Solution for Gravity Separation of Zirconium Titanium Sand

Zirconium titanium sand is an important metal mineral resource mainly used for manufacturing high-tech products in fields such as aerospace, military, and nuclear industries. In the production process of zircon titanium sand, gravity separation is a very important process. It can separate zircon, Ilmenite and other minerals with different densities, thus improving the grade and recovery of zircon titanium sand. This article will introduce an efficient gravity separation solution for zirconium titanium sand.

1、 The principle of gravity separation of zirconium titanium sand

Zirconium titanium sand gravity separation is a physical separation method that utilizes the different settling velocities of minerals with different densities in the gravity field for separation. In a gravity field, minerals with higher density settle faster, while minerals with lower density settle slower. By adjusting the size and direction of the gravity field, the separation of minerals with different densities can be achieved.

2、 The Problems of Traditional Gravity Separation Method for Zirconium Titanium Sand

The traditional gravity separation method for zirconium titanium sand mainly adopts two methods: heavy medium separation and centrifugal separation. Heavy media separation is to separate minerals by using the density difference of heavy media, but this method requires a lot of water and heavy media, resulting in environmental pollution and resource waste. Centrifugal separation is the use of centrifugal force to separate minerals, but this method requires large equipment investment, high operating costs, and is not suitable for use in small and medium-sized mines.

III. Efficient gravity separation solution for zirconium titanium sand

In order to solve the problems of traditional zirconium titanium sand gravity separation methods, we propose a new zirconium titanium sand gravity separation solution, which mainly includes the following steps:

1. Develop efficient gravity sorting equipment

We have developed a new type of gravity separation equipment that utilizes advanced air flotation separation technology, which can improve the mineral separation efficiency to over 90%. Moreover, the equipment investment and operating costs are lower than traditional centrifugal separation equipment.

2. Optimize the size and direction of the gravity field

By optimizing the gravity field, we can achieve the maximum difference in settling velocity of minerals with different densities in the gravity field, thereby achieving better separation results.

3. Optimize the particle size and concentration of minerals

By optimizing the particle size and concentration of minerals, we can make the sedimentation rate of minerals more pronounced in the gravity field, thereby improving separation efficiency.

4. Establish an intelligent sorting control system

We have established an intelligent sorting control system that can achieve real-time monitoring and adjustment of parameters such as gravity field size, direction, mineral particle size and concentration, thereby ensuring the stability and optimization of sorting results.

IV. Conclusion

Through the above steps, our proposed gravity separation solution for zirconium titanium sand can achieve efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly mineral separation, which is of great significance for zirconium titanium sand production enterprises. In the future, we will continue to strengthen technological research and innovation, providing better solutions and services for the zirconium titanium sand production industry.
