Antimony (Sb) is an important strategic metal, widely used in flame retardants, alloys, semiconductors, and other fields. There are several main types of antimony ores: Stibnite: This is the main ore of antimony, with a chemical composition of Sb₂S₃. Stibnite is usually silver-gray with a metallic luster and is common in hydrothermal deposits. Jamesonite:This ore … Read more
The flotation process of lead-zinc ore is one of the important means to extract lead-zinc ore, mainly because its mineral composition elements are more, and the floatability has obvious differences. Flotation can obtain better lead and zinc minerals, but many factors affect the flotation effect, including non-adjustable factors and adjustable factors. This article will explore the … Read more
With its unparalleled physical and chemical properties coupled with inherent scarcity, gold maintains indispensable roles across monetary reserves, industrial applications, and advanced manufacturing sectors. As technological advancements progress, gold’s utility has evolved beyond traditional monetary and jewelry domains to become crucial in modern industries, including electronics, aerospace, instrumentation, synthetic fibers, chemical engineering, and national defense. … Read more
Tin is a critical non-ferrous metal with widespread industrial applications. Did you know that 80% of the world’s tin comes from alluvial deposits? Alluvial tin deposits (also called placer or stream tin deposits) are a major source of tin, differing significantly from hard-rock (lode) tin mining. Understanding how to efficiently mine and process these resources can … Read more
Mining professionals often face various challenges when it comes to understanding the material composition of ores. Knowing what’s inside these ores is crucial for effective mineral processing. But how do we go about determining that composition? The research methods for identifying ore composition involve analyzing both chemical and mineral components. Chemical analysis detects the elements that … Read more
Antimony is a scarce resource. It is a silver-gray metal that is acid-resistant at room temperature. Its specific gravity is 6.68, its melting point is 630.5°C, and its boiling point is 1590°C. It is brittle and has no flexibility. It is a poor conductor of electricity and heat, is not easily oxidized at room temperature, … Read more
Feldspar ores are key raw materials for the ceramic and glass industries and often contain impurities that must be removed to improve their quality. Feldspar is frequently associated with other minerals, such as quartz and mica, making selective separation a complex task. Impurities can affect the quality and characteristics of the final product, reducing its … Read more
The progress of ilmenite flotation research The theoretical content of TiO2 of ilmenite (FeTiO3) is 52.63%, the main mineral for extracting titanium and titanium dioxide. The ilmenite beneficiation process depends on deposit type, ore properties, and mineral composition. Since the properties of primary titanium ore are relatively similar, and the target minerals are relatively simple, … Read more
Lithium is an essential strategic resource material, the lightest metal element in nature, and has electrochemical solid activity. Widely used in emerging fields such as batteries, ceramics, glass, aluminum, lubricants, refrigerants, nuclear industry, and optoelectronics. Therefore, lithium is known as “the new energy metal of the 21st century”, and lithium is also known as “an … Read more
Mining shaking tables are versatile and critical equipment in the mineral processing industry, used to separate valuable minerals from waste based on density. These stages combine lateral and longitudinal motion with water and other media to create a stratified bed of particles, allowing for efficient separation. What stands out about the shaker is its ability … Read more
