Philippine Chromite Ore Beneficiation


A flow sheet with plant allocation was designed for chromite from the Philippines after a test about the chromite ore samples. And the following is some details about the Philippine chromite ore.

The samples from the client contains lots of clay, and the clay forms agglomeration, so lots of chromite ore attaches onto the agglomeration with the grain size of the chromite fine and embedded in the ore. The liberation grain size is ok to separate without further crushing and milling.

Forui has done two kinds of separation: magnetic separation trial and gravity separation trial. Chromite is of weak magnetism, so intensity magnetic separation has been used in some places but not all chromite can be separated by this intensity magnetic separation. The density of chromite ore is 4.3-4.8g/cm³,and it is a obvious difference with that of waste stone, so gravity separation can work very well for the chromite separation. And there is still floatation separation for chromite, but in the real case, kind of chromite floatation separation is hard to see.

There is a lot of mud in the chromite ore, and it is easy to form blocks, so ore-washing will be needed firstly to remove the mud on the surface of the blocks by spiral log washer.
1) Trial of intensity magnetic separation     

4000gauss magnet has been adopted for the magnetic separation trial. And the test shows about 50% chromite can be recycled validly, and the other can not be got from the ore. That means the recovery rate of magnetic separation can be only 50%.

2) Trial of gravity separation

Forui jigger is adopted for the gravity separation test of the chromite ore. The trial result is very satisfied. And the client is very glad to see that there is almost no chromite in the tailings.

According to the test, Forui has designed a simple and effective flow sheet for client. The flow sheet of spiral log washer—jigger for chromite ore separation is very worthwhile for chromite ore with lot of muds in the Philippines. The whole line is easy to operate with its small investment, low operation cost. Gongyi Forui Machinery Factory is a professional manufacturer of kinds of mining jiggers for kinds of ores and slag. A mini test can be done for you free here in our factory with samples of 20-30 kgs can be available from you.
