Comparison between Flotation and Magnetic Separation

Today we will compare the flotation separation with the magnetic separation for customer. Both of them are the most popular and effective separating methods in the ore dressing production line.

The flotation separation process realizes the mineral particle separation based on the working principle of different physical and chemical properties of the minerals leading to different floatability.

Our flotation separation technology has quite a good performance in the following fields:

1.To separate non-ferrous metals as well as to realize the rough or fine separation of ferrous metals and non-metals.

2.Both the production index and working efficiency are high. The separated sulfide ore can reach the recycling rate of over 90% and the concentrate grade comes close to the theoretical value of the pure ore.

3.The flotation separation is suitable for the fine ore and micro ore treatments. It’s hard for customers to recycle the fine ore with the particle size less than 10μm, so we can also take the flotation separating production line.

The magnetic separation process is a wet and dry separation combination method of magnetite. Our magnetic separating production line usually completes three grade separations of the mineral powder and finally realizes the wet material magnetic separation.

The magnetic separation technology is mainly applied to process the following materials: ferrous metals, non-ferrous and rare metals like tungsten, tin, copper, molybdenum, and lead etc. It is also used to realize iron removal in the non-metal mineral separation and plays a role the water treatment industry.
