Abstract: Dongguashan copper ore is one of a complex copper sulphide ores containing various metal minerals in Tong ling area. In this paper, in order to simplify the complexity of traditional lime process, the process of Cu-S bulk flotation-regrinding-separation is discussed and exploited. A good quality of Cu concentrate and S concentrate are obtained respectively after Cu-S separation by using calcium hypochlorite as depressant. A good separation results are derived through this process, and high efficiency of calcium hypochlorite used as depressant and feasibility of the process are confirmed.

Abstract: The beneficiation of Anshan-type low-grade hematite ores attracts more and more attention. Complicated beneficiation flow sheets are necessary to deal this type of ores. Classification-gravity concentration technology is used widely in these flow sheets because of its characteristics. In this paper, grinding characteristics and classification-gravity concentration tests were carried out based on the ore’s mineralogical characteristics. When the ground size of the ore was 75% -0.071mm, through beneficiation by the flow sheet of classification-gravity concentration-middle intensity magnetic separation discarding, a satisfactory concentrate assaying 67.58% Fe, 47.51% recovery was obtained, and the iron grade and yield of the tailings were 5.93% and 39.77% respectively. The controlling of the size distribution and the behavior of finer hematite grains is important and efficiency in beneficiation of Anshan-type hematite ores.

Abstract: To investigate the pulverizing characteristic of wood biomass, the dried woody chip with moisture content of 0wt % were chose as the raw material, cutting mill was used to pulverize the wood biomass at different feed rates, the particle sizes (characteristic particle size and average particle size), uniformity coefficient, density, aspect ratio of wood powder and the specific energy consumption were measured, the morphology of the woody particle was observed by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), the pulverizing mechanism was also discussed. The results indicate that the specific energy consumption is in a range from 47 to 91 kWh/t; the characteristic particle size is about 600 μm, the average particle size is 750μm or so, and both characteristic particle size and average particle size increase with the growth of feed rate largely; the uniformity coefficient is range from 1.34 to 1.72; the bulk density is about 0.20 g/cm3, the tap density is about 0.30 g/cm3, both bulk density and tap density increase with the increase of the feed rate; the aspect ratio is in a range from 2.16 to 3.07.

Abstract: Occurrence state of rare earth elements in the different deoxidization stages and the behavior of rare earth elements in the process of depth reduction were studied by analyzing XRD and SEM images of Bayan Obo oxide ore in different deoxidization time. The results showed that deoxidization time had a great effect on the occurrence state of rare earth elements. With the increase of deoxidization time, rare earth minerals gradually translated from bastnaesite and urdite into (CaO•2Ce2O3•3SiO2).This phase was white with a small size. It was columnar or massive in most cases and could be easily separated from the iron phase. 97.18% of the rare earth elements, which could be recovered by flotation, gravity separation and magnetic separation, entered the iron tailings.

Abstract: Semi-arid region of Soil repair in Mine spoils is a problem of worthy of attention and research, this paper assesses Fuxin mining area and YuanBaoShan mining area for test site, five kinds of site types are divided based on the investigation of mine spoils damage situation, and testing each sitetype of soil physical properties and the change of soil nutrient systematically, and doing the five kinds of sitetypes’phytoremediation research based on it. The evaluation results indicate: Mine spoils soil along with the increasing length of stopping discharging the gangue, the soil physical and chemical characteristics improve gradually. Through the research of vegetation and soil interaction relations we get the best Reclamation vegetation types of the Mine spoils. Mine spoils is an important form of land degradation, is one of the major environmental problems of today's world. This paper assesses Fuxin mining area and YuanBaoShan mining area for test site, testing each site type of soil physical properties and the change of soil nutrient systematically, and on the basis of experiments, putting forward the best Reclamation vegetation types for mine spoils.

Abstract: The paper studied on andalusite ore containing 6.58% carbon from FengCheng, Liaoning province for mineral processing. The study on the technical mineralogy of the ore showed that the main mineral were andalusite, biotite and quartz. The well results were obtained by adopting grinding-desliming-decarburization-flotation-magnetic separation and using sodium petroleum sulfonate as collecter. The mechanism of flotation reagents was analyzed in the end of the paper.

Abstract: With the rise of gold prices, a large amount of gold resources will be exploited, which leads to more and more refractory gold ore appeared. It has very important practical significance to accelerate the development of refractory gold resources. This paper has done the separation tests of low-grade gold ore with high sulfur and arsenic from Tianmashan, Tong Ling in China. The chemical elements component, mineral composition, and the dissemination of mineral and gold have been analyzed. The separation flowsheet tests have been explored, and the preliminary results and appropriate reagent regime have been obtained.

Abstract: There are nearly 500 million tons of hematite ores carbonate-containing in Donganshang, China. However, the flotation flowsheet previously of in that area was seriously affected by the siderite. Therefore, many ores could not be processed by ordinary methods. In this study, mixed magnetic concentrate in scene was beneficiated by stepped-flotation, in which siderite was separated in first direct flotation step to eliminate its negative influence on hematite flotation, and then the high quality hematite concentrate could be obtained by second reverse flotation step. When the feed was mixed magnetic concentrate in scene with total iron grade of 42.84% and siderite content of 4.04%, an iron concentrate with iron grade of 67.84% and iron recovery of 69.47% was obtained in closed circuit of stepped-flotation.

Abstract: With the decreasing of aluminum/silicon ratio in bauxite, the original technical process make Ore dressing-Bayer process used for producing alumina lost competitiveness. In this experiment, the low-grade bauxite with A/S ratio of about 4 is used as raw material and its composition and dissemination characteristics are analyzed. The selective grinding study shows that the separation by the particle size classification is difficult to improve the A/S ratio of concentrate mineral. Through the flotation experiments, the technological condition for improving the A/S ratio of diaspore by direct--flotation was discussed; the technological and economic indicators of the different beneficiation process were also compared.

Abstract: Using Octadecyltrimethylammonium cations with long carbon chain to modify calcium montmorillonite samples, the adsorption properties of different dyes on montmorillonite before and after modification were investigated. Results showed that the basic dye of methylene blue was easily adsorbed by natual calcium montmorillonite, while the adsorption ability for acid blue and neutral blue was greatly improved when it was organically modified, and the adsorption amount increased with the increasing of modifier dosage. The adsorption ratio was influnced by reaction time, the temperature and the solution’s pH value. It suggested that the adsorption balance time was about 60min; higher temperature was good for acid blue adsorbed on organic montmorillonite, but neutral blue’s adsorption amount was greater at the room temperature; the optimum pH was 9 for methylene blue adsorption, while low pH was better for acid blue and neutral blue adsorption.
