Dry Mineral Sand Processing Plant

Dry mineral sand processing plants are complicated by the nature of the material they process. The valuable minerals, ilmenite, rutile, zircon, monazite, and leucoxene, whilst quite fine and not requiring comminution, have a wide size distribution, exist with other gangue minerals having similar properties, and can have varying surface characteristics. Hence, mineral sand processing plants need many separating stages and recycle paths to separate the feed into its constituent mineral species.

Sand Drying Operation

In the case of asphalt, drying is required to allow bitumen to coat the surface of the stone. For fine sands drying is required to meet the market expectation. Many of these products are bagged and not sold in bulk.

For most dryers the average energy requirement for 1% reduction in moisture is seven litres of diesel. To achieve a cost saving in the application of air classification, in the ideal environment, the final products should be kept as dry as possible to reduce the cost associated with drying. This is especially so where fine sand products are packaged for market.
