Beneficiation Processes

Fluorspar Beneficiation Process Plant

The Fluorspar Beneficiation Problem Acid grade fluorspar which is in great demand by the chemical and aluminum industries, must contain at least 97.5% CaF2 with not more than 1.5% SiO2 and 0.5% Fe2O3. Often the Silica is limited to 1.2% with penalties starting at 1.0% SiO2. These limitations on grade and impurities require extremely close … Read more

Silica Sand Processing & Sand Washing Plant Equipment

Silica sand low in iron is much in demand for glass, ceramic and pottery use, and for many of these applications clean, white sand is desired. Impurities such as clay slime, iron stain, and heavy minerals including iron oxides, garnet, chromite, zircon, and other accessory minerals must not be present. Chromium, for example, must not … Read more

Nonmetallic Minerals Process Method

The following paper deals with the problems that have arisen in the application of the flotation process to the beneficiation of non-metallic ores by flotation. The most important of these ores are listed and the commercial specifications of the desired products are given. The problems caused by the complexity of many of the raw ore … Read more

Feldspar Beneficiation & Flotation Process

Beneficiation by Flotation of feldspar is well established. It is a simple matter by flotation to remove the contaminating impurities and keep the alumina (Al2O3) content at 19% even on low grade feldspar ores. Dry recovery methods are economically limited to about 17% Al2O3. The problem in feldspar flotation is to recover slime free granular … Read more

Diamond Processing Flow Chart of Beneficiation

This is a Diamond Processing Chart as it was done in the 1950s. World demand and production of diamond both for gem and industrial purposes has increased nearly five-fold during the past 25 years. Improved mining and recovery methods together with the discovery and development of new fields has enabled mining operations to fill the … Read more
