Zirconium sand gravity separation process flow

Zirconium sand gravity separation process flow

Zirconium sand is an important industrial raw material widely used in fields such as ceramics, glass, steel, aerospace, etc. However, the quality of zirconium sand varies, and zirconium sand with high impurity content can seriously affect its application value. Therefore, the zirconium sand gravity separation process is particularly important. This article will introduce a commonly used zirconium sand gravity separation process to help readers understand the specific operating steps of zirconium sand gravity separation.

1、 The principle of zirconium sand gravity separation

The principle of zirconium sand re selection is to use the differences in physical and chemical properties of different minerals in zirconium sand to separate impurities from zirconium sand through sorting and separation, thereby improving the quality of zirconium sand. The commonly used methods for zirconium sand gravity separation include heavy medium separation, flotation, magnetic separation, electrical separation, etc.

2、 Zirconium sand gravity separation process flow

1. Crushing: Crush the original zirconium sand to a certain particle size.

2. Heavy medium sorting: Place the crushed zirconium sand into the heavy medium for sorting. The density of the heavy medium is generally 2.5-3.5g/cm ³， It can effectively separate minerals of different densities.

3. Magnetic separation: Magnetic separation is carried out on the zirconium sand after heavy medium separation to remove magnetic minerals from it.

4. Electrical separation: Conduct electrical separation on the zirconium sand after magnetic separation to remove conductive minerals.

5. Flotation: Float the zirconium sand after electrical separation to remove non-metallic oxides from it.

6. Washing: Wash the flotation zirconium sand to remove impurities such as sediment.

7. Drying: Dry the washed zirconium sand to a certain moisture content.

3、 Advantages and disadvantages of zirconium sand gravity separation process flow

1. Advantages: The zirconium sand gravity separation process can effectively separate impurities in zirconium sand and improve the quality of zirconium sand; Easy to operate and master; Suitable for various types of zirconium sand.

2. Disadvantages: The zirconium sand gravity separation process requires multiple sorting and separation, which consumes time and manpower; The cost of heavy media, magnetic separation, electrical separation and other equipment is relatively high; There are high requirements for the working environment, and it is necessary to ensure a dust-free and vibration free working environment.

4、 Application of Zirconium Sand Gravity Separation Process Flow

The zirconium sand gravity separation process is widely used in fields such as ceramics, glass, steel, aerospace, etc. Among them, ceramics are one of the main application areas of zirconium sand, which can be used to manufacture high-end ceramic products, such as ceramic tableware, ceramic vases, ceramic handicrafts, etc. Zirconium sand can also be used to manufacture high-temperature furnaces, high-pressure vessels, etc., and has important application value.

In summary, the zirconium sand gravity separation process is an important means to improve the quality of zirconium sand, and mastering the specific operating steps of zirconium sand gravity separation plays an important role in ensuring the quality of zirconium sand. I hope this article can help readers understand the basic principles and specific operating steps of zirconium sand re selection, and provide some reference for the application of zirconium sand.
