The whiteness and purity of barite products directly affect their industrial value. Natural barite ore often contains coloring impurities such as iron and titanium, affecting its whiteness and making it difficult to use directly. It requires purification and whitening through physical or chemical methods.
The tailings dam project of the Ruide project is a flat-ground dam with four sides and a capacity of 400,000 cubic meters. Through scientific organization and active scheduling, more than 22 sets of large machinery and equipment, including excavators, dump trucks, and road rollers, were deployed, excavating and transporting more than 400,000 cubic meters of earth and rock, and laying more than 50,000 square meters each of geomembrane and geotextile. All work was completed 33 days ahead of schedule.
Oxidized gold ore refers to gold-bearing ore that has undergone oxidation reactions in the surface or near-surface oxidation zone due to exposure to oxygen or other oxidizing agents. Common beneficiation methods include gravity concentration, flotation, cyanidation, and heap leaching.
From raw ore to finished gold ingots, gold ore undergoes seven core processes: crushing and screening, grinding, pre-leaching, carbon leaching, cyanide removal and pressure filtration, electrolytic desorption, and smelting. Each step is interconnected, ultimately achieving gold extraction and purification while simultaneously ensuring the harmless treatment of tailings.
The primary methods for processing white tungsten ore include gravity separation, magnetic separation, chemical beneficiation, and flotation. Flotation can be further divided into ambient-temperature flotation and heated concentration.
After years of development, chemical beneficiation of wolframite has evolved into a variety of mature processes, including hydrochloric acid decomposition, caustic soda leaching, soda solution pressure cooking, and fluoride salt decomposition. Each process has its own unique principles, operational procedures, and suitable applications.
The white tungsten ore flotation process has become the dominant technology for recovering white tungsten ore resources due to its strong adaptability to fine-grained, low-grade, and polymetallic ores. Its core principle lies in exploiting the differences in surface physicochemical properties between white tungsten ore and gangue minerals. Through reagent optimization and process design, these differences in mineral floatability are amplified to achieve efficient concentration and separation of white tungsten ore.
The scheelite flotation process typically consists of two core stages: roughing and cleaning. For some complex ores, a pretreatment stage is added. Each stage has a clear division of labor and works in concert to ultimately achieve efficient enrichment of scheelite.
Wollastonite is mostly found in quartz vein-type deposits. Due to its high specific gravity, brittle physical properties, and susceptibility to mud formation, coupled with its complex mineral composition, wolframite beneficiation presents numerous challenges. Based on the core principle of "early and abundant recovery, and thorough removal of fine mud," wolframite beneficiation has formed four core stages.
The core of upward backfill mining for gold mines is "bottom-up layered mining with simultaneous mining and backfilling." After the lower layer of ore is mined, the goaf is immediately filled with backfill material. Once the backfill reaches its design strength, it serves as a support and working platform for the next layer of mining.
