Is Manual Washing Enough for Tin, Monazite & Zircon Ore Processing in Nigeria?
In the heart of Nigeria’s Adamawa region, miners are hard at work, manually washing raw ore to remove large rocks and silica, as seen in the image above. This initial step is crucial, but to achieve high-grade tin ore processing plant outputs, the Processing of Zircon, and the Processing of Monazite Sands, further advanced techniques are essential.
While manual screening and washing are effective for small-scale operations, they are labor-intensive and time-consuming. To meet the demands of larger capacities and achieve higher purity levels, miners need to incorporate more sophisticated methods. The use of gravity separators and magnetic separators is pivotal in this regard.
Advanced Processing Techniques
In larger processing plants, the sequence typically involves:
1. Spiral Chute for Silica Removal: As requested by miners, using spiral chutes (like the one shown below) can efficiently wash out silica from the ore.
2. Shaking Table for Further Purification: Following the spiral chute, a shaking table can further refine the ore by removing residual silica.
3. Single Roller Magnetic Separator: This step separates magnetic materials such as iron and ilmenite.
4. Three Discs Electromagnetic Separator: Finally, this advanced separator is used to extract high-grade tin, monazite, and zircon.
For smaller operations, a simplified process can be employed:
1. Manual Screening and Washing
2. Shaking Table for Silica Removal
3. Single Roller Magnetic Separator
4. Three Discs Electromagnetic Separator
