Gravity beneficiation technology for seaside zirconium titanium sand ore

Coastal zircon titanium placer is an important mineral resource, whose main components are zircon and Ilmenite. Due to the large difference in density between zircon and Ilmenite, they can be separated by gravity beneficiation technology. This article will introduce the operational steps and precautions of gravity beneficiation technology for seaside zirconium titanium placer ore.

1、 The Principle of Gravity Beneficiation Technology for Seashore Zirconium Titanium Sand Mine

Gravity beneficiation technology is a method of physical separation based on the density difference of minerals. For coastal zircon titanium placer, the density difference between zircon and Ilmenite, the main component, is large, so it can be separated by gravity beneficiation technology. Gravity beneficiation technology mainly includes several methods such as heavy medium method, heavy liquid method, centrifugal method, etc.

2、 Operating Steps of Gravity Beneficiation Technology for Seashore Zirconium Titanium Sand Mine

1. Ore crushing: Crush the collected seaside zirconium titanium sand ore to make its particle size suitable for gravity beneficiation.

2. Ore classification: Classify the crushed ore for subsequent gravity beneficiation operations. Usually, sieving is used for grading.

3. Gravity beneficiation: Place the graded ore into the beneficiation equipment for gravity beneficiation. Mineral processing equipment mainly includes spiral sorting machines, heavy medium sorting machines, centrifugal sorting machines, etc.

4. Mineral processing tailings: During the process of gravity beneficiation, a certain amount of tailings will be generated. For the tailings of seaside zirconium titanium sand mines, methods such as magnetic separation and flotation can be used for treatment.

3、 Precautions for Gravity Beneficiation Technology of Seashore Zirconium Titanium Sand Mine

1. The particle size of the ore should be suitable for the requirements of gravity beneficiation.

2. The selection of beneficiation equipment should be based on the properties of the ore and the requirements of beneficiation.

During the beneficiation process, attention should be paid to adjusting the parameters of the beneficiation equipment to ensure the beneficiation effect.

4. The treatment of tailings should be selected based on their properties.

4、 Summary

The gravity beneficiation technology of seaside zirconium titanium sand ore is a very effective separation method. Zircon and Ilmenite can be effectively separated through ore crushing, classification and gravity beneficiation. In the actual beneficiation process, attention should be paid to the selection of beneficiation equipment and parameter adjustment to ensure the beneficiation effect. At the same time, the treatment of tailings is also a very important step and should be selected based on the properties of the tailings.
