Wolframite gravity concentration

Wolframite gravity concentration

Wolframite is an important metal ore. tungsten contained in wolframite is an important industrial raw material, which is widely used in aviation, aerospace, electronics, chemical industry, metallurgy and other fields. However, there are often some problems in the mining and beneficiation of Wolframite, such as too fine ore particle size, more impurities in the ore, etc. These problems will affect the extraction efficiency and quality of tungsten. Therefore, the research and application of Wolframite gravity concentration technology is of great significance.

1、 Principle of Wolframite gravity concentration

Gravity concentration and beneficiation of Wolframite is a process of separating ores by different properties under the action of gravity, buoyancy, inertia, friction and other forces. In the process of Wolframite gravity separation and beneficiation, the original ore needs to be crushed and ground first, and then the ore is separated by gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation and other methods to finally obtain tungsten concentrate.

2、 Operation steps of Wolframite gravity concentration

1. Ore crushing: The original ore is crushed using equipment such as jaw crushers, cone crushers, and impact crushers.

2. Ore grinding: The crushed ore is finely ground using equipment such as ball mills, short column mills, and cone mills.

3. Gravity separation: The finely ground ore is subjected to gravity separation, usually using a gravity separator for separation based on the density, size, shape, and other characteristics of the ore.

4. Flotation: Flotation is carried out on the re selected ore, usually using a flotation machine for separation, based on the buoyancy, surface properties, and other characteristics of the ore.

5. Magnetic separation: Magnetic separation is performed on the ore after flotation, usually using a magnetic separator for separation based on the magnetic properties of the ore.

6. Tungsten concentrate treatment: The tungsten concentrate obtained through gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation, and other steps is generally extracted and processed using smelting, chemical methods, and other methods.

III. Advantages and disadvantages of Wolframite gravity concentration

1. Advantages: Wolframite gravity concentration technology has good separation effect, which can effectively separate tungsten concentrate and improve the extraction efficiency and quality of tungsten.

2. Disadvantages: the equipment and process of Wolframite gravity concentration technology are complex, the investment cost is high, the maintenance and operation are difficult, and at the same time, it has a certain impact on the environment.

4、 Conclusion

The research and application of Wolframite gravity concentration technology is of great significance for improving the extraction efficiency and quality of tungsten. However, in practical application, the complexity of equipment and process, investment cost, environmental impact and other factors need to be considered. Therefore, in the process of Wolframite gravity concentration and beneficiation, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors and select appropriate process flow and equipment to improve the extraction efficiency and quality of tungsten, while reducing costs and environmental impact.
