Test of Gravity Separation Tailings Re-recovery of a Vanadium-titanium Magnetite in Westem Panzhihua
In order to recycle the titanium resources in the total tailings of an ultra-low grade vanadi-um-titanium magnetite in Westem Panzhihua,based on the study of tailings properties,the re-recovery test of gravity tailings was carried out.The test results show that the flotation sample with total iron grade of 19.07% and TiO2 grade of 18.25% can be obtained by high intensity magnetic separation-classification-low intensity magnetic separation process.The qualified titanium concentrate with TiO2 grade of 47.27% and TiO2 recovery of 70.78% can be obtained by open-circuit flotation with desulfurization-1 roughing and 3 cleaning of the ore samples entering flotation.The coarse-grained minerals after classification are subjected to gravity separation process,under the condition that the interception ratio of the concentrate and tailings of the shaking table surface is 2:8,the titanium raw material with the concentrate yield of 6.46%,the total iron grade of 13.41% and the TiO2 grade of 8.83% can be obtained.It can be incorporated into the main sys-tem to separate and recycle the titanium metal again,so as to obtain higher comprehensive utilization rate of titanium resources.
