions

The operation of selecting titanium zirconium ore needs to pay attention to safety, especially in the processes of ore crushing, grinding, and flotation. It is necessary to wear protective equipment to ensure personnel safety.

4、 Summary

The process of selecting titanium zirconium ore is a complex process that requires multiple selections and separations.
