Experimental Study on Beneficiation of a Magma Assimilation Contamination Type Flake Graphite Ore
The ore properties and grinding-flotation conditions test,open circuit process test and closed circuit process test were carried out aiming at a magma assimilation contamination type flake graphite ore.The results showed that the ore be-longs to granite-type ore,the graphite is medium fine flake structure,and the fixed carbon content is 5.40%.The main minerals in the ore include graphite,quartz,feldspar,biotite and pyrite,among which graphite is the mineral for recovery.The sheet di-ameter of graphite is mainly 0.037~0.178 mm,of which+0.15 mm flake graphite accounts for 12.32%,and the scale protec-tion is of little significance.The raw ore was roughed once,the fineness of roughed was 54%,the amount of roughed kerosene was 60 g/t,the amount of No.2 oil was 48 g/t,and the rough concentrate was reground nine times and cleaned 10 times.The high carbon graphite concentrate products with yield of 5.52%,the fixed carbon grade of 94.52%,and the recovery rate of 96.67%was obtained finally.In the concentrate,-0.045 mm grade products account for 36.09%,and the product slice diame-ter is small,which can be used to prepare deep processing products such as spherical graphite.Purified graphite with fixed car-bon content of 99.58%could be obtained by chemical purification using flotation concentrate by acid leaching and alkali melt-ing.
