The mineral beneficiation process that the mineral processing plant needs to select and formulate should have the characteristics of mature technology, advanced technology, stable and reliable production, and high economic benefits. Because the design of the mineral beneficiation process is the primary task of the mineral processing plant design, during the process design process, attention should be paid to various conditions and influencing factors, overly subjective and one-sidedness should be avoided, and a reasonable and efficient mineral processing plan should be selected. Before process design, it is necessary to conduct mineral processing test analysis on the ore to determine the properties and characteristics of the ore. Two to three options can be basically determined through mineral processing tests, but there are still unresolved or difficult-to-determine problems during the testing process. Therefore, other factors need to be considered when designing the mineral beneficiation process. The following will introduce you to the factors that affect mineral beneficiation process design.
In process design work, the determination of product plans and product quality indicators is an important content. Doing a good job in forecasting domestic and foreign markets and investigating and researching product sales is an important way to determine product plans. Then combine the market needs, technical possibilities and economically reasonable principles to determine the appropriate process construction plan for the mineral processing plant. Comprehensive recycling and utilization is an effective way to improve resource utilization and increase production of metals and industrial minerals.
The product pre-enrichment operation should be set at an appropriate position in the crushing and grinding process, and based on the mineral processing test, according to the structural characteristics of the ore and the property differences between useful minerals and gangue minerals (such as particle size composition, shape Difference, density difference, etc.) to set. The pre-enrichment operation can discard a large amount of gangue minerals and improve the grade of the selected ore. It also has the advantages of saving equipment energy consumption, reducing production costs and reducing infrastructure investment.
The pre-operations used in the mineral processing plant include hand selection, photoelectric separation, fluorescence separation, heavy medium separation and mineral washing. When the ore selection quality is low, the clay content of the raw ore is high, or the moisture content is high, the raw ore needs to be added with pre-selection operations.
According to the requirements of sustainable development, energy conservation issues must be considered when formulating process flows. Generally speaking, the principle of "more crushing and less grinding" should be followed during the crushing and grinding process to reduce the particle size of the ore fed to the grinding machine to avoid the problem of over-crushing during the grinding process. Sometimes, stages can be used based on the ore embedded characteristics. Grinding and separation process. By setting a reasonable process flow, energy utilization can be optimized, energy consumption during the production process can be reduced, and the impact on the surrounding environment can be reduced. Paying attention to energy consumption during the process can help improve the economic benefits of the enterprise.
The scale of the mineral processing plant determines the production capacity and output, so when designing the process flow, it is necessary to consider the production efficiency and economy that adapt to the scale. Generally speaking, small mineral processing plants adopt relatively simple technological processes, while large mineral processing plants under the same conditions often adopt more complex technological processes. Determining a reasonable mineral processing plan based on the scale of the mineral processing plant can be directly related to the economic benefits of the mineral processing plant. The climate and technical and economic conditions of the factory are also factors that affect process design. When the factory is located in an arid and cold area, processes with less water or dry sorting processes will be given priority.
The design process flow should also pay attention to environmental protection, because production activities may have potential negative impacts on the environment, such as the impact of dust, poisons, wastewater, waste residue, and other harmful substances on the surrounding environment. Comprehensive management and utilization must be carried out to make the design comply with stipulated standards. Properly designed mineral processing processes can reduce waste emissions and significantly reduce adverse impacts on the environment.
The above is a brief introduction to several factors that affect the mineral processing process. In short, when formulating the process flow, sufficient mineral processing tests should be carried out. On the basis of the tests, multiple schemes should be compared in combination with the above factors, so that problems that may arise in the process can be reasonably solved and a reasonable mineral processing scheme can be selected. A reasonable and efficient mineral beneficiation process can improve the mineral processing index and concentrate recovery rate, thereby improving the economic benefits of the overall mineral processing plant.
