Gravity beneficiation method for zircon

Zircon is an important industrial mineral widely used in fields such as ceramics, electronics, and aviation. In order to improve the quality and production of zircon, gravity beneficiation method has become an important beneficiation technology. This article will introduce the operating steps and precautions of the gravity beneficiation method for zircon.

1、 Overview of gravity beneficiation methods for zircon

The gravity beneficiation method of zircon is a method of separating ores using beneficiation equipment, utilizing the different characteristics of zircon and other minerals in the gravity field. Commonly used beneficiation equipment includes heavy medium sorting machines, spiral sorting machines, vibration tables, etc. The gravity beneficiation method for zircon has the advantages of simplicity, efficiency, and energy conservation, and is currently one of the main methods for zircon beneficiation.

2、 Operating steps of zircon gravity beneficiation method

1. Ore crushing: Crushing the raw ore into appropriately sized particles, usually 10-30mm, using a crushing equipment.

2. Ore classification: The crushed ore is classified through screening equipment to separate ores of different particle sizes.

3. Heavy medium separation: The graded ore is sorted through a heavy medium separator, which is a device that uses different densities of heavy media to separate the ore. The density of zircon is 4.6-4.7g/cm ³， Generally, heavy media are Barium sulfate, Baryte, etc.

4. Spiral sorting: The ore separated from the heavy medium is further sorted through a spiral sorting machine, which uses spiral blades to separate the ore. Zircon has a higher specific gravity than other minerals and can deposit on spiral blades, while other minerals are excluded.

5. Vibration table sorting: The spiral sorted ore is finally sorted through the vibration table. A vibration table is a device that uses vibration force to separate ores. Zircon has strong seismic resistance and can maintain stability on a vibration table, while other minerals are excluded by the vibration force.

3、 Precautions for gravity beneficiation method of zircon

1. Selection of ore: Selecting high-quality ore can improve the beneficiation effect and yield.

2. Equipment selection: Select appropriate beneficiation equipment based on the properties of the ore and beneficiation requirements.

3. Operating standards: During the operation process, attention should be paid to operating standards to avoid equipment damage and personal injury.

4、 Conclusion

The gravity beneficiation method for zircon is a simple, efficient, and energy-saving beneficiation method that can improve the quality and yield of zircon. During the operation process, attention should be paid to the selection and operation specifications of beneficiation equipment to ensure beneficiation efficiency and safe production.
