The moisture content requirements of ore dressing

The material moisture and particle shape in the beneficiation process has a certain impact on the ore dressing production. The surface moisture contained by Ore dressing equipment material increases within a certain range, and  the viscosity of the ore dressing equipment will increase, the surface of the material moisture can make fine grained bond together each other, and attaches on the large, and the sticky materials will also put the mesh plug. These reasons make the screening efficiency greatly reduced. The strict control of water content and pollution status of mineral oil is to ensure that one of the most important parameters of the working performance of the oil and is also to the guarantee to enhance the reliability of industrial products automation system.

The external moisture is attached on the surface of the material of the dressing device, and has a certain influence to the material screening. And moisture in the material porosity and fracture, and the combined water do not affect the screening process. The same kind of material at different size of the sieve is screened; the moisture influence on screening efficiency is different. The screen hole size of ore dressing equipment is larger, the effect of moisture is smaller. This is because the screen hole size is larger, the less likely they are to sieve pore jams. In addition, the more important reason is that the moisture in the graded distribution is uneven. The smaller the particle size is, the greater the specific surface area is, and the higher the water content is also.
