Tungsten, abbreviated as W on the periodic table, is a rare and valuable metal known for its exceptional physical and chemical properties. Tungsten ore refers to the natural rock or mineral containing tungsten in its compound form. Tungsten is commonly found in nature in the form of tungstates, such as scheelite (CaWO4) and …
Comparative analyses of various related unit operations are incorporated including the advantages and short falls of different advanced gravity separation techniques. A general guideline is presented that will help designing new mineral processing flow sheets with better efficiency indices.
Introduction. Tungsten is one of the critical and strategic refractory metals. It is used in the manufacturing of super alloy, hard metals (cemented carbide), and …
Pb–BHA complexes have been shown to be selective for the separation of tungsten and cassiterite minerals from calcium minerals. These minerals could be enriched synchronously to some extent using Pb–BHA complexes flotation. However, it is difficult to further improve the quality and recovery of the scheelite, wolframite, and …
Tin metallurgy is a king of technology that extracts tin metal from tin-bearing minerals and secondary resources. Tin blocks and tin dagger-axes unearthed at the Xiaotun Site in Anyang, Henan from late years of the hang Dynasty, which can prove that the Chinese people mastered tin making technology in the twelfth century BC to the latest.
