What Are Graphite Processing Equipment and How to Choose It?

Graphite is an  excellent natural non-metallic mineral with good floatability and it is widely  used in chemical, metallurgy, oil, automobile manufacturing and other  industrial sectors. In the industry application, Graphite with larger flakes  and higher purity will have wider application and high price. Therefore, in the  process of graphite, protecting the graphite flakes and improve the impurity is  key. As we all know, the graphite processing equipment has large effect on the  graphite concentrate besides the Graphite beneficiation process. What are the  graphite processing equipment and how to choose it?

At present, graphite beneficiation processes commonly adopts flotation process. Therefore, the graphite processing equipment  mainly include crusher and screening equipment, grinding and separating  equipment, flotation equipment and concentration and dewatering equipment and  so on.

The crushing, screening  and grinding of graphite are called graphite’s smashing. During the processing  of the graphite, it is required that the graphite should be fully separated  from the gangue minerals as well as the damage degree of the graphite scale  should be mall. During the processing of the graphite, the damage degree on the  graphite scale for the crushing and screening can be negligible. While, the  damage degree on the graphite scale for the grinding machine is very important.  Usually, in order to reduce the damage of the graphite scale, the process of “staged  grinding and flotation” is adopted. The overflow ball mill in lead of grinding  force is mainly used as the grinding machine and in the grinding process, the  speed rate is usually low.

The flotation equipment  of the graphite has an important effect to the graphite concentration grade and  recovery. During the flotation process, the high speed rotation of the  flotation mechanical stirring device has a certain degree on the graphite  scale. Therefore, in premise of ensuring the quality of concentration, the  string intensity of the flotation should be reduced. At present, to achieve the  large scale production of the graphite, many ore dressing plants adopts  flotation column to process the graphite. The flotation index and energy  consumption index achieve the ideal result. 
 The concentration  and dewatering equipment for graphite is an important factor on the slurry  concentration. In the grinding and beneficiation process of the graphite, the  slurry concentration of the graphite should be adjusted. The concentration and  dewatering equipment is for this. There are traditional thickener, deep cone  thickener and tilted plate thickener. The effect of traditional thickener is  poor. While the deep cone thickener and tilted plate thickener has better  effect. Therefore, we should choose the concentration equipment by the  practical need. The filter equipment of graphite is mainly the disc vacuum  filter which covers small areas, has simple operation and good filter effect  and large filter area.

Therefore, during  the graphite ore dressing process, the slurry conveying equipment, caching ore  bin, feeders and crane is necessary.

Xinhai Company is  a professional ore dressing equipment incorporation. It manufactures a series  of equipment to process the graphite which has the advantaged of protecting the  graphite scale, improving the concentration grade and recovery and reducing the  energy consumption. Welcome to Xinhai and consume the equipment.
