Scientific novelty
The set of proposed technical solutions is aimed at obtaining concentrates containing strategic metals and includes ore preparation, classification, flotation enrichment using selective targeted reagents, as well as a software package for evaluating the efficiency of the technological process. The main feature is the application of a magnetic field during classification and flotation enrichment. This allows for increased selectivity in the separation of silicate and iron-containing minerals. The magnetic field acts as an additional activator for the flotation process of particles with different magnetic properties, resulting in the formation of froth and tailings products.
Advantages
The proposed set of technical solutions differs from existing technologies by a high level of mineral raw material enrichment of various origins due to the intensification of extraction processes and environmental safety, allowing for the industrial utilization of man-made deposits and formations. For example, when processing iron ores, it is possible to obtain super-concentrates suitable for the non-blast furnace iron production process (direct reduction).
Commercial implementation
The development is intended for mining enterprises to obtain competitive concentrates (including new-generation iron-containing materials), create special types of functional materials and alloys, as well as for chemical, aerospace, and other industries.
