The application of cyclone in mineral processing industry

Cyclone is mainly used in mineral processing industry for classification, sorting, concentration and desliming. In the classification equipment, cyclone and mill to form a grinding classification system, in the desliming equipment used in the re-election plant desliming, this time to introduce the application of cyclone in the mineral processing industry.

In the grinding classification system, the cyclone plays the role of particle classification equipment, the role is to divide the solid particles into two parts according to the size of coarse particles and fine particles, the advantages are high classification efficiency, large capacity, operation flexibility, etc..

In the production process of some products, the slurry will contain some tiny diameter solid particles, which is what we usually call fine mud, its existence will have a greater impact on product quality and equipment, so it must be de-mud. The separation size of hydrocyclone is related to its diameter, and the diameter is generally smaller if it is used for desliming operation. If a hydrocyclone is used for desliming in a mineral processing plant, several hydrocyclones are usually installed in parallel to meet production requirements.

When hydrocyclone is used for concentration and dewatering, it is generally used to pre-concentrate the feed material of filter, screening equipment, dewatering centrifuge and concentration equipment to reduce the operating load of these equipment and improve the processing capacity of subsequent equipment.

The structure and type of cyclone on the market are becoming more and more diversified, and the application fields are expanding. The cyclone can be graded in series to obtain finer products; the hydrocyclone can be graded in parallel to increase the output; the combination of hydrocyclone can optimize the traditional dewatering process. In general, the application prospect of hydrocyclone is very broad, and it has been widely promoted in China's mineral processing industry.
