700 Tons/Day Fluorite Beneficiation Project
Date: 2026-02-28 Categories: Client Cases Views: 13
The 700-ton-per-day fluorite beneficiation project adopts a mainstream process flow of "two-stage crushing - one-stage grinding - flotation - dewatering". Based on actual project cases, the technology is mature, the recovery rate is high, and the concentrate grade can reach more than 97% at this scale, which has good economic benefits and environmental feasibility.

Recommended Process Flow and Key Technologies
-
Crushing and screening stage
- Coarse crushing: A jaw crusher is used to crush the raw ore (particle size ≤300mm) to 100–150mm.
- Fine crushing: Cone crusher is used for further crushing to ≤15mm;
- Screening: A circular vibrating screen is configured to form a closed-loop circulation to ensure uniform particle size entering the mill.
-
Grinding and classification stage
- A closed-circuit system combining a grate ball mill and a spiral classifier is used to control the grinding fineness to over 65% (-200 mesh), ensuring the liberation of fluorite monomers.
- For ores with finer intercalated particle sizes, two-stage grinding can be considered to improve concentrate purity.
-
Flotation separation stage
- The mature flotation process of "one roughing, one scavenging, and seven cleaning" is adopted, with middlings returned sequentially to improve the recovery rate.
- Flotation reagents: Sodium carbonate is used to adjust the pH to 8-9, oleic acid is used as a collector, and water glass is used to suppress gangue minerals such as quartz.
- SF type mechanically agitated flotation machine is recommended for its stable operation and uniform bubble distribution.
-
Concentrate dehydration and drying
- Concentration: Preliminary dehydration is performed using a deep cone thickener.
- Filtration: A chamber filter press is used to ensure the filter cake moisture content is below 20%.
- Drying (optional): For long-term storage or transportation, an indirect rotary dryer is used to ensure the final product moisture content is <10%.
