Tungsten and tin are important strategic resources. Scheelite and cassiterite have similar physical and chemical properties and face the challenge of flotation separation. This study proposes soluble starch (SS) as an effective depressant for the flotation separation of scheelite from cassiterite.
Owing to the depletion of wolframite, the focus of tungsten extraction has gradually shifted to scheelite. However, separating the associated minerals (e.g., apatite, fluorite, and calcite) and scheelite is challenging because their surface physicochemical properties are similar to those of scheelite. Fortunately, researchers have made …

Weathered tungsten-ore beneficiation wastewater (WTBW) usually contains a variety of pollutants, such as heavy metals, organics, and suspended solids (SS) (Chen et al., 2009; Meriç et al., 2005). Among them, the high content of SS is the most intuitive feature of WTBW, which has an extremely negative impact on the environment …
Wolframite ores are complex and commonly undergo a combined process of gravity separation, flotation, and magnetic separation. However, recovering tungsten concentrate through gravity separation is challenging, particularly with fine-grained ores. ... The tungsten ore is successfully crushed to below 15 mm through coarse crushing with …
The flotation results indicated that, with the assistance of Al3+, the inhibition effect of SS (water glass) on calcite is significantly enhanced, while the inhibition effect on cassiterite is ...
The Beginning of Refinement: The journey from raw tungsten ore to refined metal is intricate and fascinating. After mining, the ore is first crushed and ground into a fine powder. ... This slurry is then processed through gravity separation and flotation methods to increase the tungsten concentration. Chemical Extraction: The concentrated ore ...
Wolframite is a common tungsten ore whose main component is calcium tungstate (CaWO4). The main flow includes as follows: Crushing and grinding: The original wolframite ore is crushed and ground to make it smaller into smaller particles, which is convenient for subsequent beneficiation. Gravity separation: This process utilizes the …
