The plant comprises a primary jaw crusher, secondary cone crusher, tertiary impact crusher and a screening plant. The primary jaw crusher reduces the size of the ore to a smaller product size suitable for transport to the secondary cone crusher . The secondary cone crusher produces a finer product size suitable for transport to the tertiary impact crusher. The tertiary impact crusher produces a final product size that meets the specifications of the customer.
The plant is operated on a three shift basis and employs highly skilled personnel. All operations are carried out in accordance with safety, health and environmental regulations.
Spodumene lepidolite crushing and mining plant
The plant is designed to mine and process spodumene and lepidolite bearing pegmatites to produce lithium minerals, concentrated grades of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide, using a new crushing and grinding circuit followed by flotation, digestion/leaching and filtration processes. The design incorporates a number of innovative technologies to minimise water and energy requirements, reduce environmental impact and enable the production of high quality products.
The crushing and grinding circuit will be designed to process 755,000 tonnes of ore per annum. The layout of the plant is based on a modular approach, which allows for future expansion as required. The plant will comprise a primary jaw crusher, secondary cone crusher and two tertiary ball mills operating in closed circuit with hydrocyclones. The grinding circuit will also include a gravity concentration stage for preconcentration of the ore prior to flotation.
The flotation circuit will comprise four rougher cells, four cleaner cells and two scavenger cells. The rougher concentrate will be thickened before being pumped to the cleaners. The cleaner tails will be thickened and returned to the scavengers for further treatment.
Lithium minerals will be extracted from the ore using a conventional sodium carbonate roast-leach-electrowin (SCE) process. This process will produce battery grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate and lithium carbonate. The process comprises roasting the ore in air to convert the lithium minerals to their oxide form, followed by leaching of the roasted product with water to extract the lithium into solution. The pregnant leach liquor is then passed through an ion exchange circuit to remove impurities prior to being fed to the electrowinning cells where pure lithium metal is produced.
The spent electrolyte from the electrowinning cells is neutralised and fed to a crystallisation circuit where it is concentrated and crystallised out as lithium hydroxide monohydrate.
Production system for spodumene lepidolite crushing and mining plant
Lepidolite is a lithium-bearing mica mineral with the formula K(Li,Al)_3(Si,Al)_4O_(10)(F,OH)_2. It is usually found in pegmatites associated with other lithium minerals such as spodumene and petalite.
Lepidolite crushing and mining plant can be divided into two parts: crushing system and lepidolite mining system.
Crushing system:
The first step in lepidolite crushing and mining plant is to crush the lepidolite into smaller pieces by using jaw crusher or impact crusher. The crushed lepidolite will be then fed into cone crusher or VSI crusher for further crushing until it reaches the desired size.
Lepidolite mining system:
The second step is to mine the lepidolite. Lepidolite mining is usually done by open-pit method. First, a hole is drilled in the ground to a depth of about 20m. Next, explosives are placed in the hole and detonated to break up the lepidolite deposit. The broken lepidolite is then loaded onto trucks and transported to the processing plant.
Spodumene Lepidolite Mining and Processing
Spodumene Lepidolite Mining and Processing
In the spodumene lepidolite crushing and mining plant, the first stage is to crush the raw spodumene ore into smaller sizes for further processing. A jaw crusher or impact crusher can be used to reduce the size of the raw ore. The crushed ore will then be fed into a ball mill for grinding. After grinding, the ore will be passed through a classifier to separate out the fines.
The next stage in the process is lepidolite flotation. In this stage, reagents are added to the flotation cells to help separate out the lepidolite from the other minerals in the ore. The lepidolite-rich concentrate will then be passed through a filter press to remove any remaining water before being sent off for further processing.
The final stage in the process is lepidolite roasting. This is done in order to convert the lithium in the lepidolite into a more usable form. The roasted lepidolite will then be shipped off to be used in lithium-ion batteries and other products.
The crushing and mining plant
The plant is designed to process 10 tons of ore per hour. The first stage of the process begins with the ore being fed into a crusher. The crushed ore is then fed into a ball mill where it is ground down even further.
The next stage of the process is flotation, where the ground up ore is mixed with water and chemicals and then pumped into a tank. The desired minerals float to the top of the tank while waste products sink to the bottom. The minerals are then skimmed off and collected.
The final stage of the process is leaching, where chemicals are used to extract any remaining desired minerals from the ore. The resulting solution is then filtered and the desired minerals are collected.
The lepidolite flotation process
The lepidolite flotation process is a two-step process that involves the crushing and mining of lepidolite ore in order to obtain a concentrated spodumene slurry. The slurry is then pumped to a flotation plant where the spodumene is separated from other minerals contained in the ore.
The first step of the lepidolite flotation process is crushing and mining. The lepidolite ore is extracted from mines and transported to a crusher where it is reduced to small pieces. The resulting crushed ore is then mixed with water and pumped to a flotation plant.
In the flotation plant, the slurry is aerated and agitated in order to separate the spodumene from other minerals contained in the ore. The spodumene is then collected and transported for further processing.
The spodumene lepidolite process
The spodumene lepidolite process is a two-step process that involves crushing the ore and separating the resulting mineral particles by size. The first step is to crush the ore into small pieces using an industrial rock crusher. The resulting particles are then transported to a secondary crushing facility where they are reduced in size again. Finally, the resulting mineral particles are separated by size using a screening process and then transported to the mining plant for further processing.
