In the field of mineral processing, gravity separation technology has always occupied a core position due to its low energy consumption and high cost-effectiveness. As a technical expert who has been deeply engaged in mineral processing EPCM+O services for 20 years, we will analyze the systematic solution to improve gravity separation efficiency for you through practical experience, and help mineral processing plants achieve a technological breakthrough of increasing recovery rate by 10%-25%.

1. Ore pretreatment: laying the foundation for separation efficiency

1.1 Precise particle size control

A three-stage crushing system (jaw crusher + cone crusher + high-pressure roller mill) is used in the crushing stage to strictly control the ore particle size within the ideal range of 0.3-3mm

Multi-layer high-frequency vibrating screen (screen aperture error ≤ 0.05mm) is configured to ensure that more than 95% of the ore reaches the target particle size

Case data: Through particle size optimization, the jig processing capacity of an iron ore plant has increased by 40%

1.2 Efficient desludging process

The hydrocyclone group (Φ150+Φ75 combination) is used to achieve a -0.074mm fine mud removal rate of >85%

Configured with an intelligent flocculation system (PAC+PAM composite reagent), the slurry concentration can reach 35%-45%

Key indicators: After desludging, the viscosity of the slurry is reduced by 30%, and the separation efficiency is significantly improved

2. Equipment upgrade: the key to releasing technological dividends

2.1 Jigging machine intelligent upgrade solution

Adopt servo motor drive system to achieve 0.5-5Hz stepless frequency modulation

Innovative double-peak waveform design, bed looseness increased by 25%

Add ultrasonic bed monitoring system to provide real-time feedback on mineral stratification status

2.2 Centrifugal field enhancement technology

New horizontal centrifuge (G value up to 300G) to process -0.1mm fine-grained materials

Dynamic water film control system, concentrate grade is stable at more than 95%

Energy consumption comparison: 40% lower energy consumption than traditional shaking table

III. Process parameter optimization matrix

Parameter dimension control range efficiency influence coefficient

Water flow rate 0.8-2.5m/sΔ1m/s=±12% recovery rate

Medium density 1.2-3.5g/cm³Δ0.1g/cm³=±8% grade

Stroke frequency 100-400 times/minuteΔ50 times=±15% processing volume

Note: Establish parameter response model through DOE experimental design to achieve multi-variable collaborative optimization

IV. Integrated application of innovative technologies

4.1 Magnetic-gravity combined process

Pre-weak magnetic separation (0.3-0.5T) removes magnetic minerals and reduces the load of the gravity separation system

Typical case: A tungsten mine uses this process, and the gravity separation recovery rate is increased from 68% to 82%

4.2 Intelligent medium system

Intelligent compensation system for resuspension density (accuracy ±0.01g/cm³)

Closed-loop circulation system with medium recovery rate>98%

Cost comparison: medium consumption is reduced by 70%

V. Digital control system

Build a three-level control system composed of PLC+SCADA+AI algorithm:

Real-time monitoring of 12 key parameters (flow, density, particle size distribution, etc.)

Adaptive adjustment system response speed <0.5 seconds

Big data analysis platform provides process optimization suggestions

Implementation case: A gold mine has increased its annual revenue by 2.3 million US dollars through digital transformation

VI. Key points of engineering practice

Adopting a two-stage gravity separation + three-stage scavenging process design, the recovery rate is increased by 15-20 percentage points

Configure online particle size analyzer (Malvern Insitec series), dynamically adjust process parameters

Establish a preventive maintenance system, equipment operation rate> 95%
