Ore Processing Equipment of Flotation Separator for Quartz Sand Dressing

Ore processing equipment of Flotation separator for quartz sand dressing

Quartz sand purification is removal of a small amount of impurities and the high difficulty separation technique to obtain refined quartz sand or high purity quartz sand. The purification technologies of quartz sand at home and abroad are washing, classifying & desliming, scrubbing, magnetic separation, flotation, acid leaching, microbial leaching, etc.

Flotation separator working principle:

Mix the mashed rocks with water and necessary reagent in the mixing chute, and inject them to the pulp chute. Lead air to the pulp to make it form large quantities of bubbles, and some mineral particles that are difficult to get moist in water and that are generally called hydrophobic mineral particles will stick on the bubbles and float with the bubbles to the surface of the pulp to form mineralized bubble layer, and some other mineral particles that are easy to get moist in water and that are called hydrophilic mineral particles do not stick on the bubbles but stay in the pulp to discharge the mineralized bubbles containing specific minerals, thus completing the separation process.

Flotation separator technical parameter:

Flotation separator for quartz sand:

Washing and classifying desliming :

The SiO2 grade in quartz sand decreases by quartz sand size becoming finer, so washing and desliming of crude quartz sand is necessary before next step.
Scrubbing
Scrubbing is the way to remove slimed iron and impurity minerals on the surface of quartz by mechanical force and crush these mineral aggregate. The quartz sand gets further purification by classification. There are two kinds of methods rob scrubbing and mechanical scrubbing.
Flotation
The separation of mica and quartz is difficult, the effective methods: anionic collector in acid condition and anionic - cationic collector in alkaline condition. The purification of quartz sand can reach 99% after scrubbing, desliming, magnetic separation and flotation.
Acid Leaching
Dilute acid had a significant effect on removing iron and aluminum, and concentrated acid for the removal of titanium and chromium, and mixed acid for mineral impurity. Control various factors of acid leaching should be based on quartz final grade requirements, and as far as possible reduce the acid concentration, temperature and dosage to achieve quartz purification.
