Gravity separation test of titanium sand ore

Gravity separation test of titanium sand ore

Titanium placer is an important titanium metal raw material, which is widely used in aviation, aerospace, military, medical, chemical and other fields. However, titanium placer ore contains a large amount of impurities and difficult to handle minerals, which poses great difficulties for the extraction and application of titanium metal. To address this issue, we conducted gravity separation experiments on titanium sand ore.

1、 Test purpose

The purpose of this experiment is to reduce the impurity content in titanium sand ore, improve the grade of titanium sand ore, and provide better raw materials for subsequent extraction processes through the gravity separation process.

2、 Experimental principle

The gravity separation experiment of titanium sand ore mainly adopts methods such as gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation, etc. Through different physical and chemical reactions, impurities are separated from titanium sand ore to achieve the goal of improving grade.

3、 Test steps

1. Sample preparation

Firstly, it is necessary to collect samples of titanium sand ore and perform crushing, screening, and mixing processes to prepare samples that meet the test requirements.

2. Re-selection test

Place the sample in the reselection machine for reselection testing. The principle of gravity separator is to use the density difference of different minerals to separate minerals through the action of water flow. During the experiment, it is necessary to adjust the parameters of the gravity separator based on the density and color characteristics of the minerals, so that the minerals can be effectively separated.

3. Flotation test

Place the re selected minerals into a flotation machine for flotation testing. The principle of a flotation machine is to use the differences in hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of mineral surfaces to separate minerals through the action of bubbles. During the experiment, it is necessary to adjust the parameters of the flotation machine based on the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the minerals, so that the minerals can be effectively separated.

4. Magnetic separation test

Place the flotation minerals into a magnetic separator for magnetic separation testing. The principle of a magnetic separator is to use the magnetic differences of minerals to separate them through the action of a magnetic field. During the experiment, it is necessary to adjust the parameters of the magnetic separator based on the magnetic differences of the minerals, so that the minerals can be effectively separated.

5. Result analysis

Based on the experimental results, analyze the impurity content and grade changes in titanium sand ore, and summarize and analyze the parameters during the experimental process. At the same time, it is necessary to verify and evaluate the experimental results to provide reference for subsequent extraction processes.

4、 Conclusion

Through the titanium sand ore gravity separation experiment, we successfully reduced the impurity content in the titanium sand ore, improved the grade of the titanium sand ore, and provided better raw materials for subsequent extraction processes. At the same time, we also summarized the advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of methods such as gravity separation, flotation, and magnetic separation, providing more ideas and directions for the treatment of titanium sand ore.
