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.

Maintenance and storage method of vibrating screen motor and common troubleshooting

The service life of the vibration motor determines the operating life of the entire screen. Therefore, in the normal production, we must always pay attention to whether the working state of the vibrating screen equipment is normal, whether the vibrating motor is in good working condition, timely check and solve some small abnormalities and faults, and do a good job of cleaning and maintenance, because this can greatly increase the vibration screening. Machine and vibration motor life. dewatering screens supplier Maintenance storage precautions during vibrating screen motor operation The equipment can not be completely dust-free, but also has a harsh environment and dusty conditions. The vibration motor is airless and heat-cooled. It relies on natural cooling, so it must be specially maintained. The following is the maintenance content. 1. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the vibration is abnormal during the use process; 2. Always check if the bolts used in the m...

300t per hr chalcopyrite washing equipment

Chalcopyrite is a copper-iron sulfide mineral. It often contains trace amounts of gold and silver. Crystals are relatively rare and are tetrahedral-shaped, mostly irregular granular and dense massive aggregates, as well as kidney-shaped and grape-shaped aggregates. Copper yellow, often dark yellow or mottled. The streaks are black with a greenish tint. Chalcopyrite is a relatively common copper mineral, which can be formed in different environments, but it is mainly the product of hydrothermal action and contact metasomatism, and it can often form deposits of a certain scale. The origin is all over the world. In industry, it is the main raw material for copper smelting. In the field of gemology, it is rarely used alone, occasionally as a substitute for pyrite. In addition, it often participates in the composition of some colored stones, inkstones and jade. The high-efficiency spiral chalcopyrite washing machine is mainly used in the washing, grading, impurity removal, and the washing o...
