The data on U-Pb zircon (SHRIMP II) age of nine samples of igneous rocks from the Kalguty OMS are accompanied by chemical, ICP-MS, and ICP-AES analyses of the main rock varieties. Porphyritic biotite granite of the …

When the reduction smelting method is used to treat the tin-containing wolframite-scheelite mixed ore by adding a sulfurizing reagent and a reducing agent,the grade of the obtained wolframite-scheelite mixed ore is lower than 40%. The recovery of tungsten from such a relatively low-grade tungsten material by the traditionally alkaline ...

The industrial state-of-the-art processes to extract tungsten from scheelite (CaWO4) require high pressures and temperatures. These flowsheets consume a large excess of chemicals (which are very hard to recycle) and generate up to 25 tons of high-salinity wastewater per ton of ammonium paratungstate product. In this work, a more …

Cassiterite is the principal ore mineral for tin, and its oxygen isotope is a promising proxy to trace the origin and evolution of ore-forming fluids, which requires precise and accurate oxygen ...

The recovery of ultra-fine tungsten minerals from a slime assaying 0.22% WO3, in which 81.85% distributed in −40 µm fraction, was investigated using large-scale SLon-2400 centrifugal separator.

In the present paper, we demonstrate how to successfully circumvent the formation of solid reaction products in the leachate by dissolving scheelite, CaWO4, in …

In this paper, the industrial beneficiation and technical challenges for tungsten (scheelite and wolframite) ores are presented and discussed, and various …

Preconcentration Increases Tungsten Recovery With the Condor DMS, the ore is fed into the feed hopper and mixed with ferrosilicon or magnetite, and water. In this slurry, the densest ore particles are separated and collected through sink outlets for further processing while less dense material is sent to the floats outlet and can be stored with ...
