Experiment on selecting vanadium zirconium ore

Vanadium zirconium ore is an important mineral resource with broad application prospects. In the beneficiation process of vanadium zirconium ore, beneficiation testing is a crucial step. Only through testing can the optimal beneficiation process be determined, improving the grade and recovery rate of the ore. This article will introduce the specific operating steps of the vanadium zirconium ore selection experiment, hoping to be helpful to relevant practitioners.

1、 Test equipment

1. Shaker: A shaker is the main equipment used for mineral processing experiments, which is used to separate minerals of different densities in water flow by shaking the ore. Commonly used shakers include 6S and LY models.

2. Magnetic separator: Magnetic separators are used for the separation of magnetic minerals. Commonly used magnetic separators include wet magnetic separators, dry magnetic separators, etc.

3. Flotation machine: Flotation machines are used for the separation of non-magnetic minerals, and commonly used flotation machines include mechanical flotation machines, air flotation separators, etc.

4. Laboratory analytical instruments: laboratory analytical instruments include optical microscope, electron microscope, X-ray fluorescence, etc., which are used to analyze and detect test samples.

2、 Test steps

1. Sampling: A certain amount of ore is obtained from the mine and processed through crushing, grinding, etc. to prepare samples that meet the test requirements.

2. Coarse selection test: Place the sample in a shaker for rough selection test. By adjusting parameters such as the tilt angle and amplitude of the shaker, minerals of different densities are separated in the water flow. Analyze the separated minerals to determine their grade and recovery rate.

3. Magnetic separation test: The roughly selected mineral samples are placed in a magnetic separator for magnetic separation test, and magnetic minerals are selected by adjusting parameters such as magnetic field strength and direction. Analyze the separated minerals to determine their grade and recovery rate.

4. Flotation test: Place the mineral samples that have undergone magnetic separation into a flotation machine for flotation test. By adjusting parameters such as reagent type and dosage, non magnetic minerals are selected. Analyze the separated minerals to determine their grade and recovery rate.

5. Comprehensive test: Conduct comprehensive tests on mineral samples that have undergone rough selection, magnetic separation, and flotation to determine the optimal beneficiation process and improve the ore grade and recovery rate.

3、 Precautions

1. During the testing process, attention should be paid to safety to avoid accidents.

2. Before the experiment, it is necessary to keep test records and record the operations and results of each step.

3. Strictly control the test conditions during the test process to ensure the reliability of the test results.

4. After the test is completed, the test equipment should be cleaned and maintained to ensure its normal use.

In short, the experiment of selecting vanadium zirconium ore is a very important step. Only through the experiment can the optimal beneficiation process be determined, and the grade and recovery rate of the ore can be improved. I hope this article is helpful to relevant practitioners.
