Flowchat Description
The solution is designed based on the client’s mining conditions and requirements.
The alluvial tantalum & niobium processing steps are as follows:
1. The trommel scrubber with hopper(with 40mm grizzly bar), +40mm waste stones will be removed on the hopper, -40mm materials will go down to the trommel scrubber for washing sticky clay and sieving 0-2mm and 2-40mm materials.
2. The jig separator for pre-concentrating the alluvial tantalum & niobium from the 0-2mm materials of the trommel scrubber.
3. The shaking table for re-concentrating the 0-2mm alluvial tantalum & niobium concentrate from the jig separator.
4. The 3pcs disc dry magnetic separator for final concentrating the 0-2mm alluvial tantalum & niobium concentrate from the shaking table to get a higher purity grade.
Customer Questions & Our Answers
1. What’s the difference between the trommel scrubber and trommel screen?
The trommel scrubber is used for washing raw materials with much sticky clay, and the trommel screen is used for washing raw materials with normal sand and soil.
2. What is the particle size requirement for the feed ore?
The maximum feeding size of the trommel is 100mm; it has big waste stones over 100mm. The 100mm grizzly bar(the grizzly bar gap can be customized) can be made on the hopper to remove the big waste stones.
3. How does the jig separator concentrate the alluvial tantalum & niobium?
A jigging machine is a device for mineral separation based on the principle of gravity stratification. Its core mechanism utilizes a sawtooth-shaped, asymmetrical pulsating water flow to stratify mineral particles of different densities and sizes within the jigging chamber, thereby achieving the separation of light and heavy minerals.
4. What’s the function of the shaking table?
The shaking table for re-concentrating the alluvial tantalum & niobium concentrate from the jig separator to reach a higher purity.
5. What’s the water consumption of the whole line of machines?
The total water consumption will need approximately 50 m3 per hour, mainly the backwash water for the jig separator and feeding water for the trommel scrubber, jig separator, and shaking table.
6. Will the 3-piece disc dry magnetic separator be able to separate different minerals?
The three-stage strong magnetic separator is suitable for the separation of various mixed magnetic minerals. Based on the differences in the magnetic properties of the minerals, the magnetic field strength can be adjusted by controlling the excitation current of each disk to achieve efficient separation. The induction distance between each disk and the mineral particles can also be adjusted to obtain different magnetic field strengths, allowing for the simultaneous separation of multiple minerals. This equipment is widely used in the dry separation of ilmenite, monazite, tungsten-tin ore, tantalite, and other minerals containing both magnetic and non-magnetic components.
7. Can you provide the civil foundation drawing of the complete machine line?
Once we receive your deposit payment, our engineer will design the detailed plant layout drawing, foundation drawing for you, and also each main machine’s drawing & machine operation manual. All the technical support will be provided to assist with the installation.
