I want to build a molybdenum ore dressing production line, what kind of molybdenum ore beneficiation equipment do I need

Molybdenum is a rare metal, containing only 0.001% of the earth’s crust, but it is particularly useful and has a pivotal role in many fields. Do you know what molybdenum ore beneficiation equipment is used in the molybdenum ore processing line?

I. The use of molybdenum ore

Molybdenum metal is refractory, whether at room temperature or high temperature, high strength, good electrical conductivity, good thermal conductivity, not easily corroded by acid and alkali at room temperature, stable performance, and is widely used in many fields.

For example, in the steel industry, molybdenum is used in alloy smelting to increase the strength of steel and improve the toughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of alloys.

in the electrical and electronics industry, molybdenum can be used to make filaments, semiconductors, etc. because of its good electrical conductivity and high temperature resistance

in oil exploration, molybdenum can be used in oil and gas field drilling pipelines to prevent acidic natural gas and seawater from corroding equipment

In the aerospace and nuclear industries, molybdenum alloys are heat resistant and can be used to make parts for key parts such as flame guides and combustion chambers of aircraft engines.

II. The beneficiation process of molybdenum ore

At present, the main beneficiation process we use for the separation of molybdenum ore is the flotation method. The mined raw ore is first crushed by crushing equipment, then ground by grinding equipment, then the ore particles are graded by grading equipment, the unqualified ones are reground, and the qualified particles are stirred and then coarsely selected and swept by flotation equipment to obtain molybdenum concentrate and tailings.

III. Molybdenum ore beneficiation equipment used in the molybdenum ore processing line

Knowing the entire molybdenum ore beneficiation process, we can probably see that a complete molybdenum ore beneficiation production line includes the following molybdenum beneficiation equipment.

Molybdenum ore beneficiation equipment – crushing

In the crushing process, we usually use coarse and fine jaws for coarse and fine crushing, and then use the elevator to send to the silo after crushing to a reasonable size.

Molybdenum ore beneficiation equipment – grinding

The grinding stage usually uses a ball mill to grind the ore into a powder of 20-200 mesh fineness. The ground fines are then sent into the spiral classifier to wash the ore mixture, and then graded, and the unqualified ore grains are sent back to the ball mill for regrinding, and the qualified fines are sent to the next step of the process.

Molybdenum ore Molybdenum ore – flotation

The fines sent from the grinding process should be stirred by the mixing barrel and then sent to the flotation machine for flotation, adding flotation chemicals according to the characteristics of molybdenum ore, using the different affinity of ore and waste rock to water, and separating the ore particles and other impurities by bubbles. This process should prepare several more flotation machines, roughing, selecting and sweeping, and try to select all the molybdenum concentrate to avoid waste.

Molybdenum beneficiation equipment – drying

The molybdenum concentrate flotation also needs to remove the water in it, you can use the thickener or dryer to remove the water from the molybdenum concentrate to reach the national standard.

The above is to build a molybdenum ore beneficiation production line need to use molybdenum beneficiation equipment, you can adjust the equipment according to their actual situation, choose the right beneficiation process for themselves.
