Gravity beneficiation test of Binhai titanium sand mine

With the development of technology and industrial progress, the development and utilization of mineral resources have become a hot topic of concern. Titanium ore is a very important mineral resource among mineral resources. And the coastal titanium sand ore is one of the important titanium ore resources in China, which contains rich metal elements such as titanium, iron, zirconium, etc. In order to better develop and utilize the coastal titanium sand mine, gravity beneficiation experiments are required.

1、 Gravity beneficiation principle

Gravity beneficiation is a beneficiation method that uses the density difference of different minerals to separate under the action of gravity field. The principle of gravity beneficiation is to put ore into water and use the density of water to divide the ore into light and heavy parts. Light minerals float on the water surface, while heavy minerals sink to the bottom. Through this method, useful minerals in the ore can be separated from useless minerals.

2、 Gravity beneficiation test steps for coastal titanium sand ore

1. Sample preparation

Firstly, it is necessary to prepare a certain number of coastal titanium sand ore samples, which should represent the overall situation of the deposit as much as possible. During the sample preparation process, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining the integrity and authenticity of the sample.

2. Preparation of testing equipment

The main equipment required for gravity beneficiation experiments are: water tanks, vibrators, sieves, magnetic separators, heavy medium separators, etc. Before conducting gravity beneficiation tests, it is necessary to prepare and inspect these equipment to ensure their normal operation.

3. Test operation

Place the sample in the sink, add an appropriate amount of water, adjust the depth and flow rate of the water, and make the sample evenly distributed in the water. Then turn on the vibrator, causing the water tank to vibrate, causing light minerals in the ore to float to the water surface and heavy minerals to sink to the bottom. Next, use a sieve to screen out the light minerals on the water surface, and then use a magnetic separator to separate the iron minerals from the ore. Finally, a heavy medium separator is used to separate the zirconium minerals from the ore.

4. Result analysis

Conduct chemical analysis and physical testing on the separated minerals to determine their quality and content. Based on the experimental results, it can provide reference for the mining and utilization of coastal titanium sand mines.

3、 Summary

Gravity beneficiation test is an effective beneficiation method that can be used for the development and utilization of mineral resources such as coastal titanium sand ore. When conducting gravity beneficiation tests, it is necessary to pay attention to sample preparation and equipment inspection to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test. Through gravity beneficiation experiments, the quality and content of minerals can be obtained, providing a basis for the development and utilization of mineral resources.
