Bauxite iron removal equipment
June.26,2025
Detailed explanation of iron removal methods in bauxite 1. Physical method The physical method is to remove iron from bauxite by using the difference in physical properties. Common physical methods include gravity separation, magnetic separation and flotation.
1. Gravity separation: Utilize the difference in density of different minerals to carry out mineral separation through equipment such as shaking tables and chutes. The density of iron minerals in bauxite is relatively large, and some iron minerals can be removed by gravity separation.
2. Magnetic separation: Utilize the strong magnetic characteristics of iron minerals, and magnetic separation can effectively remove iron minerals. Magnetite is common in bauxite, and magnetic separation can be used to separate them from bauxite.
3. Flotation: Utilize the difference in surface properties of different minerals, adjust the surface properties through flotation agents, and separate bauxite from iron minerals. In the flotation process, commonly used agents include collectors, inhibitors and activators.
