Résumé : |
With the increased demand for phosphates in fertilizer and other industries and the decreased availability of high grade ores in many parts of the world, beneficiation of low phosphate ores and tailings may be needed.
A phosphate tailings sample from Algeria was investigated with the emphasis on beneficiation by dry methods.
In the present study, an electrodynamic separator has been used and its working parameters considered.
Particular attention has been paid to comminution and to phosphate grade and recovery as a function of size analysis.
Initial studies have shown that separation in terms of mineralogical constituents is poor.
Adapting the electrodynamic separator to sizing is possible and separation by "electrodynamic size analysis" is compared with pneumatic separation - in terms, that is, of the upgrading - of Djebel-Onk tailings.
Mineralogical analysis indicated that undesirable impurities are scattered in the phosphate matrix, therefore, giving a narrow option to any physical process.
Relatively good results have been achieved in electrodynamic sizing at low voltages.
Two stages of separation with an intermediate recrushing upgraded the feed material from 22.7 to 26.75 % P₂O₅ at 47.1 % recovery, and there is a possibility that this concentrate could be blended into higher grade products. |
