Gravity beneficiation process flow of tungsten tailings

Gravity beneficiation process flow of tungsten tailings

Tungsten tailing is an important tungsten ore, whose main components are Tungstate and wolframite. Tungsten is an important metal element widely used in the manufacturing of hard alloys, high-speed steels, alloy steels, and other fields. Therefore, the mining and beneficiation processes of tungsten tailings have attracted much attention. This article will introduce the gravity beneficiation process of tungsten tailings, helping readers understand the beneficiation process of tungsten tailings.

1、 Physical properties of tungsten tailings

The main components of tungsten tailings are Tungstate and wolframite, with high hardness and density. It is difficult to improve their grade by conventional beneficiation methods. Therefore, it is necessary to use physical beneficiation methods, such as gravity beneficiation, magnetic separation, flotation, etc.

II. Gravity beneficiation process flow of tungsten tailings

1. Rough selection

After crushing and grinding, the tungsten tailings of enter the gravity beneficiation process. Firstly, rough selection is carried out, dividing the tungsten tailings into coarse concentrate and tailings. The coarse concentrate contains high Tungstate and ferrotungsten ore, and the tailings contain low Tungstate and ferrotungsten ore.

2. Successful selection

After gravity beneficiation, the coarse concentrate enters the intermediate stage. Medium concentration is mainly to further separate Tungstate and iron tungsten ore in coarse concentrate through gravity separation. After successful selection, intermediate concentrate and tailings are obtained.

3. Selection

After gravity beneficiation, the concentrate enters the beneficiation process. The cleaning is mainly to further separate the Tungstate and iron tungsten ore in the intermediate concentrate through gravity separation and flotation. After selection, concentrate and tailings are obtained.

4. Re select

After gravity beneficiation, the concentrate enters the re selection process. Re concentration is mainly to further remove impurities in the concentrate through flotation, so as to improve the grade of Tungstate and wolframite. After re selection, the final tungsten concentrate is obtained.

3、 Advantages of gravity beneficiation process for tungsten tailings

1. Simple process

The gravity beneficiation process for tungsten tailings is simple, easy to operate, and does not require complex equipment or high technical level.

2. Low cost

The gravity beneficiation process for tungsten tailings has low cost, does not require a large amount of chemical reagents and energy, saves costs, and improves economic benefits.

3. Good beneficiation effect

The gravity beneficiation process flow of tungsten tailings has good beneficiation effect, which can effectively improve the grade of Tungstate and ferrotungsten ore and meet the needs of industrial production.

4、 Conclusion

The gravity beneficiation process of tungsten tailings is a simple, low-cost, and efficient beneficiation method. It can effectively improve the grade of Tungstate and iron tungsten ore and meet the needs of industrial production. In the mining and beneficiation process of tungsten tailings, the gravity beneficiation process of tungsten tailings should be adopted to improve economic and social benefits.
