Gravity separation test of tungsten tin tailings

Gravity separation test of tungsten tin tailings

Tungsten tin is an important rare metal with extensive applications in modern industries, and tungsten tin tailings are a byproduct of tungsten tin industry. With the development of the tungsten tin industry, the treatment of tungsten tin tailings has also attracted increasing attention. In order to fully utilize tungsten tin tailings resources and improve resource utilization efficiency, tungsten tin tailings gravity separation experiments have become a current research hotspot.

1、 The significance of tungsten tin tailings gravity separation test

Tungsten tin tailings are waste generated during the production process of tungsten tin, which contains a certain amount of valuable metal elements such as tungsten and tin. In traditional tailings treatment methods, tungsten tin tailings are often regarded as a waste that is directly discharged into the environment, causing serious environmental pollution. Through the gravity separation experiment of tungsten tin tailings, valuable metal elements can be effectively extracted, resource reuse can be achieved, and environmental pollution can be reduced, which has important economic and environmental significance.

2、 Operation steps of tungsten tin tailings gravity separation test

1. Sample preparation

Firstly, it is necessary to collect samples of tungsten tin tailings and perform crushing, screening, and other processing to obtain samples that meet the test requirements.

2. Re-selection test

Place the sample in the reselection machine for reselection testing. During the re selection process, minerals containing valuable metal elements are separated from the waste based on different physical properties.

3. Post selection processing

Dry and concentrate the re selected minerals to obtain pure metal elements.

3、 Research progress in the gravity separation experiment of tungsten tin tailings

In recent years, with the development of the tungsten tin industry, research on the gravity separation test of tungsten tin tailings has also made certain progress. At present, many scholars and research institutions at home and abroad have conducted research on the gravity separation of tungsten tin tailings and proposed some new experimental methods and technologies.

For example, researchers from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, proposed a new gravity separation method for tungsten tin tailings flotation magnetic separation combined process. This method combines flotation and magnetic separation to effectively improve the recovery rate of metal elements such as tungsten and tin in tungsten tin tailings, while also reducing the generation of waste.

In addition, some foreign research institutions have also made meaningful explorations in the gravity separation of tungsten tin tailings. For example, some researchers in the United States have successfully extracted a large amount of tungsten and tin from tungsten tin tailings using flotation and gravity separation techniques.

4、 Conclusion

The gravity separation experiment of tungsten tin tailings is an important research work with significant economic and environmental significance. Through the gravity separation experiment of tungsten tin tailings, the recovery rate of valuable metal elements in tungsten tin tailings can be effectively improved, waste generation can be reduced, resource reuse can be achieved, and it plays an important role in promoting the sustainable development of the tungsten tin industry.
