lead zinc ore beneficiation process, lead zinc ore beneficiation plant  

Minerals of lead and zinc commonly are rather closely associated in nature.In deposits mined today, lead is usually found in ores which also contain zinc, silver and commonly copper, and is extracted as a by-product of these metals. Lead and zinc has wide application in electrical industry, machinery, military industry, metallurgy industry, chemical industry, light industry and pharmaceutical industry. As a mineral resource, lead-zinc ore is usually low grade. An extraction & upgrading process is required prior to its industrial production. Lead ore mining needs suitable equipment, technology and process. As professional mining equipment manufacturer, Forui Machinery Factory will discuss lead ore mining in this article.


Lead zinc ore gravity concentration result

Because of this close association of zinc and lead ores, it is necessary to consider them together in discussing their concentration.

Lead zinc ore beneficiation process

Flotation separation is a mature technology for lead zinc ore beneficiation,good indicators can be obtained.Differential or selective flotation by which the ground mill feed is first treated in a lead circuit by roughing and cleaning in one or more stages and producing finished lead concentrate, followed by reconditioning and flotation of the lead-circuit tailing to recover the zinc in one or more stages of roughing and cleaning, the zinc-circuit tailing being final tailing.

Gravity concentration still retains a place in the flow sheet of some mills where it is employed mainly on the coarse product from primary or secondary crushing before fine grinding, either to recover quickly coarse ore particles or to make a quick reject of gangue minerals, thus reducing the amount of material that must pass to expensive fine grinding.

Gravity concentration separates valuable minerals from gangues by the difference in density. Premise of gravity separation is the existence of clear boundary and density difference between valuable minerals and gangues. Size reduction in crushing process and sieve size in screening process is decided by the embedded size of mineral particles. After crushing and screening process, lead-zinc ore is fed into mineral jig for beneficiation. Mineral jig separates them into heavier lead concentrate and lighter tailings.

Concentrates obtained by gravity separation is combined lead-zinc . Although lead and zinc are mixed, the upgrading result is satisfactory. It is suitable for most lead ore mining. Pre-concentration & enrichment by gravity separation is the most popular beneficiation method for lead-zinc ore.

Lead zinc ore beneficiation equipment introduction

Flotation equipment

Flotation equipment for lead ore mining includes crusher, vibration screen, ball mill, spiral classifier, agitator, flotation machine, thickener, filter press, etc. It’s a huge investment to purchase such euqipment. During the production, chemical agent is required. Also, a big land area is required. 

Gravity separation equipment

Besides flotation separation, gravity separation is also used for lead ore mining. Gravity separation process is based on the density difference of valuable minerals and gangues. Advantages are small investment, low production cost, high efficiency, no pollution. The beneficiation equipment includes crusher, vibration screen, mineral jig, dewatering screen, etc. Compared with flotation separation, gravity separation requires much smaller investment, production cost and land area.
