Experimental Study of Flotation on High Intensity Magnetic Concentrates of Ilmenite

Abstract:

In order to improve the separating index of ilmenite to separate the concentrate by high intensity magnetic separation, the Heishan iron ore in Chengde did some work. Separate the sulfide ore out by flotation under the conditions of concentration by weight in feed 32%, consumption of xanthate 200g/t and 2^# oil 40g/t. Use sulfate to adjust the pH of the low sulphur product of flotation, the mixture of EM351-2 and EM351-3 as foaming agent, after one roughinging and four fold concentrating, got the final titanium concentrate, the grade of which is 47.23%, and the recovery is 58.29%. During the procedure of roughing, the consumption of the reagent as follows: sulfate 2kg/t, EM351-3 1kg/t, EM351-2 900g/t. The consumption of sulfate during fourfold concentrating is 1kg/t. The index is more stable when the concentration in feed is 18%~26% during flotation. The index is stable during the continuous 26 work time for the process under this reagent system. The screen analysis of the flotation concentrate indicates that this reagent system has a better effect on the flotation of +0.074mm particles, and a bad effect on the flotation of-0.045mm particles.
