The Application of Process Mineralogy Research in the Reasonable Utilization of Mineral Resources

In order to improve the reasonable utilization of mineral resources and reduce unnecessary energy consumption in the process of mineral processing, the study of ore technological properties provides a theoretical basis for this purpose. This subject conducted a process mineralogy study on a mine in Xinping County, Yunnan Province and found that the ore's valuable element is iron with a grade of 28.98wt.%. And the main iron-bearing minerals are magnetite, ilmenite and limonite. Iron-bearing minerals are embedded in the ore with a finer grain size. According to the nature of the ore, a reasonable technological process for sorting the ore was determined. The iron concentrate with a grade of 60.32wt. % was obtained. The recovery rate of valuable element iron in the concentrate is 75.72%, and the beneficiation index is good. The results show that the study of process mineralogy has a strong guiding significance for beneficiation production.
