Experimental study on mineral processing for comprehensive recovery of tungsten from copper molybdenum flotation tailings

The tailings from a copper molybdenum mine containing some tungsten minerals like white tungsten, molybdenum calcium, ores containing tungsten grade 0.082%, According to the characteristics of the ore tailings, explore the magnetic separation flotation combined flowsheet, magnetic and gravity separation combined process for recovering tungsten mineral possibilities. Test results showed that magnetic reconnection process can effectively recover tungsten minerals, and can obtain a good indicator of tungsten concentrate containing 36.13%, tungsten recovery rate of 60.29%. To achieve the comprehensive recovery of valuable elements of tungsten in the tailings .
