Gravity separation test of titanium tantalum ore

Gravity separation test of titanium tantalum ore

Titanium tantalum ore is an important metal ore mainly used for the production of steel, titanium alloys, etc. The content of titanium tantalum ore is relatively low, and it is necessary to improve the grade through processes such as gravity separation. This article will introduce the operational steps and experimental results of the titanium tantalum ore gravity separation experiment.

1. Experimental raw materials

The titanium tantalum ore sample selected for this experiment comes from a certain mine and was obtained through crushing, grinding, and other processes. After chemical analysis, the sample contains 20.5% titanium and 0.8% niobium.

2、 Test equipment

The equipment used in this experiment includes: screening machine, gravity separator, magnetic separator, dewatering screen, etc.

3、 Test steps

1. Screening

Sieve the titanium tantalum ore sample through a screening machine to obtain fine-grained samples below 3mm and coarse-grained samples between 3-10mm.

2. Reselection

Fine grade samples are subjected to gravity separation using a gravity separator to obtain high-grade titanium tantalum ore concentrate. The beneficiation principle of a gravity separator is to separate minerals based on their specific gravity differences.

3. Magnetic separation

The coarse-grained samples are magnetically separated by a magnetic separator to remove magnetic substances and obtain high-grade titanium tantalum ore concentrate.

4. Dehydration

Dehydrate the titanium tantalum ore concentrate through a dehydration screen to obtain a dry titanium tantalum ore concentrate.

4、 Test results

After processing by gravity separation, magnetic separation, dehydration and other processes, the grade of titanium tantalum ore has been improved. After chemical analysis, the titanium tantalum ore concentrate obtained from the experiment contains 30.5% titanium and 1.2% niobium.

5、 Conclusion

The results of the gravity separation experiment of titanium tantalum ore at indicate that the grade of titanium tantalum ore can be effectively improved through processes such as gravity separation and magnetic separation. This is of great significance for the processing and utilization of titanium tantalum ore.
