Tantalite has big specific gravity density and weak magnetism, and the composition is complex, so the beneficiation canbe different.
Here is some sharing about the jig gravity separation of tantalite ore. The density of TaNb mineral is big while the magnetism is weak. Rough separation and fine selection will be needed to get high grade TaNb mineral concentrate.
At this moment, the main beneficiation way for Tantalite and niobite ore is gravity separation with its lowest plant investment. However, for the micro fine inlay tantalite and niobite ore, the efficiency will be not so good while the recovery rate is low. Plants of jigging machine, spiral washing machine, shaking table, and centrifugal separator are involved in gravity processing line for tantalite and niobite.
For some uneven inlay TaNb mineral separation, the raw ore shall be crushed t be 10-15mm, and the rod mill will be involved to to make the ore to be -2mm, and then the output from the rod mill can go for jigger for rough separation. Then the shaking table will be involved to upgrade the concentrate from the jigger furtherly. The tailings from the shaking table can go for spiral washing machine to get the coarse grains of TaNb and the concentrate from spiral washing plant can be upgraded by shaking table. And final TaNb concentrate can be gained.
Here in Gongyi Forui Machinery Factory in China, there are mini trial machines and if your ore samples about 20kgs can be available, we can do a mini ore beneficiation test for you free. And your further contact is highly appreciated.
