At present, iron ore resources in China in iron ore resources easily selected dwindling iron ore resources is characterized by lean ore more high-grade ore less, associated minerals much more complex component ore, ore mostly fine dissemination size, to cause some dressing Difficulties. Technically speaking, advanced technologies, advanced processes and advanced equipment are urgently needed to promote the efficient development and utilization of lean iron ore resources. In terms of economic benefits, the concentrator must expand the production scale for the production of lean iron ore, and must expand the processing capacity of the ore, save energy and reduce consumption, and reduce the cost of mineral processing, so that there will be better economic benefits. Before the ore enters the grinding operation, a part of the gangue minerals mixed into the ore are pre-selected and removed, so as to achieve the loss of the original ore grade.
The pre-selection process optimized by ultra-fine crushing and coarse-grain tailing is an effective method for increasing production capacity, saving energy and reducing consumption, and creating better economic benefits.
Hubei Valley County grade iron ore content of 14 to 15% TFe, associated with titanium ore, which TiO 2 content of 6-7% TFe mining total reserves of more than 1.9 millions of tons, TiO 2, more than 10 million tons, suitable for open-pit mining . Since the mine is a lean iron deposit, it has not been exploited. With the improvement of the domestic iron ore situation and the improvement of the mineral processing technology level, advanced mineral processing technology and equipment are urgently needed to promote the efficient development and utilization of lean iron ore resources. This is the current priority of the mine.
The iron ore mine in Gucheng County, Hubei Province, commissioned several research institutes to conduct multiple ore dressing tests on iron ore from 1980 to 2005, but has not obtained a suitable beneficiation process and better beneficiation index. Generally obtained mineral processing technical indicators: iron concentrate yield is 14.77% ~ 12.96%; iron concentrate grade TFe content is 58.45 ~ 63.35%; recovery rate is 57.12 ~ 54.32%. In order to obtain better mineral processing technology and mineral processing technical indicators, in order to discuss the best new iron ore pre-selection process and new equipment, in July 2009, the Changsha Separation Engineering New Technology Research Institute and Changsha Shenxiang General Machinery Co., Ltd. were commissioned. Mine construction 5 million tons / year of ore dressing plant to do iron ore beneficiation research and test, for the beneficiation process design, equipment selection to provide basic data.
In view of the characteristics of lean, fine and miscellaneous iron ore in Gucheng County, Hubei Province, in-depth and meticulous research has been carried out. If the ore is treated by conventional beneficiation process, the unit has high power consumption, high steel consumption, high water consumption and poor economic benefits. Therefore, we propose to optimize a preselected lean ore fine crushing process: super fine selection of energy-efficient equipment roll mill, using a process more crushing less grinding, reducing the particle size of the iron ore into the mill, a ball mill prior to the iron ore The coarse-grained tailings realize the early loss and fully recover, creating favorable conditions. This has far-reaching practical significance for improving the production capacity of the grinding system by using iron-poor ore, saving energy and reducing consumption, and creating better economic benefits.
The small-scale test of the project uses a roller mill ultra-fine crushing (0~5mm)-dry weak magnetic separator coarse-grain tailing-grinding-two-stage wet weak magnetic separator to select the open process. When the TFE content of the ore grade is 15.25%, the yield of iron concentrate is 14.49%; the content of iron concentrate grade TFe is 65.12%; the recovery rate is 61.90%, which provides a basis for design and construction.
First, the effect of ultra-fine crushing of roller mill on the fine-grained low-grade iron ore with embedded grain size
In the ultra-fine crushing operation of the fine-grained low-grade iron ore, due to the iron ore in the condition of the layer, the roller is repeatedly crushed and twisted by the rapidly rotating grinding roller, so that the ore is crushed into fine particles. And powdery. Therefore, fatigue bonding or microcracking and internal stress occur at the interface between the useful mineral and the gangue, and part of the bonding interface is completely separated. Such a large part of the useful minerals will obtain complete monomer dissociation, and the other part will not have complete monomer dissociation at the internal bonding interface of the particles, and microcracks or internal stress will also occur. When the particles with complete monomer dissociation or partial monomer dissociation are obtained, when the pre-selection operation is carried out, the coarse concentrate with higher grade and the tailing with lower grade can be obtained. When the coarse concentrate with less gangue minerals enters the ball mill, there is no internal bonding interface of the particles completely dissociated, and because of the large number of microcracks and internal stress, the useful minerals in this part of the ball mill It is easy to get better monomer dissociation with gangue. Such coarse concentrate grinding is beneficial to the magnetic separation selection operation to improve the grade of the final concentrate.
After the fine-grained low-grade iron ore is superfinely crushed by a roller mill, the pre-selection: dry weak magnetic separation can discard about 40% of the tailings with lower grade, and wet weak magnetic separation can discard about 50% of the lower grade. Tailings. The reason is that the ultra-fine crushed product of the roller mill has a small particle size and a wide particle size distribution range, wherein the particle size below -5 mm is more than 80%, the particle size below -1 mm is more than 50%, and the -200 mesh size is up to 20%. About about %, its ultra-fine crushed product is in powder form, so the iron ore of this size distribution is pre-selected, and a significant sorting effect is obtained when the coarse-grained tail is thrown.
2. Mineral processing technology for low-grade iron ore development and utilization in Gucheng County, Hubei Province
(1) Preparation of samples
400kg of representative core sample was taken from the iron ore mine in Gucheng County, Hubei Province. After being crushed to a particle size of 25mm or less by PE125×150 jaw crusher , it was ultra-finely crushed to 0~5mm by ZMJ900A roller mill. Take a representative ore sample for chemical analysis of raw ore and sieve analysis of ore size distribution characteristics. Then, the sieve is sieved with a 5 mm standard sieve, and the product is super-finely crushed by a back-rolling mill, and then combined with the sieved product, mixed by a pile cone method, and then separately sampled and weighed to prepare a sample. The test sample was taken out as a test sample for pre-selected coarse-grained tailing.

The fine-grained iron ore has a relatively uniform grain size distribution. The ore particle size is suitable for coarse-grained tailing. It can abandon a large amount of tailings before entering the ball mill, reduce the amount of coarse ore concentrate and reduce the particle size of the ball mill coarse concentrate. Improve the grade of coarse concentrate and create favorable conditions for the next magnetic separation process.

The ore is produced by the company's model ZMJ900A roller mill for ultra-fine crushing. The original ore feed size is 30mm, and the ore is crushed to 0~5mm at a time, and the production capacity is 20~30t/h. After the ultrafine crushed product is pre-screened to a particle size of -5 mm or less, the YCφ400-400 dry weak magnetic separator is used for the coarse grain tailing.
