Calcined ilmenite production

1. The Magnetic Separator
...and it’s application on CALCINED ILMENITE PRODUCTION

2. What is ilmenite in the first place?
: also known as manaccanite, is a titanium-iron oxide
mineral with the idealized formula FeTiO
: it is a weakly magnetic black or steel-gray solid
: from a commercial perspective, ilmenite is the most
important ore of titanium, main source of titanium
dioxide, which is used in paints, printing inks, fabrics,
plastics, paper, sunscreen, food and cosmetics

3. What is calcination?
a thermal treatment process in the absence or
limited supply of air or oxygen applied to ores and
other solid materials to bring about a thermal
decomposition

4. What type of magnetic separator was utilized in
calcined ilmenite production?
Basic theoretical principle of magnetic separations
and three types of magnetic separators:
low-intensity, high-intensity, and high-gradient
magnetic separators, and their technological
innovations and operational practices are reviewed.
In particular, pulsating high-gradient magnetic
separation, a landmark progress in the treatment of
fine weakly magnetic minerals such as iron oxide
ores and ilmenite, and its continual developments
and operational variables are expatiated.

5. How does pulsating high-gradient magnetic
separator work?
Slurry is introduced to the matrix-housed
inside the vertical separating
ring-through slots in the upper yoke.The
magnetic particles are attracted to the
matrix andare then carried outside of the
magnetic field where they are
subsequently flushed to the magnetic
concentrate trough. The non-magnetic,
or less magnetic, particles pass through
the matrix through slots in the lower
yoke to the non-magnetic collection
hoppers.
