Tailings dry stacking，mineral dressing no longer called “the king of water waste”

Mine industry was called “the king of water waste” with 5-15 tons of water consumption per ton of ore in mineral dressing.
From 1994 to 2000, the national water consumption of mineral dressing reaches 20,395,101,000 tons. The acid and alkali water capacity are 6,285,485,000 tons. In the 532 rivers, there are more than 436 rivers are polluted by mine drainage.
The exploitation of mineral resources is the important foundation for national development, but facing to a large water consumption number in mining process and the pollution of the living water, people have been difficult to bear.
How to change "wastewater most" phenomenon? First, carry out the effective treatment of mine wastewater realizing secondary utilization. Second, save industrial and domestic water in the mining area. Third, in addition to enhance people's consciousness of saving water, the most important is the research and development of new advanced equipment to improve the utilization of water resources.
The final waste product of ore dressing is tailings which consist of ore waste residue and a lot of water. If the water of tailings slurry is separated back to the factory for reusing, it will greatly improve the water resources problem of mine. How to carry out the solid-liquid separation of tailings?
The tailings treatment equipment firstly appeared in the United States, which processed tailings slurry by thickening, dehydrating and dry stacking. By this way, water will be recycled and reused. This equipment reduced the tailings dam break.
In China, Yantai Xinhai mining group brings the earliest introduction of tailings disposal called the tailings dry stacking. Tailings dry stacking system composing of concentrated hydrocyclone, efficient thickener, multi-frequency dewatering screen can dehydrate any mineral with dehydration effect reaching 85%. This system realizes the tailing water recycle use, and reduces consumption of raw water.
Experiments show that: in ore dressing plant of an annual tailings discharge emission of 1000000 tons, Xinhai dry way tailings discharge system recycles 2000000 tons water per year. By 1.5 yuan/T, the annual savings of water charges 3000000 yuan/year. Mining beneficiation will get rid of the title “the king of water waste” by recycling water.

Guide of Gold Processing Equipment

图片
  The gold ore has a high mining value, the gold processing technologies are more complex, and the gold processing equipment used is not the same. At present, the common gold processing technologies mainly include the cyanide leaching method, flotation method and gravity separation method. That is, through the crushing, screening, grinding and classification, the ore is sent to the various  gold processing equipment  (leaching agitation tank, flotation cell, gravity separator) for separation. The concentrate obtained by the cyanide leaching, gravity separation and flotation are smelted by the chemical methods, and the product is finally made into the finished gold. Below, we will mainly explain the gold processing equipment used in the different stages of gold processing. One. Gold processing equipment used in the cyanide leaching method Cyanide leaching is one of the main gold processing methods, which can be divided into agitation cyanide leaching and percolation cyanide leaching.

Common Problems and Solutions of Jigging Process

图片
  Jigging process  has the advantages of good separation effect, large processing capacity, wide separation granularity range, less investment, low production cost, simple process system, etc., so it is widely used in the  gravity separation  process. As an important equipment in the gravity separation process, the operation of jigger is directly related to the product quality and the economic benefits of the concentrator. In case of abnormal problems of jig, which may affect the normal work of the subsequent process flow, it should be dealt with in time. Therefore, it is very important to understand the common problems of the jigging process and how to deal with them. Here are some common problems of jig in the jigging process and their solutions. 1. The screen plate is loose or broken During the jigging process, if the screen plate bounces with the pulsating water, the screws of the screen plate are loosened or dropped. If a column of water appears at a certain part of the bed during

Seven Common Froth Flotation Processes and Their Applicable Conditions

图片
Froth flotation   process is a kind of mineral processing technology that uses the flotation reagents to separate the ore according to the physical and chemical properties of the surface of the ore. The froth flotation process is to grind the mineral to the floating requirement, adjust the pulp concentration and add the flotation reagents, then inflate the air to make the mineralized froth separate. What are the common froth flotation processes? Do you know the application condition of the froth flotation process? 1. Preferential froth flotation process The preferential froth flotation process refers to float a kind of mineral first and inhibit another kind of mineral when the polymetallic mineral contains two or more kinds of useful components, and then activate and float other kinds of mineral. This process that recycles the useful minerals in turn is the preferential froth flotation process. Applicable condition: Generally, the preferential froth flotation process is
