STIBNITE ORE BENEFICIATION EQUIPMENT TO GET HIGH GRADE ANTIMONY
Stibnite is kind of sulfide mineral found in low temperature hydrothermal veins and hot springs deposits. It is prized by collectors for the long slender bladed crystals. These can occur in clumps with many orthorhombic crystals radiating in all directions. It is very soft only a 2 on the Mohs hardness scale. The bladed crystals can be gently curving due to the effect of twinning.
Stibnite is usually found associated with quartz, calcite, gold, and other sulfide minerals. The most important methods for antimony ore beneficiation cover gravity separation, floatation. Hand-selected of antimony ore is often a kind of beneficiation strategy according to the antimony ore and gangue minerals in color, luster, form differences, and it needs intensive labor. For large scale stibnite beneficiation plant, stibnite antimony ore beneficiation processing machines shall be taken into consideration to realize the largest profit from the project.
Gravity separation of stibnite antimony can be adopted in concentration of most of Antimony Ores. Stibnite is a sort of coarse particles minerals with big density, so it can be upgraded by gravity separation and Gangue separation method. However, what if it is single Antimony oxide ore or mixed antimony oxide and stibnite ore? Well, the answer is that all antimony ores have very good conditions for gravity separation. And this kind of technique costs much less, and helps get high grade coarse antimony granules discarding big waste materials rocks, so most antimony mine owners are willing to utilize this type of process. Antimony gravity separation processing machines primarily refer to the stibnite jig machines while sometimes it is shaking tables.
Floatation separation is also kind of an important beneficiation method for stibnite antimony ore. Flotation techniques can be used to upgrade antimony sulfide minerals further after gravity separation. The common collector is Butyl xanthenes or even the combination of shale oil and diethyldithio carbamate, while the foam agent is terpenic oil or No 2 oil. However, floatation separation can not be used for separation of antimony oxide, and gravity separation process is used here.
