Beneficiation technology of Wolframite

With the development of economy, the demand for Wolframite is increasing, and the development of Wolframite beneficiation technology is becoming more and more mature. This paper will introduce the basic concept, operation steps and future development trend of Wolframite beneficiation technology.

1、 Basic concept of Wolframite beneficiation technology

Wolframite is an important tungsten ore and also a refractory ore. The beneficiation technology of Wolframite refers to the separation of tungsten minerals and impurities in Wolframite through physical, chemical, flotation and other methods, so as to improve the tungsten grade and recovery rate. The development of Wolframite beneficiation technology can be divided into the following stages:

1. Traditional beneficiation technology stage

Traditional beneficiation techniques mainly include methods such as gravity separation, magnetic separation, and flotation. Although these methods can separate a certain amount of tungsten minerals, the recovery rate is low and the treatment effect is not ideal.

2. Comprehensive beneficiation technology stage

With the progress of science and technology, comprehensive beneficiation technology has gradually become the mainstream of Wolframite beneficiation technology. The comprehensive beneficiation technology mainly includes methods such as gravity flotation, gravity magnetic separation, flotation magnetic separation, etc. These methods complement each other and can improve tungsten grade and recovery rate, with a significantly better treatment effect than traditional beneficiation techniques.

3. New beneficiation technology stage

In recent years, new mineral processing technologies have emerged continuously, such as oxidation roasting, leaching, hot leaching, etc. These new technologies not only improve tungsten grade and recovery rate, but also reduce environmental pollution and energy consumption, and have broad application prospects.

2、 Operation steps of Wolframite beneficiation technology

The operation steps of Wolframite beneficiation technology mainly include ore crushing, ore grinding, ore flotation, concentration and tailings treatment. The specific operation steps are as follows:

1. Ore crushing

The wolframite ore is preliminarily crushed to make the ore particle size suitable for subsequent beneficiation operations.

2. Ore grinding

The ore is finely ground through a grinding machine to ensure that the particle size of the ore is suitable for flotation operations.

3. Ore flotation

The ore after grinding is floated by a flotation machine to separate tungsten minerals from impurities in Wolframite.

4. Selection

Clean the flotation tungsten concentrate to improve tungsten grade and recovery rate.

5. Tailings treatment

Treat the selected tailings to reduce environmental pollution and resource waste.

3、 Future development trend of Wolframite beneficiation technology

With the continuous progress of science and technology, Wolframite beneficiation technology is also developing. In the future, the development trend of Wolframite beneficiation technology is mainly shown in the following aspects:

1. Environmental protection and energy conservation

In the future, the development trend of Wolframite beneficiation technology will pay more attention to environmental protection and energy conservation. The new mineral processing technology will pay more attention to reducing environmental pollution and resource waste, and improving energy utilization efficiency.

2. Automation control

In the future, the development trend of Wolframite beneficiation technology will pay more attention to automatic control. By utilizing intelligent and automated technologies, intelligent control and optimization of the beneficiation process can be achieved, improving beneficiation efficiency and grade.

3. Efficient beneficiation

In the future, the development trend of Wolframite beneficiation technology will pay more attention to efficient beneficiation. The new beneficiation technology will pay more attention to improving tungsten grade and recovery rate, reducing beneficiation costs and energy consumption.

In a word, Wolframite beneficiation technology is an important beneficiation technology, and its development history and future development trend are of great significance to the development of Wolframite industry. In the future, Wolframite beneficiation technology will continue to develop in the direction of environmental protection, energy saving, automatic control and efficient beneficiation, injecting new vitality into the development of Wolframite industry.
