Mingde Artificial Intelligence Mineral Separator Do Favour to Fluorite Sorting
Nov 19, 2022Mingde Artificial Intelligence Mineral Separator Do Favour to Fluorite Sorting
Fluorite, also known as fluorspar, the main component of calcium fluoride, is more widely used, such as in the steel industry as a flux, in porcelain enamel to help color and flux, in the field of optics for lenses, acid grade fluorite concentrate can be used to produce hydrofluoric acid, is almost so the main source of elemental fluorine.
China as the world's largest producer and consumer of fluorspar, China's fluorspar ore reserves in the world's first, fluorspar ore reserves are relatively concentrated, of which Zhejiang, Hunan, Inner Mongolia accounted for about 72% of domestic reserves, these reserves have relatively concentrated in several large deposits, domestic fluorspar ore characteristics are: monotypic fluorspar deposits, less reserves, more poor ore, less rich ore, and fluorspar associated ore, large reserves, more difficult to select ore, easy beneficiation ore less. The value of fluorite ore utilization is greatly restricted.
At this stage, the domestic fluorite ore beneficiation methods are mainly the following, hand-selected, gravity (jigger) selection and flotation beneficiation. Among them, hand sorting is mainly on the fluorite and vein boundaries, easy to sort fluorite applicable, gravity separation is mainly selected for higher taste, particle size in 6-20mm fluorite ore, flotation is mainly to separate fluorite in the quartz, barite, calcite and other vein minerals, need to be ground to -200 mesh below the sorting.
All of the above types of sorting are very limited restrictions, hand-selection efficiency is low, high personnel costs; gravity separation grade requirements, high requirements for the original fluorite can be selected; flotation costs are high, the environmental damage. In the process, cost, resource utilization, economic efficiency and other aspects in urgent need of upgrading.
Then we have to mention today to talk about an emerging ore sorting equipment - artificial intelligence ore sorting machine, perfectly compatible with the process content of hand + gravity separation, while reducing the amount of flotation ore through sorting, but also to solve the problem of color sorting machine sorting fluorite precision is not high.
The main application area of artificial intelligence ore sorting machine is industrial and mining enterprises, mainly using visible light for sorting, using a mature artificial intelligence means, able to sort according to the eye to see various differences in the ore, such as color, shape, texture, texture, reflectivity and other characteristics, sorting is a composite once sorting, combined with a variety of features to establish the model, in the artificial intelligence to sort out the good material and tail material, and Solve the limitations of color sorting machine can only be based on a single color to discriminate. Especially in fluorite ore, because of its different colors and different crystal shapes, such as octahedral, cubic, granular, grape, spherical and other characteristics of great differences, and the difficulty of sorting, the application of artificial intelligence machine is promising.
Fluorite sorting case
First of all, artificial intelligence ore sorting machine compared to hand sorting, has the advantages of strong stability and large sorting scale; compared to gravity separation, high grade fluorite low grade fluorite, particle size in 0.3-10cm can be sorted, breaking the limitations of gravity separation; compared to flotation, fluorite in crushing and dissociation can be directly into the artificial intelligence ore sorting machine, fluorite ore pre-throw waste, sorting out fluorite concentrate and throw waste in the original ore The fluorite concentrate can be sold directly and the waste stone can be backfilled or sold as construction material; for the fluorite ore which is not easy to dissociate, we can sort out the high grade for enrichment and throw away the waste directly for the lower economic grade, which reduces the amount of ore for flotation and saves the cost of flotation, and at the same time reduces the amount and cost of handling the tailings after flotation.
Mingde photoelectric artificial intelligence ore sorting machine face industrial and mining enterprises, can adapt to the requirements of high dust, high pollution, high corrosion and other harsh environment. At the same time to enhance the comprehensive utilization and economic value of fluorite ore, reduce the mining grade requirements, Mingde photoelectric for the solution of industrial and mining enterprises sorting problems, has been helping to move forward.
