Xinhai scheme

In the previous period, after Xinhai Mining and Decoration conducted tests on the incoming samples, it was found that the graphite concentrate with a yield of 14.20%, a fixed carbon content of 92.30%, and a recovery rate of 87.91% could be obtained after nine stages of grinding, one roughing, one sweeping and nine selections of the raw ore. In order to get part of the high carbon graphite concentrate, the graphite concentrate was wet screened, and the +140 mesh concentrate yield was 3.68% with 95% fixed carbon content; -140 mesh concentrate yield was 10.72% with 91.46% fixed carbon content, and then it was determined that the processing plant adopts a two-stage closed circuit crushing - nine-stage closed circuit grinding and classification - one coarse, two scavengings, ten concentrating flotation process.

06Uganda 720tpd phosphate processing project

Overview

This project was the China-Uganda Energy Industrial Park cooperation project. Xinhai finished the commission of this project all at once in limited time, which witnessed the unprecedented “Xinhai Speed”. 

Xinhai scheme

The raw material of the processing plant is the high phosphorus tailings of the magnetic separation plant (-200 mesh accounts for 50%), and the raw material of the project is conveyed to the high concentration mixing tank for slurry mixing. The agitated slurry is transported to the raw ore desliming cyclone for desliming, and the ball mill forms a closed circuit grinding system with pumps and classifying cyclone. The designed flotation process is a coarse, sweeping and two fine positive flotation process, the flotation concentrate is transported to the concentrate dewatering system for dewatering, and the dewatered product is phosphate concentrate; the flotation tailings are transported to the tailings dewatering system for dewatering, and the dry tailings are transported to the tailing storage by dump truck; the dewatered filtrate is returned to production for recycling.

07Hunan 700tpd feldspar processing project

Overview

Xinhai has undertaken the project of a 700tpd feldspar ore processing plant in Hunan. According to the composition of the original ore material, Xinhai learned that the main minerals of the project ore are feldspar and quartz, with a small amount of white mica and tourmaline minerals. Among them, solving the separation problem of quartz and feldspar was the key to getting qualified feldspar concentrate and quartz concentrate.

Xinhai scheme

After a detailed beneficiation test, Xinhai decided to adopt two and a half-closed circuit crushing and screening - one closed-circuit grinding - gradation and de-hybridization - magnetic separation - flotation - concentrate dewatering process for the project. The feldspar concentrate (K₂O+Na₂O) of the project is 14.16% with 54% yield; quartz concentrate grade (SiO2) ≥97.87% with 10% yield; the volume of K₂O+Na₂O concentrate reaches 81,000 tons/year and the volume of SiO2 concentrate reaches 15,000 tons/year.

08Inner Mongolia 660t/d fluorite processing project
