A technological guide to crushing and processing tungsten ore using appropriate equipment.

Crushing and processing of tungsten ore are crucial links in the tungsten ore beneficiation process, involving crushing and screening of tungsten ore for subsequent beneficiation and purification. Tungsten ore is divided into scheelite and wolframite based on its properties, and there are certain differences in their beneficiation processes. This article will discuss the beneficiation processes of scheelite and wolframite, as well as the corresponding crushing and processing equipment.

I. Tungsten Ore Crushing Process

Tungsten ore needs to be crushed before being fed into the grinding mill for further processing. A three-stage crushing method is usually used, employing a "jaw crusher + single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher + multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher". The specific production process is as follows:

Coarse crushing: Tungsten ore is fed into a jaw crusher using a vibrating feeder for coarse crushing.

Medium crushing: After coarse crushing, the tungsten ore is screened on a vibrating screen and then transported by conveyor belt to a single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher for medium crushing.

Fine crushing: The medium-crushed tungsten ore is then fed into a multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher for fine crushing and finally sent for screening.

Scheelite and Wolframite Beneficiation Processes

Scheelite beneficiation process: Due to its good natural floatability, flotation is often used to extract scheelite. The flotation process line includes crushers, ball mills, classifiers, mixing tanks, flotation machines, thickeners, and filter presses. For coarse-grained scheelite, a gravity separation line can also be used, the main equipment of which includes crushers, vibrating screens, rod mills, jigging machines, and dewatering screens.

Tungsten ore beneficiation process: Tungsten ore beneficiation is mainly carried out by gravity separation, sometimes strong magnetic separation is also used. The gravity separation process line includes crushers, rod mills, jigging machines, and dewatering screens. Since wolframite and scheelite crystals are brittle and easily broken, it is recommended to use rod mills and roller crushers in the crushing process to reduce over-grinding.
