Gravity separation test of titanium zirconium ore

Gravity separation test of titanium zirconium ore

Titanium zirconium ore is an important metal ore widely used in aviation, aerospace, chemical, electronics, medical and other fields. Therefore, research on the mining and extraction technology of titanium zirconium ore has always been of great concern. This article will introduce a method of gravity separation test for titanium zirconium ore, in order to improve the extraction efficiency and purity of titanium zirconium ore.

1、 Experimental Principles

The gravity separation principle of zirconite is to separate according to the density difference of minerals. The density of Ilmenite is 4.5-5.0g/cm ³， The density of zircon is 4.6-4.7g/cm ³， Therefore, under certain conditions, titanium zirconium ore can be separated by gravity beneficiation.

2、 Experimental steps

1. Sample preparation

Crush and grind the collected titanium zirconium ore samples, and screen them to obtain test samples that meet the requirements.

2. Re-selection experiment

Add the test sample to the gravity separator and separate the titanium zirconium ore through the action of water flow based on the difference in mineral density. The specific operation steps are as follows:

(1) Adjust the water flow rate and slope of the gravity separator to achieve the optimal separation state.

(2) Add the test sample to the reselection machine, turn on the machine, and perform separation.

(3) Adjust the water flow rate and slope based on the separation effect to optimize the separation effect.

3. Analysis of test results

Conduct chemical analysis and physical property testing on the separated titanium zirconium ore samples to determine their purity and applicability.

3、 Experimental precautions

During the experiment, attention should be paid to safety to avoid accidents.

2. The test samples should meet the standards to avoid poor sample quality affecting the experimental results.

3. The adjustment of the reselection machine should be based on the actual situation to avoid excessive adjustment that may lead to experimental failure.

4、 Experimental Conclusion

Through this titanium zirconium ore gravity separation experiment, titanium zirconium ore was successfully separated and high purity was obtained. This method has the advantages of simple operation and significant effects, and is suitable for the extraction and separation of titanium zirconium ore.
