During mining separation, monazite, which is a paramagnetic mineral, was found in a non-negligible concentration of 0.57 wt% on average in the medium grade zircon standard which also contains 37.96 wt% zircon and 44.46 wt% titanium oxides. Magnetic and gravity separation tests were carried out on the Medium grade zircon standard (MGZS) to produce a monazite concentrate at Eramet Ideas laboratory. Magnetic separation at 1.5 teslas intensity resulted in the recovery of 94.8% of the monazite from the MGZS. Gravity separation also recovered 76.6% of the monazite from the MGZS. The combination of these two treatment methods can thus produce three concentrates from MGZS (a monazite concentrate, a zircon concentrate, and a titanium oxide concentrate).展开更多

The study shows that main metals mineral in the rare earth ore are magnetite, tatanomagnetite, limonite; less metals mineral are ilmenite, hematite; some minim minerals were iron pyrites, zircon, scheelite, and so on. Main nonmetals mineral are quartz, feldspar(plagioclase, K-feldspar); less nonmetals mineral are hopfnerite, biotite, titanite; some minim minerals are kaolinite and dolomite. Ilmenite has the highest content of Sc as 175 g·t -1, next is titanite as 81.2 g·t -1. Based on this result, A new method of extracting Sc is put forward. The technological flowsheet of separating Sc of low-intensity magnetic separation,tabing, gravity concentrate, high-gradient magnetic separation, and electrostatic separation was prepared. Amplified experiment obtained Sc concentrate with Sc content of 148.54 g·t -1, the yield of 7.92%,recovery of 69.20%, at the same time, a Fe concentrate with the grade of 63.88% and the yield of 5.91% is obtained.展开更多

The microstructure and phase constituents of the shell waste and separation process were investigated. The results show that the characteristics of microstructure and phase constituents of the shell waste can meet the conditions for preferential y separating zircon sand, and zircon sand can be separated by gravity separation on a shaking table. The separated zircon sand has good shape and high purity, and can be used for the production of castings and other applications.展开更多
