Bornite, also known as peacock ore due to its iridescent tarnish, is a copper iron sulfide mineral with the chemical composition Cu5FeS4. It is an important copper ore mineral and is widely mined for its copper content. This article explores the properties of bornite and the various methods employed in its beneficiation.
In summary, the recovery methods for valuable metal minerals such as molybdenum, tungsten, copper, iron, and sulfur in molybdenum tailings often use flotation, while the recovery methods for magnetic minerals often use magnetic separation. With the increasing particle size of mineral mining in the future, there will be fewer and fewer available raw ores, and the value of molybdenum tailings will become higher. How to fully recover valuable minerals from molybdenum tailings and make full use of them will be a greater challenge for the future!
Gold and silver belong to precious metals and are mainly used in jewelry processing, electronics, medical, and construction fields in modern times. In recent years, with the deepening of mining and utilization of gold and silver mines, more and more low-grade oxidized gold and silver mines have become selection targets. This article introduces a comparative experiment on the beneficiation process of oxidized gold and silver ore. Flotation, gravity separation, and full mud cyanide tests were conducted on the ore, and the full mud cyanide method ultimately won.
The commonly used methods for hematite beneficiation include magnetic separation, gravity separation, magnetic roasting magnetic separation combination, and magnetic separation flotation combination. For low-grade and high sulfur hematite, it is necessary to develop a suitable beneficiation process based on mineral composition analysis, phase analysis results, etc.
Sulfur iron lead zinc ore is an important metal ore, and its flotation process plays a crucial role in mining. This article will introduce the flotation process of pyrite lead zinc ore, including its process principle, main steps, and equipment application.
Nickel has the characteristics of high mechanical strength, good ductility, refractory and high-temperature resistance, and high chemical stability. Therefore, it is widely used in fields such as stainless steel and new energy, and has become an indispensable metal in the construction of modern systems. There are many types of nickel ores, and according to their mineral properties, nickel ores are mainly divided into sulfide copper nickel ores and oxide nickel ores, with completely different beneficiation and processing methods. This article will discuss the beneficiation method of sulfide copper nickel ore.
