Rutile is a common ore, and the beneficiation method is to separate useful and useless minerals from the ore. Based on the characteristics of rutile minerals, the following are some beneficiation methods for rutile

Re selection method: Re selection method refers to the selection of corresponding re selection equipment, which divides the ore dressing minerals and impurity minerals into two parts based on their different behaviors in the gravity field. One part is slag and the other part is metal ore, that is, ore dressing.

Flotation method: Flotation method refers to the use of instruments to separate the differences in physical or chemical properties of mineral surfaces. For the flotation of rutile, the finely ground ore is soaked in water to control the bubbles, allowing effective minerals to combine with the bubbles and float up to the water surface, while useless minerals sink.

Magnetic separation method: Magnetic separation method refers to a method of selecting different types of minerals by utilizing the different conditions of different minerals in a magnetic field. Rutile has poor magnetism, but when it appears together with clay like minerals, its magnetism is more pronounced. In mineral processing, high-energy permanent magnets and oscillating equipment are used to select aluminum containing minerals and strip various minerals. Magnetic separation is a mineral processing method with no chemical pollution and high economic benefits.

Screening method: Screening method refers to using different sieves to separate minerals based on their particle size. Rutile often appears together with heavy minerals and is often used in conjunction with gravity separation.

Electric separation method: Electric separation method refers to a mineral processing method that separates different minerals based on their conductivity or dielectric properties. Rutile has good conductivity and can be sorted using different electrical properties, resulting in high ore dressing accuracy. However, its electrochemical pollution is significant and not conducive to environmental protection.

In summary, the beneficiation methods for rutile include gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation, screening, and electric separation. Different beneficiation methods need to be selected according to the actual situation to achieve the goals of high efficiency and low cost. Meanwhile, various beneficiation methods can be combined with each other to improve beneficiation efficiency and quality.
