Tungsten tailings selection technology

Tungsten tailings selection technology

Tungsten is a very important metal element, widely used in aerospace, military, electronics and other fields. Tungsten tailings are waste generated during the mining process of tungsten mines, containing high tungsten elements. If tungsten can be effectively extracted from them, it will make a great contribution to environmental protection and resource utilization. Therefore, the research and application of tungsten tailings selection technology is particularly important.

Current Status of Tungsten Tailings Processing Technology

At present, the main technologies for selecting tungsten tailings include heavy medium separation, flotation, chemical separation, etc. Among them, the heavy medium selection method is currently the most widely used method. It achieves the goal of selecting tungsten by selecting heavy media with different specific gravity to separate the ore into different density levels.

2、 Operation steps of tungsten tailings selection technology

1. Ore crushing

The first step in selecting tungsten tailings is to break the ore into appropriate particle sizes for subsequent beneficiation operations. Usually, equipment such as jaw crushers and cone crushers are used for crushing.

2. Ore grinding

Grinding is the refinement of ore into appropriate particle sizes for subsequent heavy medium separation operations. Usually, equipment such as ball mills and ore mills are used for grinding.

3. Re selection

Heavy medium separation is the core operation of selecting tungsten tailings. It selects heavy media with different specific gravity to separate the ore into different density grades, thus achieving the goal of selecting tungsten. Common heavy media include heavy iron ore, Baryte, heavy quartz, etc.

4. Cleaning

Cleaning is the process of cleaning the ore after heavy medium separation to remove impurities for subsequent drying and packaging.

5. Drying and Packaging

Drying and packaging are the final steps in selecting tungsten tailings. It dries the cleaned ore to remove moisture, and then packages it for easy transportation and storage.

3、 Development prospects of tungsten tailings selection technology

The development prospects of tungsten tailings technology are very broad. As the application fields of tungsten continue to expand, the demand for tungsten will also increase. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, the utilization of resources will also be increasingly valued. Therefore, the research and application of tungsten tailings selection technology will receive more widespread attention and support.

In summary, the research and application of tungsten tailings selection technology is a very important task. It is not only beneficial for environmental protection and resource utilization, but also provides better guarantees for the production and application of tungsten. I hope that more scientists and engineers can join in future research to jointly promote the development of tungsten tailings technology.
