Process Description

Introduction: Scheelite dressing can use gravity, magnetic and flotation separation. The types and properties of the ore decide the separation methods and processes. Basing on good floatability of scheelite, the flotation is selected.

Application: Scheelite flotation product line is suitable for the scheelite containing multi metals with complex structure.

  • Separation of Scheelite and Calcspar & Fluorite

  • Concentration pulp with high temperature is common method. First,  the pulp is concentrated to 60%-70%; the next, sodium silicate is added into pulp; then, the pulp is heated to 80℃ and stirred for 30-60min; the last, it is diluted with water. The floatation of scheelite is under the room temperature, and the product in tank is calcspar & fluorite.

  • The Separation of Scheelite and Barite

  • It is difficult to separate scheelite and barite by sodium silicate because of the closed inhibitory action for scheelite and barite. We choose alkyl sulfate as collector to repeatly select barite under the 1.5-3PH, and the product in tank is scheelite.

  • The Separation of Scheelite and Sulfide

  • Xanthate is used to capture sulfide minerals in scheelite floatation. We add a little oxide and sodium sulfide to inhibit sulfide without floatation.

  • The Separation of Scheelite and Quartz Silicate

  • Oleic acid as collector and sodium silicate as inhibitors could inhibit the quartz and silicate gangue and float scheelite.

Processing Flow

  • Crushing and Grinding: After crushing scheelite ore, grind it into pulp with ball mills to achieve monomer dissociation of scheelite.

  • Desulfurization Flotation (Pretreatment): If the ore contains sulfide ores, add collectors to float sulfide ores first to avoid their interference with scheelite flotation.

  • Roughing: Add fatty acid collectors and frothers to the pulp after desulfurization, and obtain scheelite rough concentrate by flotation.

  • Cleaning: Adopt the "room temperature flotation - heating cleaning" process. After roughing at room temperature, heat the pulp to 80-90℃, add depressants such as sodium silicate, and conduct multiple cleanings to upgrade scheelite grade.

  • Scavenging: Scavenge the roughing tailings to recover residual scheelite minerals.

  • Thickening and Dewatering: Concentrate and dewater scheelite concentrate to obtain filter cake-shaped scheelite concentrate.

  • Drying and Storage: Dry the filter cake and store the finished scheelite concentrate in silos.
