Quartz

Quartz is one of the most common minerals in the Earth’s crust. As a mineral name, quartz refers to a specific chemical compound (silicon dioxide, or silica, SiO2), having a specific crystalline form (hexagonal). It is found is all forms of rock: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

Iron

Iron (element #26, symbol Fe) is the most common metallic element in the universe. When pure it is a dark, silvery-gray metal. It is a very reactive element and oxidizes (rusts) very easily. The reds, oranges and yellows seen in some soils and on rocks are probably iron oxides.

Exploring Copper Sulfide Floatability and Flotation Processes

Copper sulfide minerals play a crucial role in the global mining industry due to the extensive use of copper in various applications ranging from electrical wiring to construction materials. Understanding the floatability of these minerals is essential for efficient extraction processes. This article delves into the main copper sulfide minerals, their floatability characteristics, and the … Continue reading Exploring Copper Sulfide Floatability and Flotation Processes

Tungsten

Tungsten (W) is a gray-white metallic element that is stable and is very resistant to acids and bases. Tungsten has the highest melting temperature of any metal (3422 ° C or 6192 ° F), and the second-highest of all elements (carbon is highest).

Tin

Tin is one of the earliest metals known and used. Because of its hardening effect on copper, tin was used in bronze implements as early as 3,500 B.C., although the pure metal was not used until about 600 B.C.

5TPH Trial Rock Stone Tin Plant in Uganda

Minerals: Tock Stone Tin
Capacity: 5 tons per hour
Process: The rock stone needs to crush less than 5mm to release the inside tin. The Tin granularity size range from 2-5mm.

Chromium

Chromium (Cr) is a hard, bluish metallic element. The only ore of chromium is the mineral chromite and 99 percent of the world’s chromite is found in southern Africa and Zimbabwe. Geologists estimate that there are about 11 billion tons of mineable chromite ore in the world, enough to supply the current demand for hundreds of years.

Lead

Lead (element #82, symbol Pb) is a very soft, blue-gray, metallic element. It is primarily produced from the mineral galena. It has been used since antiquity.

Beach Placer

Description What is The Sea Beach Placer? Beach placer deposits are secondary enriched deposits formed by the accumulation of heavy mineral debris in the coastal zone by the action of rivers, waves, tides, and currents. It mainly comprises rutile, tantalite, magnetite, xenotime, gold, iron, diamond, quartz, coal, and other minerals. The abundant seabed mineral resources … Continue reading Beach Placer
