Gravity beneficiation test of tungsten tailings

Gravity beneficiation test of tungsten tailings

Tungsten sand is an important metal ore widely used in aviation, aerospace, electronics, chemical and other fields. However, the mining and processing process of tungsten sand will generate a large amount of tailings, which contain a large amount of tungsten ore and other metal ores. If left untreated, it will cause serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to treat tungsten tailings.

Gravity beneficiation is a commonly used method for treating tungsten tailings, which separates tungsten ore from other metal ores through the action of gravity, achieving the goal of recycling and reducing waste. Next, we will introduce the operational steps of a gravity beneficiation test for tungsten tailings.

1、 Preparation before testing

1. Collect tungsten tailings samples and conduct chemical composition analysis to determine the content and proportion of various metal ores contained in them.

2. Prepare gravity beneficiation equipment, including vibrating screens, spiral beneficiation machines, centrifuges, etc.

3. Based on the results of chemical composition analysis, determine the beneficiation process flow for the experiment and prepare corresponding experimental plans.

2、 Test operation steps

1. After preliminary crushing, screening, and other processing, the tungsten tailings sample is sent to a vibrating screen for screening.

2. Feed the screened tungsten tailings into a spiral concentrator and separate the tungsten ore and other metal ores through the action of the spiral.

3. Feed the separated tungsten ore and other metal ores into a centrifuge, and separate the heavy metal ores through centrifugation.

4. Conduct chemical analysis on the separated heavy metal ore to determine the tungsten ore content and quality.

5. Based on the chemical analysis results, further processing is carried out on heavy metal ores to extract tungsten ores from them.

3、 Analysis of test results

Through the above experimental operation steps, tungsten ore and other metal ores in tungsten tailings can be separated, achieving the goal of recycling and reducing waste. At the same time, the experimental results can also provide reference for subsequent industrial production, determining suitable beneficiation process flow and equipment configuration.

In short, the gravity beneficiation test of tungsten tailings is an important work, which is of great significance for the treatment and recovery of tungsten tailings. During the testing process, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating steps to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
