Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of metallurgical equipment installation, in particular to a system for separating and extracting associated elements of low-grade magnesite. Background Art

[0002] Magnesite is a carbonate mineral with high industrial value and a dominant mineral resource in my country. It is the main source of magnesium. When a solution containing magnesium acts on calcite, it converts calcite into magnesite, so magnesite also belongs to the calcite family. Magnesite crystals belong to the trigonal carbonate mineral system and are usually granular or cryptocrystalline, dense blocks. The latter is also called porcelain magnesite, which is white or off-white. Iron-containing ones are yellow to brown and have a glassy luster. Magnesite is mainly composed of MgCO3, and iron and manganese often replace magnesium. However, the iron content of natural magnesite is generally not high. Magnesite has a complete rhombohedral cleavage, while porcelain magnesite has a conchoidal fracture. Magnesite often contains iron, which is the result of iron or manganese replacing magnesium.

[0003] After years of mining, high-grade magnesite can no longer meet production needs. Low-grade magnesite also contains gangue minerals such as dolomite and quartz. Magnesite beneficiation primarily removes these gangue minerals to remove impurities such as CaO and SiO₂, yielding high-purity MgO. Dolomite is the primary calcium-containing impurity in magnesite. Its presence leads to the formation of CaSiO₃ during subsequent high-temperature calcination, which readily dissociates upon cooling and affects the properties of light-burned magnesia. Dolomite and magnesite are both carbonate minerals, sharing identical anions and some of the same cations. Their crystal structures and surface properties are very similar, making flotation separation extremely difficult. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization of low-grade, high-calcium, high-silicon magnesite containing gangue minerals such as dolomite and quartz is a global challenge. In particular, the effective industrial removal of dolomite and quartz from magnesite remains a challenge.

[0004] Chinese invention patent application number 201910247353.4 discloses a method for preparing high-purity light-burned magnesium oxide by calcining low-grade magnesite to decalcify and remove silicon. The low-grade magnesite containing dolomite and quartz is cleaned and crushed. The magnesite powder with a particle size of 2.5 to 20 mm is calcined at 600 to 700 ° C for 1 to 2.5 hours to obtain a mixture of decomposed magnesite, dolomite and quartz. The mixture is selectively ground to obtain a grinding product; the grinding product is screened and classified to obtain a grinding product with a particle size of -0.074 mm; the magnesite powder with a particle size of 0.1 to 2.5 mm is placed in a suspension furnace for air calcination and calcined at 570 to 670 ° C for 0.5 to 2 hours to obtain light-burned magnesium recovered by suspension calcination; the light-burned magnesium is then purified by air separation to finally prepare a high-purity light-burned magnesium product.

[0005] Chinese invention patent application number 202010795172.8 discloses a method for screening magnesite with low silica content, comprising the following steps: 1) cleaning of magnesite: using low-grade magnesite as raw material, cleaning, and removing mud and fine-grained minerals on its surface; 2) grinding of magnesite: grinding the magnesite after cleaning in step 1) to obtain ore powder; 3) pulping of magnesite: adding water to the ore powder after grinding in step 2), mixing evenly and preparing slurry to obtain ore pulp; 4) flotation of magnesite: sending the slurry after pulping in step 3) to flotation equipment for reverse flotation to obtain concentrate powder; 5) drying of magnesite: washing the concentrate powder after flotation in step 4) with water, and then drying it.

[0006] In the existing technology, the washing process of dolomite is not recycled, which wastes water resources. In addition, the ore particle size is not classified before washing, resulting in the high-value ore with a particle size of 12-30mm not being effectively cleaned, affecting its subsequent sorting effect. The existing belt conveyor diverts and transports the screened material. Due to the structural limitations of the belt conveyor, in order to obtain sufficient conveying height, the belt conveyor length needs to reach 25 meters, which occupies a large area. Utility Model Content
