Fluorite is a fluorine-containing mineral widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, glass, ceramics, and other fields. In the process of fluorite ore selection, the grade of fluorite is a very important parameter. However, the grade of fluorite in some ores is not high, only about 20%. How to select these ores has become a problem that mining workers need to solve. In this article, we will solve the problem of "how to beneficiate fluorite ore with a grade of 20%?" for you.

The properties of fluorite

Fluorite is an important fluoride mineral, and its main chemical component is calcium fluoride (CaF2). It is a white or pale yellow solid that is insoluble in water and has good optical properties and chemical stability. Fluorite has a wide range of applications in industries such as metallurgy, chemical industry, glass, ceramics, etc., and is one of the important industrial raw materials.

How to  beneficiate 20% fluorite ore?

The grade of fluorite ore is an important parameter for measuring its economic value. Generally speaking, the higher the grade of fluorite ore, the greater its value. However, the grade of fluorite in some mines is not high, only about 20%. How should this ore be treated? The following process methods can usually be used.

1. Reselection process

In the ore selection process, gravity separation is a commonly used mineral processing technique. The re selection process separates useful minerals from useless minerals in the ore through physical separation, thereby improving the grade of useful minerals. The gravity separation process can play a good role in selecting 20% of fluorite ore.

2. Magnetic separation process

Magnetic separation is a commonly used physical beneficiation method that separates useful minerals from useless minerals in ore by distinguishing the magnetic properties of magnetic minerals from non-magnetic minerals. For 20% of fluorite ore, magnetic separation process can separate the magnetic minerals, thereby improving the grade of fluorite.

3. Flotation process

Flotation is a commonly used mineral processing method that separates useful minerals from useless minerals in ore through differences in mineral adsorption, settling, and buoyancy, thereby achieving the goal of improving the grade of fluorite.

4. Joint process

We know that the selection process for fluorite ore depends on the type of gangue minerals, which are usually complex and cannot be limited to just one or two. Therefore, a joint process is needed to adopt targeted methods for different impurities in order to achieve the desired effect.

Choose the correct beneficiation process

In order to effectively improve the separation rate of 20% fluorite, the selection of mineral processing technology is very important. When choosing a beneficiation process, factors such as ore properties, ore particle size, types and contents of impurities contained in the ore need to be considered. Generally speaking, the beneficiation process for 20% fluorite ore can include methods such as gravity separation, flotation, and magnetic separation.

Properly adjust the drug ratio

The ratio of reagents also has a significant impact on the selection of 20% fluorite ore. When conducting mineral flotation, adjusting the reagent ratio can change the chemical properties of the reagent, affect the surface properties of the mineral during the flotation process, and thus improve the sorting rate.

The selection of 20% fluorite ore not only requires the support of beneficiation equipment, but also requires fine adjustments in beneficiation experiments, selection of beneficiation processes, and reagent ratios before ore sorting. By scientifically and reasonably adjusting the beneficiation process and reagent ratio, the separation rate can be effectively improved, thereby achieving efficient utilization of ores.
