Silica sand purification process

 Purification of silica sand

The process of cleaning silica sand is crushing, washing/, magnetic separation, acid leaching, washing, dehydration, and drying.

water washing

Washing sand recycling machine working principle. After the natural silica sand is classified and filtered by the screening equipment, the qualified products flow into the spiral sand washing machine through the launder or the pipeline. It is fully cleaned, soaked and broken by a screw mixer (for larger muddy and extra-large effect), sandstone is fully separated from impurities and mud.

Fine sand and muddy water are deposited in the tail of the spiral washing, and the recovery of fine sand is achieved through a concentration and recovery device. Then the coarse and fine sand enters the wheel washing machine at the same time for secondary cleaning to achieve complete separation of the sediment.

Scrub
With the help of mechanical force and the grinding and peeling force between the sand grains, the thin film iron, adhesive and muddy impurity minerals on the surface of the silica sand are removed, and the unconstituted mineral aggregates are further smashed, and then the classification operation is performed to further purify the silica sand.

Pickling
If the finished sand has a high iron content, it will enter the pickling process. First, it will be washed to remove powder and impurities, and then pickled, soaked and washed, dried or cooled.

Magnetic separation is mainly used to remove magnetic minerals in silica sand. For example, weak magnetic minerals such as hematite, limonite, and biotite can be removed by a strong magnetic machine, while strong magnetic minerals such as magnetite can be subjected to weak magnetic separation. Machine removed. Flotation is used to remove some impurities that cannot be removed by magnetic separation, such as feldspar and mica in silica sand, to further improve its purity.

Then the coarse sand is lifted into the high-frequency dewatering sieve feed end by the impeller of the wheel washing machine, and the overflow mud water flows into the high-frequency dewatering sieve water tank through the pipeline and then is recycled into the high-frequency dewatering sieve through the concentration and separation device. The vibration of the sieve is dehydrated, and finally, the sandstone is cleaned, recovered, dehydrated and discharged.

The difference between quartz and mica

Mica and quartz are common minerals that play an important role in mineralogy. Although they are both silicate minerals, there are clear differences between them. First, mica and quartz are very different in appearance. One of its distinguishing features is that mica exhibits a layered structure that can be easily peeled off into thin flakes. Quartz, on the other hand, is a uniform crystal with no layered structure. Additionally, mica is usually dark in color, such as black, brown, or green, while quartz is usually clear or white. Secondly, mica and quartz also differ in their physical and chemical properties. The hardness of mica is usually between 2.5 and 4, which is relatively easy to be scratched; while the hardness of quartz is very high, 7, which is a very hard mineral. In addition, mica has good refractive properties and electrical properties, while quartz is an excellent piezoelectric material.

Sandblasting nozzle classification and use

Using high-pressure air as a power source to drive abrasive particles to hit objects within a certain range will produce a great impact. The function of the sandblasting nozzle is to spray abrasive particles on the object evenly and efficiently. Sandblasting nozzles can be divided into: straight hole sandblasting nozzle, Venturi sandblasting nozzle , double Venturi sandblasting nozzle, angle sandblasting nozzle Straight hole nozzle: There are only contraction section and straight section inside, the structure is simple and easy to manufacture. This kind of nozzle cannot overcome the vortex phenomenon existing at the inlet end, and the pressure loss is large; the abrasive velocity at the outlet is less than 100m/s under the pressure of 0.7MPa.

Slove method of the clogging of trommel screen sieve

The drum screen is a simple screening device.  The trommel screen  is easy to close and collect dust, the maintenance is small, the maintenance is simple, and the service life is long. It is a device frequently used in refractory materials, coal, river sand classification, and sandstone classification. The advantage of the trommel screen is that the structure is not complicated so that the device can be quickly operated, and when the trommel has problems, people can easily solve it. But what should I do when the screen of the trommel screen is blocked? The following screen will introduce several ways to solve the phenomenon of blocking the net. The trommel screen sometimes adopts a mechanism added to the fixed frame, and then the mechanism rotates to drive the belt mounted on the belt to continuously smear the surface of the sieve hole, thereby sucking out the raw material particles blocked in the sieve hole. One of the disadvantages in practice is that it produces a lot ...
