Fluorite ore is an important non-metallic mineral resource, the main component of which is calcium fluoride (CaF₂), which is widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials and optics. Due to the large differences in the mineral composition, embedding characteristics and associated impurities of different fluorite ores, the difficulty of mineral processing is also different. Therefore, it is very important to conduct scientific and accurate mineral processing test before large-scale production. Through the test, the fluorite mineral processing process can be reasonably formulated to provide a basis for improving ore quality, optimizing resource utilization and meeting industry needs, ensuring the economic benefits of mineral development and resource utilization efficiency.

01Fluorite ore properties and beneficiability

The core task of fluorite ore dressing test is to determine the properties and beneficiability of ore, and provide a basis for the scientific formulation of beneficiation process. Ore properties include chemical composition, physical properties and mineral composition. Chemical analysis techniques such as titration, gravimetric method, atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be used to determine the content of calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and the types and contents of impurities and rare elements such as silicon, iron, and aluminum in fluorite ore.

Physical testing technology evaluates the key indicators of ore density, hardness, transparency, and refractive index through microscopic observation, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), density measurement, and hardness testing. These data are crucial for evaluating the quality and application of fluorite. At the same time, the beneficiability test simulates the industrial beneficiation process to evaluate the difficulty of separating the target mineral from the gangue mineral, and predict the possible concentrate grade and recovery rate.

02Fluorite ore beneficiation method and process flow

Based on the composition of fluorite ore, the type and characteristics of associated minerals, beneficiation tests can specifically determine the appropriate beneficiation method and process flow. Common beneficiation methods include flotation, gravity separation and magnetic separation, and the process flow covers multiple links such as crushing, grinding, sorting, concentration and dehydration. Through process performance tests, such as selectivity tests, grinding tests and flotation tests, key parameters such as grinding fineness, reagent type and dosage can be optimized to improve beneficiation efficiency and concentrate quality.

In addition, the thermal stability and chemical stability evaluation of fluorite under high temperature and extreme chemical conditions (such as TGA, DTA and acid-base corrosion tests) is crucial to ensure the reliability of product performance. The test results are used to formulate scientific beneficiation recommendations and provide a technical basis for subsequent mining planning, beneficiation plant design and production processes.

03Evaluation of technical and economic indicators of fluorite ore beneficiation

The fluorite ore dressing test can comprehensively evaluate technical and economic indicators and environmental protection measures, and provide a scientific basis for optimizing the process and investment decisions. In terms of technical economy, the test can analyze the production cost, including direct costs such as energy consumption, water consumption, and reagent consumption, as well as indirect costs such as concentrate grade and recovery rate. Through detailed process condition tests and cost accounting, the appropriate process conditions can be determined to achieve economic benefit optimization.

04Environmental protection measures of fluorite ore beneficiation

In terms of environmental protection and tailings management, the test needs to evaluate the generation of wastewater, waste gas, and waste residue during the beneficiation process, and formulate effective treatment measures to reduce environmental pollution. In addition, the nature and resource utilization of tailings should be studied to reduce environmental impact and realize resource utilization of tailings. The comprehensive test results provide important support for beneficiation process optimization, environmental protection design and investment planning.

Fluorite ore dressing test is an important link to ensure the efficient utilization of fluorite ore and optimize economic benefits. Through detailed test analysis, we can understand the nature and selectivity of the ore, determine reasonable beneficiation methods and process flow, evaluate technical and economic indicators, and formulate effective environmental protection measures. Therefore, in the development and utilization of fluorite ore, we should attach great importance to the beneficiation test work to ensure the successful implementation and sustainable development of the beneficiation project.
