Electrostatic Separation for Ore Concentration: Extracting Minerals with Electric Charges

Ore concentration through electrostatic separation is a sophisticated process that leverages electrical charges to effectively separate minerals within an ore. This technique is particularly valuable for isolating minerals like cassiterite, rutile, zircon, and ilmenite from their respective ores.

The process initiates with the ore being finely crushed and ground into a powder. Subsequently, the powdered ore is conveyed onto a moving belt, passing over a roller that carries a static electrical charge. This roller imparts a positive charge to the mineral particles targeted for separation. As a result, these charged particles are irresistibly drawn towards a negatively charged plate or drum positioned on the opposite side of the moving belt.

The minerals, attracted to the negatively charged plate, undergo separation from the remainder of the uncharged ore. The isolated minerals are then collected for further processing.

Electrostatic separation finds extensive application in mineral processing plants, where it serves to segregate valuable minerals from undesired gangue minerals or other unwanted materials. It proves to be an efficient and cost-effective method for concentrating minerals, especially those exhibiting varying electrical conductivity properties.

Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that electrostatic separation may not be universally effective for all mineral types and ores. Depending on the specific ore composition, complementary concentration techniques might be required in conjunction with electrostatic separation.

An electrostatic separator is a device designed to separate particles by mass using a low-energy charged beam. It operates based on the principle of corona discharge, with two plates positioned closely and subjected to high voltage. This high voltage induces the separation of ionized particles. By employing electrostatic charges, this process effectively separates crushed particles of material, enabling the extraction of valuable substances from ore. Typically, electrostatic charges are utilized to attract or repel materials with different charges.
