Research Progress of the Separation Technology and Reagents of the Talc-type Molybdenum Ore

Abstract

This is an article in the field of mineral processing engineering. Molybdenum has many good physical and chemical properties and is widely used in many fields. Molybdenum is mainly derived from molybdenite, but the resources of the easily beneficiated molybdenum ore have been gradually reduced after long-term development. Nowadays, talc-type and other refractory molybdenum ores have gradually become the focus of research. The separation of talc and molybdenite is a difficult point in the separation of talc-type molybdenum ores. The two has similar surface structures and natural floatability, and the separation is very difficult. This article summarizes the current research progress of talc-type molybdenum ore beneficiation technology and reagents, and proposes to strengthen the research and development of selective grinding of talc-type molybdenum ores and organic macromolecular reagents, and deepen the mechanism and effect of reagents and mineral surfaces. The study of the raw ore technological mineralogy is an important direction for sorting the talc-type molybdenum ore in the future.
