Titanium Zirconium Alluvial Ore Beneficiation Production Line And Process Flow

Titanium Zirconium Alluvial Ore Production Line Solution is designed for the comprehensive recovery of heavy minerals from beach sands.

This solution adopts a "Wet Roughing - Dry Selecting" combined process. It effectively separates Ilmenite, Rutile, Zircon, and Monazite, achieving high-grade concentrates (Ilmenite TiO₂ ≥ 48%, Zircon ZrO₂ ≥ 65%).

Phase 1: Wet Roughing System (Gravity)

Goal: Discard light silica sand and concentrate heavy minerals.

• Pre-treatment: Trommel Screen removes trash and coarse gravel. High-pressure water desliming.
• Gravity Enrichment: Spiral Chute Group performs roughing (Feed density 30-35%).
• Cleaning: Shaking Table further upgrades the heavy mineral concentrate.
• Wet Magnetic Sep: Preliminary removal of strong magnetic minerals (Magnetite).

Phase 2: Dry Selection System (Separation)

Goal: Separate Ilmenite, Rutile, and Zircon based on magnetism and conductivity.

• Drying: Rotary Dryer prepares minerals (80-120°C) for electrical separation.
• Magnetic Separation: Dry High-Gradient Magnetic Separator recovers Ilmenite (Magnetic).
• Electrostatic Separation: High-Tension/Arc Plate Separator separates conductive minerals (Rutile) from non-conductive minerals (Zircon).

• Titanium Concentrate: TiO₂ ≥ 48% (Recovery ≥ 85%).
• Zircon Sand: ZrO₂ ≥ 65% (Recovery ≥ 80%).
• Rutile Concentrate: High-grade standard.
• Heavy Mineral Recovery: Comprehensive recovery ≥ 90%.

Q1: Why are there two stages (Wet and Dry)?

A: The Wet Mill uses low-cost gravity separation to remove the bulk of waste sand (silica) near the mine site. The Dry Mill uses precise magnetic and electrostatic separation to separate the valuable heavy minerals from each other.

Q2: How do you separate Zircon from Rutile?

A: Both are non-magnetic and heavy. We use Electrostatic Separation: Rutile is conductive and gets thrown from the rotor, while Zircon is non-conductive and gets pinned to the rotor.

Q3: What capacity can you handle?

A: Our modular designs can handle anywhere from 20 t/h to 300 t/h per line. We can scale up by adding parallel lines.
