tungsten mineral separator machine to upgrade tungsten

The beneficiation method for wolframite tungsten is gravity separation because density of wolframite tungsten is big, and gravity separation can easily remove the other materials whose density is below 3.5-4, especially for the quartz vein wolframite tungsten. This gravity separation is much more suitable for the coarse tungsten because wolframite tungsten is of large crystals.

Jiggers and shaking tables are the plants commonly used in wolframite tungsten gravity separation for the coarse & medium embedded tungsten. Screening & classifying is needed before jigging beneficiation. Jigger is usually put into the milling phrase to reduce the pelitization of the tungsten and to recover the liberated tungsten. The tungsten concentrate enriched by jigger accounts over 45% of all concentrate recovered.

Shaking table is mainly used for the ore below 1mm with its high enrichment rate. Strict classifying is necessary before the beneficiation to gain good separation efficiency. Water classifier is used to classify in the beneficiation factories.

For scheelite, floatation separation is mainly used while gravity separation is involved sometimes. However, for some scheelite tungsten ore with coarse inlay granules, gravity separation can help to get the ideal upgrading efficiency with small investment of separation plants. And if floatation separation is used for this kind of scheelite, the recovery of high-quality scheelite will be lower while plant investment will be large. In Africa, there are many scheelite tungsten mines with big coarse scheelite inlay size over 5mm, and here gravity separation can be used to recover the coarse scheelite and this lowers the schelite loss due to crushing or milling. If floatation separation is used for this coarse scheelite ore, the recovery will be lowered and this will be not so good as gravity separation. Here the scheelite tungsten gravity separator is tungsten jig separator.

Forui is a manufacturer of kinds of mining machines for beneficiation of placer gold, quartz gold, mercury, barite, fluorite, celestite, pyrite, hematite, manganese, and recovering of smelting alloy from smelting slag of silica-manganese smelting slag, chromite smelting slag, and ferro-nickel smelting slag. Free test can be done for you if samples of 10-20 kgs can be available.
