Gravity separation test of zirconium titanium tailings

Zirconium titanium tailings are a mineral resource that contains a large amount of zirconium and titanium elements. In modern industry, zirconium and titanium are very important metal materials, widely used in various fields, such as aerospace, shipbuilding, chemical industry, medical equipment, etc. Therefore, the mining and utilization of zirconium titanium tailings are of great significance. However, zirconium and titanium elements in zirconium titanium tailings are often mixed with other mineral elements, making it difficult to effectively separate and extract them. To address this issue, researchers conducted gravity separation experiments on zirconium titanium tailings.

1、 Test purpose

The main purpose of the zirconium titanium tailings gravity separation experiment is to study the physical and chemical properties of zirconium titanium tailings, as well as the influence of different beneficiation processes on the separation effect and extraction rate of zirconium titanium tailings. The experimental results can provide scientific basis for the mining and utilization of zirconium titanium tailings.

2、 Test method

1. Sample preparation

Firstly, a certain amount of zirconium titanium tailings samples need to be collected from the mining site and sent to the laboratory for analysis and testing. Then, the sample is subjected to crushing, screening, and other processing to prepare a sample that meets the test requirements.

2. Test equipment

The gravity separation test of zirconium titanium tailings requires the use of some special equipment, such as gravity concentrators, magnetic separators, flotation machines, etc. These equipment can be combined and used according to different beneficiation processes to achieve the best separation effect and extraction rate.

3. Test steps

The steps for the gravity separation test of zirconium titanium tailings are as follows:

(1) Conduct physical and chemical property tests on the sample to determine its composition and properties.

(2) Based on the test results, select appropriate beneficiation processes and equipment for testing.

(3) Monitor and adjust various parameters during the experiment to ensure the stability and accuracy of the experiment.

(4) Based on the experimental results, optimize and improve the beneficiation process and equipment to improve separation efficiency and extraction rate.

3、 Test results

The results of the 2 zirconium titanium tailings gravity separation experiment indicate that different beneficiation processes and equipment have different effects on the separation efficiency and extraction rate of zirconium titanium tailings. Among them, the combination of gravity concentrator and magnetic separator can effectively separate zirconium and titanium elements, and the extraction rate can reach over 90%. The flotation machine can further improve the extraction rate, but the improvement in separation effect is not significant.

4、 Conclusion

The results of the gravity separation experiment of zirconium titanium tailings indicate that the selection of beneficiation process and equipment has a very important impact on the separation effect and extraction rate of zirconium titanium tailings. In actual production, appropriate beneficiation processes and equipment should be selected based on different ore properties and beneficiation requirements to improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of zirconium titanium tailings.
