Beneficiation methods for titanium zirconium ore

Titanium zirconium ore is an important metal mineral widely used in aviation, aerospace, military, chemical and other fields. The beneficiation method of titanium zirconium ore is of great significance for improving the grade of the ore, reducing production costs, and improving economic benefits. This article will introduce several common beneficiation methods for titanium zirconium ore, hoping to be helpful to relevant enterprises and researchers.

1、 Reselection method

The gravity separation method is one of the most commonly used methods in titanium zirconium ore beneficiation. This method gradually improves the grade of titanium zirconium ore through processes such as rough selection, intermediate selection, and selection. The gravity separation method is suitable for situations where the particle size of ore is relatively large, and generally requires the ore particle size to be between 1 and 30 millimeters. The operating steps of the reselection method are as follows:

1. Coarse beneficiation: The raw ore is sorted out through a vibrating screen to obtain ore with a particle size greater than 30 millimeters, and then subjected to coarse beneficiation by a gravity separator to obtain a higher grade coarse beneficiation.

2. Intermediate selection: The coarse ore is sorted out through a vibrating screen to obtain ore with a particle size between 1 and 30 millimeters, and then the intermediate selection machine is used for intermediate selection to obtain higher grade intermediate selection.

3. Selection: The ore with a particle size of less than 1 millimeter is selected through a vibrating screen in the intermediate beneficiation process, and then selected through a selection machine to obtain the highest grade selected ore.

2、 Flotation method

Flotation method is another commonly used method in titanium zirconium ore beneficiation. This method gradually improves the grade of titanium zirconium ore through processes such as flotation and beneficiation. The flotation method is suitable for situations where the particle size of ore is small, and generally requires the ore particle size to be between 0.1 and 0.5 millimeters. The operation steps of the flotation method are as follows:

1. Flotation: the raw ore is separated from the ore with a particle size of less than 0.5mm through the vibrating screen, and then the ore is immersed into the flotation cell, and reagents are added to float the titanium zircon ore and foam together to get the flotation ore.

2. Selection: The flotation ore is sorted out through a vibrating screen to obtain ore with a particle size less than 0.1 millimeters, and then selected through a selection machine to obtain the highest grade of the selected ore.

3、 Magnetic separation method

Magnetic separation method is a relatively special method in titanium zirconium ore beneficiation. This method gradually improves the grade of titanium zirconium ore through processes such as magnetic separation and beneficiation. The magnetic separation method is applicable to situations where ores contain a certain amount of magnetic substances. The operating steps of magnetic separation method are as follows:

1. Magnetic separation: The raw ore is sorted out through a vibrating screen to obtain ore with a particle size of less than 3 millimeters. Then, the ore is immersed in a magnetic separation tank, and reagents are added to adsorb the magnetic material together with the magnet, resulting in magnetic separation ore.

2. Selection: Magnetic separation ore is separated through a vibrating screen to produce ore with a particle size less than 0.5 millimeters, and then selected through a selection machine to obtain the highest grade of selected ore.

4、 Electroselection method

The electric separation method is a relatively novel method in the beneficiation of titanium zirconium ore. This method gradually improves the grade of titanium zirconium ore through processes such as electrical separation and beneficiation. The electric separation method is applicable to situations where the ore contains a certain amount of conductive substances. The operating steps of the electric separation method are as follows:

1. Electric separation: The raw ore is sorted out through a vibrating screen to obtain ore with a particle size of less than 3 millimeters. Then, the ore is immersed in an electric separation tank, and reagents are added to adsorb conductive substances along with the electrodes, resulting in electric separation.

2. Selection: The ore with a particle size of less than 0.5 millimeters is separated by electric beneficiation through a vibrating screen, and then selected by a selection machine to obtain the highest grade selected ore.

In summary, there are various beneficiation methods for titanium zirconium ore, including gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation, and electrical separation. Different beneficiation methods are suitable for different ore conditions. Enterprises and researchers can choose appropriate beneficiation methods based on actual situations to improve the grade of titanium zirconium ore, reduce production costs, and improve economic benefits.
