Scientific Application Cases In Mineral Processing Reagent Practice

Common mineral types and reagent application effects

In lithium ore beneficiation, reverse flotation effectively removes silicate impurities by using cationic collectors, thereby improving the grade of lithium. In gold ore beneficiation, cyanidation is the main method. By using environmentally friendly beneficiation agents instead of traditional sodium cyanide, not only the gold recovery rate is improved, but also environmental pollution is reduced.

Comparative analysis of different mineral recovery rates

Studies have shown that the use of different reagents under the same conditions will result in significant differences in mineral recovery rates. For example, when processing copper ore, xanthate collectors show a higher recovery rate, while in lithium ore, cationic collectors are more effective.

Comprehensive methods to improve mineral recovery rates

To comprehensively improve mineral recovery rates, it is necessary to use a variety of beneficiation technologies, such as flotation, gravity separation, roasting and leaching. In addition, by optimizing the type and concentration of reagents and controlling the pH value and temperature of the slurry, the recovery efficiency of minerals can be further improved.
