ORE PROCESSING

Ore Processing Lines and the Flow
what's ore processing

Ore processing means crushing and separating ore into valuable substances or waste by any of a variety of techniques. Ore processing is also called ore dressing, mineral processing, ore concentration.

Ore minerals under different physical and chemical properties, the finely ground ore after crushing, with re-election method, flotation, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, will be useful to separate the mineral and gangue minerals and make all kinds of symbiotic of useful minerals are separated as much as possible, remove or reduce harmful impurities, for smelting or other industrial raw materials required for the process.
Ore processing or ore dressing process details

1. Ore crushing
Ore crushing means that using crushing equipments crush mine stone or rock into small size. In common, ore crushing methods are crushed and broken, shatter. Crushing can be divided into three sections: primary crush, secondary crush and tertiary crush.
Zenith offer you related ore crushing equipments such as jaw crusher, cone crusher, impact crusher, mobile crusher and so on.

2. Ore grinding
Products will be broken and granularity for grinding 10~300 mm. Grinding size according to the dyed in ore mineral useful size and used for determination method. Commonly used grinding equipments are ball mill, Raymond mill, vertical mill, super thin mill, etc. Grinding operation, high energy consumption of dressing always usually about half.

3. Screening and grading.
During this stage Zenith will offer you vibrating feeder, vibrating screen, belt conveyor and so on. Upon three stages can be design into: Ore Crushing Plant

4. Ore washing
In order to avoid the clay mineral materials containing mud pledge jams crushing and screening equipment, so we need to undertake ore washing. Raw materials containing useful or harmful soluble components, also should undertake ore washing. Washing can be carried out in the wash machine, can also be carried out in the screening and grading equipment.

5. Sorting operation
Mineral raw materials selected by the crush of other work backward operation, so that separation of useful minerals and gangue, or make a variety of useful minerals separate from each other. This is the main part of mineral processing. During sorting operation, there are following stages such as ore re-election, flotation, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, machine selection, chemical selection and so on.

6. Recovery after ore selection.
This stage mainly includes concentrate, intermediate products, tailing dehydration, tailing piled up and wastewater treatment
