Beneficiation is used to improve the economic value of an ore by removing the less valuable "gangue" minerals (tailings) from the higher-valuable "product" minerals (concentrate). Our Research Technicians use industry standard methods to carry out experiments using a variety of techniques to create mineral concentrates.
Mineral liberation and size reduction are the most critical steps before mineral separation. Several investigations showed that mineral liberation degree could be affected by ore texture and/or ...
A new bauxite-type vanadium ore with a grade of 0.96% V2O5 was found in Hanzhong, China, having quartz, illite, and calcite as the main mineral constituents and vanadium that mainly occurs in the aluminosilicate lattice of illite by replacing Al3+ with V3+ in isomorphism form. In this study, a novel process of low-temperature sulfating roasting–water leaching …
Sensor-based ore sorting is a physical separation technology where the mechanical platform contributes to the overall process efficiency. The primary factor for technical feasibility is the sub-process of detection. The detection efficiency describes the chance of misclassification in dependence of the cut-off grade.
X-Ray Transmission technology (XRT), LASER, near-infrared (NIR), colour scanning and electromagnetic sensors (EM); these and other technologies are at the forefront of mineral separation technology.
The frothed ore collects on the oil section whereas the impurities settle down in the water medium. Chemical Separation: One way of concentrating the ore is by chemical separation. For example, the separation of aluminium (Al) from the bauxite ore. This process of separating aluminium from the bauxite ore is also termed Bayer's Process.
A comprehensive recovery process for the selective separation and enrichment of copper, zinc and iron minerals from a polymetallic ore was developed, which consisted of copper flotation, zinc flotation, and iron magnetic separation, and the adsorption mechanism of the copper collector Z-200 (O-isopropyl-N-ethyl thionocarbamate) was …
Hydrometallurgy. Metallurgy consists of three general steps: (1) mining the ore, (2) separating and concentrating the metal or the metal-containing compound, and (3) reducing the ore to the metal. Additional processes are sometimes required to improve the mechanical properties of the metal or increase its purity.
Our sorting equipment or mineral processing equipment, specially developed for mining applications, enables processes to be better controlled, and through ore sorting even ores that were previously not economically viable, can be efficiently and profitably processed. And our STEINERT technology is even effective in situations in …
mineral processing, art of treating crude ores and mineral products in order to separate the valuable minerals from the waste rock, or gangue. It is the first process that most ores undergo after mining in order to provide a more concentrated material for the procedures of extractive metallurgy. The primary operations are comminution and concentration, but …
