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.

Chromite purification processing method

At present, chromium ores with industrial value are generally chromium-magnesia spinel or chromium-iron spinel minerals, which contain a large amount of chromium oxide, with a content of about 18% to 62%, and generally also contain metals such as aluminum and nickel. Its characteristics make the chromium ore beneficiation process present a rich and diverse state. Due to the properties of chromium, chromium ore beneficiation processes include gravity separation, magnetic separation, flotation, combined beneficiation, chemical beneficiation, etc. Commonly used in industry are single gravity separation, single magnetic separation, and gravity-magnetic combined beneficiation processes. In terms of equipment selection, shakers and jigs are mostly used in the gravity separation stage, while the equipment selection in the magnetic separation stage is determined based on the magnetism of the ore.

The classifications of quartz sand

  1. Ordinary quartz sand: The surface of ordinary quartz sand seems to have a layer of yellow skin, and some have large particles and strong fire resistance. It is a kind of quartz sand processed by the manufacturer after using natural quartz ore in the production process, such as washing and drying. No impurities can be seen in the quartz sand through the second water treatment filtration. It is the best choice for chemical water treatment. It can block the sundries suspended in the water and maintain the quality and beauty of the water. 2. Refined quartz sand: Refined quartz sand is a mineral made by the manufacturer after carefully selected quartz stone. According to different requirements of users, the range used is also different. But generally the main use of refined quartz sand is in glass products, because refined quartz sand is refractory and precision casting, especially suitable for fireproof glass materials.

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 ...
