The basic process of copper ore beneficiation is crushing, grinding, screening, flotation separation and dewatering. The specific process varies according to the ore, site and customer requirements. Copper ore flotation processing plant is mainly composed of jaw crusher, ball mill, spiral classifier, mixer, flotation machine.
Copper is a key metal raw material, which is widely used in aerospace, machinery manufacturing and electronic power industries due to its good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, ductility and corrosion resistance. Copper ore beneficiation equipment is mainly used for refining the ore. After this process, the value of the pure copper eventually obtained will be greatly increased. The specific flow process will provide EPC solutions according to the site and customer.
Step 1:Crushing
The loader feeds the raw ore into the vibrating feeder, and the vibrating feeder conveys the material evenly into the jaw crusher for the preliminary crushing process. If necessary, cone crusher or hammer crusher can be added as a second crushing process to obtain suitable particles.
Required equipment; vibrating feeder, jaw crusher, cone crusher or hammer crusher
Step 2:Grinding
The crushed material passes through the vibrating screen into the ball mill, through the mill for fine treatment
Required equipment: mill, spiral classifier
Step 3:Separation
Copper ore flotation: the slurry is fed into the flotation machine, add the chemicals and mix thoroughly to select the useful ore powder. Aerated by stirring, so that the mineral particles selectively fixed in the air bubbles on top; floating to the surface of the slurry is scraped out to form a foam product, the rest of the slurry is retained in the slurry, in order to achieve the purpose of separating the minerals
Required equipment: flotation machine, shaking table
Step 4: Drying
The obtained copper powder is fed into the desiccant for drying to get the required material.
The selection and combination of these equipments depends on the nature of copper ore, beneficiation process and production scale and other factors. In practical application, the selection and configuration of equipment are usually carried out according to the specific situation to achieve the best beneficiation effect and economic benefits.
