Zirconium titanium ore gravity separation technology

Zirconium titanium ore is a common metal mineral mainly used in the manufacturing of ceramics, refractory materials, chemical raw materials, etc. With the increasing demand for zircon and titanium ore, the mining output of zircon and titanium ore is also increasing year by year. However, the grade of zirconium titanium ore is lower and contains more impurities, so it needs to be re selected to improve the grade and yield. This article will introduce the operating steps and precautions of zirconium titanium ore gravity separation technology.

1、 Operation steps of zirconium titanium ore gravity separation technology

1. Grinding: Firstly, the zirconium titanium ore is ground for better gravity separation. Grinding can use equipment such as ball mills and cone mills to grind the ore into fine powder with a certain particle size.

2. Flotation: After grinding, the ground zirconium titanium ore is placed in a flotation cell and a certain amount of reagent is added for flotation. Flotation can be divided into three stages: rough selection, sweeping selection, and selection. Among them, the rough selection stage mainly removes impurities from the ore, the scanning stage mainly separates zirconium titanium ore from impurities, and the cleaning stage further purifies zirconium titanium ore.

3. Magnetic separation: After flotation, the flotation tailings are subjected to magnetic separation treatment to remove magnetic impurities. Magnetic separation can use equipment such as wet magnetic separators and dry magnetic separators.

4. Gravity separation: After magnetic separation, the magnetic separation tailings are subjected to gravity separation treatment to improve the grade and yield of zirconium titanium ore. Gravity separation can adopt methods such as heavy medium separation and gravity beneficiation.

2、 Precautions for Zirconium Titanium Ore Gravity Separation Technology

1. Select appropriate equipment: When performing zirconium titanium ore gravity separation, it is necessary to select appropriate equipment to ensure operational effectiveness. Different stages of gravity separation require the use of different equipment, such as flotation machines for flotation and magnetic separators for magnetic separation.

2. Control the dosage of reagents: Reagents are essential in the flotation process, but excessive use of reagents can affect the flotation effect and even cause environmental pollution. Therefore, when conducting zirconium titanium ore gravity separation, it is necessary to control the dosage of reagents to ensure that the dosage of reagents is within a reasonable range.

3. Control of water quality: Water quality has a significant impact on zirconium titanium ore gravity separation, and poor water quality can affect flotation efficiency and equipment life. Therefore, when conducting zirconium titanium ore gravity separation, it is necessary to control the water quality to ensure that it meets the requirements.

4. Do a good job in equipment maintenance: Equipment maintenance has a significant impact on the effectiveness and service life of zirconium titanium ore beneficiation. Therefore, when conducting zirconium titanium ore gravity separation, it is necessary to do a good job in equipment maintenance, timely clean up impurities inside the equipment, and check the operation status of the equipment.

In short, the gravity separation technology of zirconium titanium ore is a very important work, which can improve the grade and production of zirconium titanium ore, and meet people's demand for zirconium titanium ore. When conducting zirconium titanium ore gravity separation, it is necessary to select appropriate equipment, control the dosage of reagents and water quality, and maintain the equipment to ensure operational effectiveness.
