Conclusions
At the Magnezit Combine for the first time in our country magnesite has been dressed in heavy suspensions.
Experience accumulated during the operation of heavy-medium equipment facilitated a significant improvement in the production scheme and equipment formulation for separation of the ores in heavy suspension.
The introduction of heavy-medium separation permitted the retreatment of depleted ores and dumped material. The yield of concentrate increased by 11.5% with a simultaneous increase in the yield of tailings by a factor of 3.76 and a reduction in the cost of the handling of 1 ton of concentrate by 71.9 kopecks.
Work is being done to find the optimum version of reprocessing the screenings from heavy-medium fractions 8-0 mm.
The most promising methods of beneficiating magnesite are deemed to be flotation beneficiation, photoseparation, and gravitational dressing, using heavy-medium turbocyclones. Work is also being done to study further the prospective method of chemical beneficiation of magnesite raw materials.
