Beneficiation test of zircon sand

Beneficiation test of zircon sand

Zircon sand is an important mineral resource widely used in fields such as ceramics, glass, aerospace, electronics, etc. The beneficiation of zircon sand is the process of separating it from the ore, which is an important link in the zircon sand industry chain. This article will introduce the operating steps and precautions for the beneficiation test of zircon sand.

1、 Preparation before testing

1. Preparation of beneficiation equipment: The beneficiation test of zircon sand mainly adopts methods such as heavy medium beneficiation, flotation, magnetic separation, etc. Therefore, corresponding equipment needs to be prepared, such as heavy medium separator, flotation machine, magnetic separator, etc.

2. Preparation of test ore: Select ore samples with higher content of zircon sand for pre processing such as crushing and grinding, in order to facilitate subsequent beneficiation experiments.

3. Preparation of test agent: prepare corresponding agents, such as heavy medium, collector, foam agent, etc. according to the test requirements.

II. Test operation steps

1. Heavy medium beneficiation: After crushing, grinding, and other pre-treatment of ore samples, they are placed in a heavy medium separator for sorting. During the sorting process, due to the high specific gravity of zircon sand, it will settle into the heavy medium, while other minerals will float on top. By adjusting the density of the heavy medium, zircon sand can be separated.

2. Flotation: Add the zircon sand sample after heavy medium beneficiation to the flotation machine for flotation. In the flotation process, the corresponding collectors and foam agents are added to enable the zircon sand to be trapped in the foam to achieve separation.

3. Magnetic separation: Add the flotation zircon sand sample to a magnetic separator for magnetic separation. Due to the magnetic properties of zircon sand, it can be separated from other minerals by adjusting the magnetic field strength.

3、 Test precautions

During the test process, it is necessary to accurately control various parameters, such as the density of heavy media, dosage of reagents, magnetic field strength, etc., to ensure the accuracy of the test results.

2. Before the test, the equipment should be inspected to ensure normal operation.

During the testing process, attention should be paid to safety, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves, etc.

In short, the beneficiation test of zircon sand is an important link in the zircon sand industry chain, which is of great significance for improving the quality and production of zircon sand. By implementing reasonable experimental procedures and precautions, the accuracy and reliability of the test results can be ensured.
