Gravity beneficiation equipment for tungsten tailings

Tungsten tailings are an important metal ore with a tungsten content of over 0.5%, making them one of the main sources of tungsten. The use of gravity beneficiation equipment is crucial in the beneficiation process of tungsten tailings. This article will introduce the usage methods and precautions of tungsten tailings gravity beneficiation equipment.

1、 Types of gravity beneficiation equipment for tungsten tailings

At present, the common gravity beneficiation equipment for tungsten tailings mainly includes flotation machines, heavy medium sorting machines, spiral sorting machines, centrifugal sorting machines, etc. These equipment have their own characteristics, and suitable equipment can be selected according to specific beneficiation needs.

2、 Usage method of gravity beneficiation equipment for tungsten tailings

1. Flotation machine

Flotation machine is a commonly used beneficiation equipment, whose main principle is to use the different affinity between minerals and bubbles to make mineral particles and bubbles rise together to the liquid surface, thereby achieving mineral separation. In the flotation process of tungsten tailings, it is usually necessary to add some reagents, such as collectors and foaming agents, to improve the beneficiation effect.

2. Heavy medium sorting machine

The principle of a heavy medium sorting machine is to achieve the separation of minerals by utilizing the different settling rates of minerals with different densities in the heavy medium. In the process of heavy medium separation of tungsten tailings, the commonly used heavy medium is magnetic separation waste residue or Baryte, with a density of 2.5~3.5 g/cm ³ Between.

3. Spiral sorting machine

Spiral sorting machine is a commonly used mineral processing equipment, whose main principle is to use the rotating motion of spiral blades to separate mineral particles under the action of centrifugal force. In the spiral sorting process of tungsten tailings, it is usually necessary to select appropriate blade speed and slope based on the density and particle size of the minerals.

4. Centrifugal sorting machine

A centrifugal separator is an efficient beneficiation equipment that uses centrifugal force to separate mineral particles. In the centrifugal separation process of tungsten tailings, it is usually necessary to choose appropriate centrifugal force and separation time based on the density and particle size of the minerals.

Notes on gravity beneficiation equipment for tungsten tailings

The selection of beneficiation equipment should be based on specific beneficiation needs, and different equipment is suitable for different mineral types and ore properties.

During the beneficiation process, attention should be paid to adding an appropriate amount of reagents to improve the beneficiation effect. However, the dosage of reagents should be controlled within a certain range, as excessive use can affect the beneficiation effect.

When using spiral and centrifugal separators, attention should be paid to adjusting the blade speed and centrifugal force to ensure the beneficiation effect.

4. During the beneficiation process, attention should be paid to the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment, and impurities and scale inside the equipment should be cleaned in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

In summary, gravity beneficiation of tungsten tailings is a very important task, and the selection and use of beneficiation equipment have a crucial impact on the beneficiation effect. I hope this article is helpful to everyone.
