  • Do You Really Know about Feldspar? Do You Really Know about Feldspar? May 18, 2024
    What is feldspar? Feldspar is the most important rock-forming mineral in surface rocks. It is also a common type of aluminum silicate rock-forming mineral containing calcium, sodium and potassium. There are many types of feldspar minerals, including potassium feldspar, albite, anorthite, etc. Rarer feldspars also include barium feldspar, amazonite, etc. According to different crystal structures and compositions, feldspar can also be subdivided into plagioclase, microcline, orthoclase, striated feldspar and other varieties. These feldspars vary in color, form and transparency. They may be colorless, white, yellow, pink, green, gray or black, and may be transparent or translucent. Furthermore, the basic structural unit of feldspar is a tetrahedron, each of which shares an oxygen atom with another tetrahedron, forming a three-dimensional skeleton, with alkali or alkaline earth metal cations located in the large voids within these skeletons.  What is feldspar used for? Feldspar is widely used in many fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties Architectural decoration field: Feldspar has high durability and aesthetics and can be used to decorate building exteriors and indoor walls. It is not only beautiful but also has a long service life. Glass industry: Albite in feldspar can be used as a raw material for glass fiber. It has chemical corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and can significantly improve the quality and performance of glass materials. In addition, feldspar can also be used as a processing and forming aid for glass to improve the speed and accuracy of glass forming. Ceramic industry: Feldspar is an important ceramic raw material and can be used to make ceramic products such as ceramic tiles, pottery, and porcelain. Feldspar has high high temperature resistance and strength, which can improve the toughness and hardness of ceramic products while improving their aesthetics. Chemical industry: Feldspar is rich in aluminum and silicon elements and can be used as raw materials for manufacturing paints, coatings, fertilizers, rubber and other chemical products. In addition, feldspar can also be used as a fire retardant, filler, synergist, etc. to improve the quality and grade of chemical products. How to use feldspar? Feldspar processing technology mainly involves mining, crushing, grinding, screening and other steps. First, raw feldspar is obtained through mining, and then crushed and ground to achieve the desired particle size and shape. Next, the feldspar is sorted by particle size through screening to meet the needs of different fields. During the processing, attention must also be paid to protecting the feldspar to avoid contamination or damage. How to sort feldspar? Feldspar sorting technology is a process of classifying and purifying feldspar in raw ore according to different quality, particle size and chemical composition. Through sorting, feldspar products that meet the requirements of specific application fields can be obtained, improving resource utilization and product added value. At the same time, sorting technology can also help reduce the difficulty and cost of subsequent processing and improve production efficiency. Main methods for traditional sorting of feldspar:Hand selection: Mainly suitable for better quality ores, such as feldspar mined from pegmatite. Workers manually sort according to differences in appearance, color, crystal shape, etc., and remove impurity minerals such as plagioclase, mica, and garnet. Water washing, desliming and grading: For the feldspar in white weathered granite or feldspathic placer, impurities such as clay and fine mud are removed through water washing and desliming. Grading divides feldspar into different grades of products based on differences in particle size. Advanced Technology for Feldspar Sorting: Machine vision technology: The machine vision system replaces the traditional human eye for color sorting to achieve the separation of feldspar from gangue minerals such as muscovite and quartz. This technology has higher accuracy and stability and is suitable for automated sorting of large-scale production lines. Magnetic separation technology: Separate by utilizing the magnetic differences between feldspar and impurities such as iron oxide, mica and garnet. Magnetic separation technology can effectively remove magnetic impurities in feldspar and improve the purity of the product. Flotation technology: Based on the difference in surface properties between feldspar and gangue minerals such as mica and quartz, separation is achieved using flotation machines, flotation columns and other equipment. By adjusting the type and dosage of chemicals during the flotation process, the flotation effect can be optimized and the quality of feldspar products can be improved. Our MINGDE AI sorting machine adopts advanced machine vision technology and uses artificial intelligence methods such as deep convolutional neural network (CNN).Analyze and process material images in the field of visible light optoelectronic sorting. During the training process, multi-dimensional features of materials are automatically extracted and established through CNN local connection, weight sharing, multi-convolution kernel and other methods to establish a database. The sorting effect is far better than traditional photoelectric sorting. In short, feldspar as an important mineral resource, has wide applications in many fields. With the advancement of science and technology and economic development, the application fields of feldspar will be further expanded and deepened. At the same time, we should also strengthen the protection and rational utilization of feldspar resources to achieve sustainable development.  
  • Causes and Solutions Affecting Low Efficiency of Mineral Processing! Causes and Solutions Affecting Low Efficiency of Mineral Processing! May 31, 2024
    1. Which links in the mineral processing process are likely to affect efficiency? In the mineral processing technology, multiple links may affect the mineral processing efficiency, and the following links are more likely to have a significant impact on the mineral processing efficiency: (1) Pre-election preparation stage: Crushing and Screening: Ore crushing and screening are key steps before mineral processing, which directly affect the efficiency and effect of subsequent mineral processing. In the crushing operation, if the crusher is improperly selected or operated, it may lead to insufficient or excessive crushing of the ore, affecting the efficiency of subsequent grinding and mineral processing. Screening is used to classify the crushed ore according to particle size to provide suitable raw materials for the processing. Grinding and Classification: Grinding is the continuation of the ore crushing process, and its purpose is to separate various useful mineral particles in the ore into monomers for selection. The selection of grinding mills and the control of the grinding process are crucial to the efficiency of mineral processing. The classification operation affects the classification particle size and processing capacity by adjusting parameters such as the size of the classification area, the height of the overflow weir and the speed of the spiral, thereby affecting the efficiency of mineral processing. Selection stage: The properties of the ore, the selection of the beneficiation equipment and the selection of the beneficiation method will affect the efficiency of the beneficiation stage. For example, the particle size of the mineral has an important influence on the flotation efficiency. Too fine a particle size will deteriorate the flotation effect. The selection of the flotation machine speed will also affect the stirring intensity of the slurry and the flotation effect. Dehydration stage after selection: The concentrate obtained by wet beneficiation usually contains a lot of water. The efficiency of the dehydration stage directly affects the quality and output of the concentrate. The dehydration stage includes processes such as concentration, filtration and drying. The effects of these processes are affected by factors such as equipment performance, operation level and the properties of the original ore. Slurry concentration: Appropriate pulp concentration has an important impact on flotation efficiency. Within a certain range, increasing pulp concentration is conducive to the collision and contact between minerals and reagents, thereby improving flotation efficiency. However, excessive pulp concentration will increase reagent consumption, deteriorate aeration effect, and reduce flotation efficiency. Operation and management: The skill level and management level of operators also have an important impact on mineral processing efficiency. Modern and digital management methods can optimize the mineral processing process and improve production efficiency. At the same time, strengthening the management and awareness of mining companies and avoiding management and awareness deviations are also important measures to improve mineral processing efficiency. To sum up, many links in the mineral processing process may affect the efficiency, but factors such as the preparation stage before mineral processing, the separation stage, the dehydration stage after mineral processing, as well as slurry concentration and operation management have the most significant impact on mineral processing efficiency. By optimizing these links and factors, the mineral processing efficiency can be significantly improved, production costs can be reduced, and the sustainable development of the mine can be achieved. 2. In order to optimize the links that affect efficiency in the mineral processing process, we can consider and implement them from the following aspects: (1) Grinding and grading operations: Optimize grinding process parameters: According to the characteristics of the ore, study the grinding index and formulate appropriate grinding process parameters. For the ore dressing plant with "over-grinding" phenomenon, selective grinding technology can be considered. Use efficient grading equipment: Although spiral classifiers are commonly used, their grading efficiency is generally only 20% to 40%. Consider introducing efficient grading equipment such as hydrocyclones or high-frequency vibrating fine screens to improve grading efficiency. However, attention should be paid to the stability of hydrocyclones. (2) Selection of work: Select or improve mineral processing equipment: In flotation operations, the selection of flotation machines is crucial. According to the characteristics of the ore and the flotation process, select or design a suitable flotation machine. At the same time, pay attention to the development of flotation reagents and processes, and adopt the latest flotation technology and reagents. Optimize flotation conditions: According to the properties of the ore, adjust the parameters such as pulp concentration, stirring intensity, and aeration volume during the flotation process to obtain the best flotation effect. (3) Dehydration operation: Introduce advanced dehydration equipment: such as disc vacuum filter, which not only has large processing capacity and good dehydration effect, but also has low energy consumption. Optimize the dehydration process: By adjusting various links in the dehydration process, such as pre-dehydration, filter pressing, etc., the dehydration efficiency can be improved and the moisture content in the concentrate can be reduced. (4) Slurry concentration control: Real-time monitoring and adjustment: By real-time monitoring of pulp concentration, timely adjust the amount of water added during grinding and flotation to ensure that the pulp concentration is within the optimal range. Optimize the use of reagents: During the flotation process, adjust the amount and type of reagents according to the pulp concentration to obtain the best flotation effect. (5) Operation and management: Improve operator skills: Through training and skill improvement, ensure that operators have the necessary mineral processing knowledge and skills and can operate mineral processing equipment proficiently. Introduce a modern management system: Use a digital and automated management system to monitor all aspects of the mineral processing process in real time to improve production efficiency and product quality. Strictly follow the principles of comprehensiveness and pertinence to carry out equipment transformation to ensure that the transformation work can truly improve economic benefits and production efficiency. (6) Strengthen the management of mining companies: Correct the deviations in the management and cognition of mining companies, ensure that managers have geological knowledge and mineral processing experience, and avoid non-geological personnel from conducting mineral processing according to the management model of other industries. Establish a reasonable assessment mechanism, avoid taking economic benefits as the only criterion, and ensure that the basic status of geological exploration work is valued. Through the implementation of the above measures, the links that affect efficiency in the mineral processing process can be optimized, the mineral processing efficiency can be improved, the production cost can be reduced, and the sustainable development of the mine can be achieved. (7) Continuous research and innovation: Encourage and support scientific researchers to conduct research and innovation in mineral processing technology, and continuously develop new mineral processing methods and processes. Strengthen exchanges and cooperation with other countries and regions, and introduce advanced mineral processing technology and equipment.

    1. Definition and main components of limestone Limestone is a common sedimentary rock, the main component of which is calcium carbonate (chemical formula: CaCO₃). Limestone can be directly processed into stone and burned into quicklime. Quicklime becomes slaked lime after adding water. The main component is calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), which is often used in building materials and industrial raw materials. 2. Physical and chemical properties of limestone The physical properties of limestone include density, porosity, hardness, strength, decomposition temperature, thermal expansion coefficient, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, color, etc. For example, the density of limestone is approximately between 2.65 and 2.80 g/cm³, the hardness is between 2 and 4 on the Mohsscale, and the reference value of compressive strength is approximately 7.85 to 196.14 Mpa. The chemical properties of limestone mainly depend on the chemical properties of its main component, calcium carbonate. When heated to 898~910℃ under normal pressure, limestone will decompose into lime and carbon dioxide. The calcium carbonate in limestone reacts with almost all strong acids to form corresponding calcium salts and release carbon dioxide at the same time. In addition, the solubility of calcium carbonate in limestone in water containing carbon dioxide is much higher than that in water without carbon dioxide, because calcium carbonate generates more soluble calcium bicarbonate at this time. 3. Application of Limestone Limestone is widely used in building materials, roads, metallurgy, chemical industry and other industries.

  • Sorting and Application of Silica Ore Sorting and Application of Silica Ore Jul 16, 2024
    Overview of silica ore Silica ore is a non-metallic mineral with silica-rich minerals as the main component, mainly including quartz sandstone, quartzite and other forms. The classification of silica ore is complex and diverse, and can be distinguished according to the environment, composition, structure, etc. of its formation. The application of silica is extremely wide, involving many industries such as glass, ceramics, and refractory materials. Classification and characteristics of silica ore The classification of silica ore can be divided from multiple angles: 1. Classification by organizational structure: It can be divided into crystalline silica and cemented silica. Crystalline silica is mainly composed of quartz particles, while cemented silica is quartz particles combined by siliceous cement. 2. Classification by transformation speed: Silica can be divided into four types according to its transformation speed at high temperature: extremely slow, slow, medium and fast transformation. 3. Classification by density: Silica can also be divided into extremely dense, dense, relatively porous and porous according to its density. Application of silica ore Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, silica ore has important applications in many fields: 1. Glass industry: silica ore is an important raw material for glass manufacturing, especially vein quartz, which is the preferred raw material for producing high-quality glass because of its SiO2 content of up to 99%. 2. Ceramic industry: silica ore is used to produce ceramics, especially some ceramic products with special requirements, such as electrical insulation porcelain, chemical corrosion-resistant porcelain, etc. 3. Refractory materials: The high temperature performance of silica ore makes it the preferred raw material for making refractory materials, such as blast furnace refractory materials used in steel smelting. 4. Abrasive industry: silica ore is also widely used in the abrasive industry. Due to its high hardness, it can be used in various grinding and polishing processes. Mining and ore dressing and purification of silica ore The mining of silica ore is mainly carried out in open-pit mode, and the ore dressing and purification process includes steps such as scrubbing, magnetic separation, flotation, acid leaching and photoelectric separation. These processes are designed to improve the purity of silica and reduce the impurity content to meet the specific needs of different industries. Crushing and Grinding Silica ore is usually crushed using jaw crushers and cone crushers. The former is suitable for primary crushing, while the latter is used for secondary or finer crushing. The crushed silica enters the grinding stage. Grinding equipment includes ball mills, high-pressure suspension roller mills and abrasive mills, etc. These equipment can grind silica to the required particle size and improve the quality of silica. Scrubbing and Magnetic Separation Scrubbing is the use of mechanical force and the abrasive force between sand particles to remove film iron, bonding and muddy impurity minerals on the surface of quartz sand. Magnetic separation can remove magnetic minerals such as hematite, limonite and other impurities from scrubbed silica to the maximum extent. Flotation Flotation is mainly used to remove non-magnetic associated impurity minerals such as feldspar, mica, etc. During the flotation process, the chemical conditions of the flotation environment are adjusted by adding flotation agents such as collectors, frothers and regulators to improve the separation efficiency of silica and impurities. Acid leaching Acid leaching is mainly used to further reduce the iron content in silica, especially for quartz sand with high purity requirements. Acid leaching can make the purity of silicon dioxide reach more than 99.93%. Photoelectric sorting https://www.mdoresorting.com/mingde-ai-sorting-machine-separate-quartzmicafeldspar-from-pegmatite Photoelectric sorting is a technology that uses the surface characteristics of silica ore for identification and sorting. It is suitable for silica ores with obvious or complex color characteristics. Through photoelectric detection technology, heterochromatic granular materials are automatically sorted out, thereby improving the overall quality of silica. It is worth mentioning that Mingde Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is the first to introduce artificial intelligence technology in the field of visible light photoelectric sorting, which can sort more categories of ores. In silica ore sorting, the color, gloss, texture and texture of the ore surface can be used to distinguish the silicon in the ore from the feldspar of the same color. The sorting effect is more accurate than that of the color sorter. Pre-sorting and auxiliary processes Pre-sorting usually includes processes such as scrubbing, magnetic separation and flotation, while auxiliary processes include adding pre-sorting processes after crushing, and improving the quality of the ore entering the mill through pre-waste treatment, improving the production efficiency of subsequent processes and reducing production costs. Conclusion In summary, silica ore, as an important non-metallic mineral, not only has a wide variety of types, but also has a wide range of industrial application value. The continuous deepening of research on its mining and purification technology will help to better realize its potential in various fields. With the advancement of science and technology, the utilization of silica ore in the future may be more efficient and environmentally friendly.
