Is Tungsten Ore Processing the Key to Your Mining Success?
In the realm of precious metals, tungsten ore minerals hold a special place, often referred to as the “teeth of industry” due to their indispensable role in various industrial applications. Tungsten ore is a rare and valuable resource, primarily composed of two key minerals: wolframite and scheelite. These minerals often coexist, with wolframite being a tungstate and scheelite a calcium tungstate, yet both share similar properties and uses.
The Importance of Tungsten Ore Processing
The journey from raw ore of tungsten to a valuable industrial material involves meticulous processing. Tungsten ore processing is crucial for maximizing the recovery of tungsten minerals and ensuring the highest quality end product. This process is particularly important for two types of tungsten sand ore:
1.Discarded Tungsten Tailings: These are residues from previous mining operations with low tungsten grades, making them difficult and costly to process. Large-scale equipment and significant investment are typically required, which may not be feasible for small to medium-sized enterprises.
2.River Sediment Tungsten Sand Ore: This type of ore is formed through natural sedimentation processes and generally has a higher tungsten content, making it more accessible for processing.
Advanced Processing Techniques
The tungsten ore processing journey begins with the separation of sand particles. Typically, particles less than 3mm are mixed with tungsten ore. The first step involves screening, where coarse particles are separated for sand-making, and fine particles proceed to the jig for further separation. This initial separation can enrich the tungsten content to more than 10 times its original grade.
The next critical step is the use of a 6S table shaking for sorting. Here, precise control over the shaker’s slope, water consumption, stroke, and punching times is essential. The effectiveness of this process can significantly impact the overall recovery rate.
At Dasen Mining, we specialize in providing cutting-edge solutions for tungsten ore processing. Our expertise in gravitational separation techniques, combined with the use of advanced equipment like sawtooth jigs and 6S table shaking, ensures optimal recovery of tungsten minerals.
