Gravity concentration method of seashore Tantalite

Gravity concentration method of seashore Tantalite

Tantalite is an important rare metal mineral, which is mainly used to produce high-tech products, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. Coastal Tantalite refers to Tantalite distributed in coastal areas, which is difficult to mine, but because of its high content, it is a very valuable mineral. This paper will introduce the gravity concentration method of coastal Tantalite to help miners better exploit and utilize this mineral.

I. Features of coastal Tantalite

The characteristics of coastal Tantalite mainly include the following aspects:

1. High content: the content of coastal Tantalite is generally more than 2%, or even more than 10%.

2. Fine particle size: the granularity of seaside Tantalite is generally 0.1-0.5mm, which is relatively small.

3. Complex mineral composition: the mineral composition of coastal Tantalite is relatively complex, mainly including Tantalite, cassiterite, tungsten ore, etc.

2、 Gravity concentration method of seashore Tantalite

The gravity separation methods of seaside Tantalite mainly include gravity beneficiation, flotation, magnetic separation, etc. The specific operating steps of these methods will be introduced below.

1. Gravity beneficiation

Gravity beneficiation is a method of separating ores using the action of gravity. The operation steps are as follows:

(1) Roughly select the raw ore to remove impurities and a portion of the ore.

(2) Fine select the ore after rough selection and use gravity to separate the ore.

(3) Fine select the separated ore again to remove fine particles and impurities.

The advantages of gravity beneficiation are simple operation and low cost, but its separation effect is not ideal for fine-grained ores.

2. Flotation

Flotation is a method of separation based on the relative density difference between minerals and water. The operation steps are as follows:

(1) Add ore powder to water and mix with the reagent.

(2) Use bubbles to float minerals and separate them from water.

(3) Collect and process the floating minerals.

The advantage of flotation is that it has a wide range of applications and can handle fine-grained ores, but its cost is high and the operation is complex.

3. Magnetic separation

Magnetic separation is a method of separating minerals using magnetic differences. The operation steps are as follows:

(1) Process the ore powder through a magnetic separator.

(2) Use a magnetic separator to separate minerals and remove impurities.

(3) Process and collect the separated minerals.

The advantages of magnetic separation are simple operation and low cost, but it is only suitable for some minerals with magnetism.

3、 Utilization of coastal Tantalite

Coastal Tantalite is mainly used to produce high-tech products, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. The utilization process is as follows:

(1) The separated Tantalite is processed.

(2) The processed Tantalite is purified to obtain high-purity Tantalite.

(3) Use high-purity Tantalite to produce high-tech products.

4、 Conclusion

Seaside Tantalite is a very valuable mineral. Its exploitation and utilization is of great significance for promoting the development of high-tech industries. Seaside Tantalite can be separated and purified by gravity beneficiation, flotation, magnetic separation and other methods to obtain high-purity Tantalite for the production of high-tech products.
