Zirconium titanium sand mining and beneficiation equipment

Zirconium titanium sand is an important metal mineral resource, which is widely used in aerospace, military, shipbuilding, nuclear industry and other fields. With the increasing demand for high-end materials in the country, the mining and equipment of zirconium titanium sand have also been further studied and developed. This article will introduce the types, working principles, and operating steps of zirconium titanium sand mining and beneficiation equipment.

1、 Types of Zirconium Titanium Sand Mining and Dressing Equipment

At present, the commonly used zirconium titanium sand mining and beneficiation equipment mainly includes heavy medium concentrators, spiral separators, vibrating screens, magnetic separators, flotation machines, etc.

1. Heavy medium concentrator

The heavy medium concentrator is a kind of equipment for mineral processing based on density difference, which can effectively separate minerals of different densities. The main principle is to add ore with a density of 1.5-3.5g/cm ³ In the heavy medium, minerals with higher density sink and minerals with lower density float, thus achieving separation.

2. Spiral sorting machine

Spiral sorting machine is a device that uses centrifugal force for sorting, suitable for minerals with a particle size of 0.3-0.02mm. The main principle is to diffuse the ore outward under the action of centrifugal force through the rotation of spiral blades, with heavier minerals settling in the axial direction and lighter minerals being discharged outward.

3. Vibration screen

A vibrating screen is a device that uses vibration force to screen minerals with a particle size of 0.074-6mm. The main principle is to make the ore jump on the screen through the vibration of the screen, thereby achieving separation.

4. Magnetic separator

A magnetic separator is a device that uses magnetic differences for sorting, suitable for magnetic minerals. The main principle is to separate magnetic minerals by moving them towards the magnetic poles under the action of magnetic field lines.

5. Flotation machine

A flotation machine is a device that utilizes the affinity between minerals and bubbles for sorting, suitable for minerals with particle sizes ranging from 0.5 to 0.01mm. The main principle is to place the ore in water containing reagents and bubbles, allowing the mineral to interact with the bubbles and achieve separation.

2、 Working Principle of Zirconium Titanium Sand Mining and Dressing Equipment

The working principle of zirconium titanium sand mining and beneficiation equipment is basically the same, which uses different physical or chemical properties to separate minerals. Taking a heavy medium concentrator as an example, its workflow is as follows:

1. Crush the ore to an appropriate particle size.

2. Place the ore in a heavy medium with a density of 1.5-3.5g/cm ³。

3. Mix the ore and heavy medium thoroughly by stirring or rotating.

4. Ores settle in heavy media, heavier minerals sink, and lighter minerals float.

5. Separate heavier minerals from lighter minerals through the separation of heavy media.

3、 Operating Steps of Zirconium Titanium Sand Mining and Dressing Equipment

1. Check whether the electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and other systems of the equipment are normal.

2. Clean the equipment to ensure that the interior of the equipment is clean and hygienic.

3. Crush the ore to an appropriate particle size.

4. Select appropriate equipment for mining and dressing according to different mineral characteristics.

5. Place the ore into the equipment and operate according to the working principle of the equipment.

6. Conduct multiple mining and selection as needed to achieve better separation results.

7. Clean and dry the separated minerals.

8. Clean, maintain, and maintain the equipment to ensure its normal operation.

Conclusion

Zirconium titanium sand mining and selection equipment is an important tool for achieving zirconium titanium sand mining and selection, with a wide variety of types and different working principles. When selecting equipment, it should be based on mineral characteristics and mining requirements, while paying attention to the operating steps and maintenance of the equipment to ensure its normal operation and mining efficiency.
