Gravity beneficiation method for tungsten tailings

Tungsten sand is an important metal mineral commonly used in the manufacturing of high-temperature alloys, hard alloys, electronic components, etc. With the continuous increase of mining output of tungsten sand, the treatment of tungsten sand tailings has become increasingly prominent. The traditional tungsten tailings treatment method has problems such as complex process, high cost, and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to study an efficient and environmentally friendly tungsten tailings treatment method.

The gravity beneficiation method for tungsten tailings is a beneficiation method based on differences in physical properties, which has the advantages of low cost, environmental protection, and simple operation. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the operational steps and precautions of the gravity beneficiation method for tungsten tailings, in order to provide a feasible solution for the treatment of tungsten tailings.

1、 The principle of gravity beneficiation method for tungsten tailings

The gravity beneficiation method of tungsten tailings is a beneficiation method that uses gravity to separate minerals according to density. In the process of gravity beneficiation, tungsten tailings are pretreated by crushing, screening, and other processes before entering the gravity concentrator for sorting. The gravity concentrator divides the minerals into heavy minerals and light minerals according to the density difference of minerals, so as to realize the separation and purification of tungsten tailings.

2、 Operating Steps of Gravity Beneficiation Method for Tungsten Sand Tailings

1. Pre processing

The tungsten sand tailings are subject to crushing, screening and other pretreatment to meet the Granularity requirements suitable for gravity beneficiation.

2. Selection of gravity concentrator

Select a suitable gravity concentrator for separation based on the physical properties and beneficiation requirements of tungsten tailings. Commonly used gravity concentrators include heavy medium concentrators, spiral concentrators, centrifugal concentrators, etc.

3. Adjustment of gravity concentrator

Adjust the gravity concentrator according to different beneficiation requirements, including adjusting the tilt angle, water flow rate, medium density, and other parameters of the concentrator.

4. Sorting

The pre processed tungsten tailings are sorted through a gravity concentrator to separate heavy and light minerals.

5. Re sorting

Re-separate the separated heavy and light minerals to achieve higher purification efficiency.

Notes on Gravity Beneficiation Method for Tungsten Sand Tailings

1. During pretreatment, pay attention to keeping the Granularity of tungsten sand tailings uniform, and avoid excessive crushing or screening.

2. When selecting, the selection should be based on the physical properties and beneficiation requirements of tungsten tailings, to avoid selecting unsuitable gravity concentrators.

3. When adjusting the gravity concentrator, adjustments should be made according to the actual situation to avoid improper parameter settings that may lead to poor sorting results.

During the sorting process, attention should be paid to thoroughly separating heavy and light minerals to avoid cross contamination.

5. When sorting again, it is necessary to choose according to the actual situation to avoid excessive sorting leading to increased costs.

4、 Summary

The gravity beneficiation method for tungsten tailings is an efficient, environmentally friendly, and easy to operate beneficiation method with broad application prospects. In practical applications, attention should be paid to the processes of pretreatment, selection, adjustment, and sorting to achieve better separation and purification effects. I believe that with the continuous progress of technology, the gravity beneficiation method of tungsten tailings will be more widely applied and promoted.
