Exploratory beneficiation tests - the key to unlocking the potential of unknown ores

How to recover valuable elements economically and efficiently in the face of new ore sources, new types of ores or unknown ores with complex properties? orepartner Exploratory Beneficiation Test Service provides you with scientific and systematic research methodology, and through multi-schemes and multi-conditions exploratory tests, we can quickly find out the selectivity of the ores, determine the direction of the technology, and provide the key technical support for the subsequent development and decision-making.

Why do you need exploratory ore dressing test?

• Evaluation of new ore types: first contact ore types, lack of reference for sorting process

• Complex and difficult-to-process ores: poor results of conventional methods, need to find new processes, new agents

• Selection of technical route: Comparison of multiple sorting methods to determine the optimal technical route.

• Basis for investment decision: provide technical feasibility basis for acquisition of mining rights and project establishment.

• Pre-scientific research: Provide basic research support for the development of new processes and new chemicals.

Our exploratory test services

1. Comprehensive ore property study

We start with the understanding of the ore itself:

• Chemical composition analysis: multi-element analysis to identify the content and distribution of valuable and harmful elements.

• Mineral composition identification: quantitative analysis of mineral composition by means of microscopy, MLA, etc.

• Characterization of embeddedness: to identify the particle size of useful minerals, embedded relationships and dissociation characteristics

• Physical and chemical properties: Determination of ore density, specific magnetization coefficient, electrical properties, surface properties, etc.

2. Multi-program exploration test

Based on the nature of the ore, we systematically carry out:

• Crushing and milling characterization test: to determine the suitable crushing and milling process and product size.

• Feasibility test of re-election: try shaking table, spiral chute and other re-election methods.

• Magnetic separation feasibility test: carry out magnetic separation tests with different field strengths.

• Flotation exploration test: try various pharmaceutical systems to find effective collectors and inhibitors.

• Combined process test: explore the feasibility of combining various methods such as heavy, magnetic and flotation.

• New process experiment: try special methods such as bioleaching, chemical treatment, etc. when necessary

3. Innovative research methods

We adopt advanced experimental methods:

• Orthogonal test design: scientific arrangement of test programs, reducing the number of tests and improving efficiency.

• Modern testing technology: adopting ICP, XRF and other rapid analysis methods to speed up the test process.

• Process mineralogical tracking: tracking the direction of minerals through Mineral Dissociation Analysis (MLA).

• Numerical simulation assistance: using process simulation software to optimize the test plan.
