Description

• Ore Type:  Nickel Mine
• Capacity：1.5 million tons/year

• Grinding Circuit: Hydrocyclones are often used in the grinding circuit to classify the milled ore slurry by size. This classification helps in improving the efficiency of the grinding process, ensuring that only appropriately sized particles proceed to the next stage.
• Desliming: Hydrocyclones can remove ultrafine particles (slimes) from the ore slurry. Slimes can interfere with subsequent flotation processes, so their removal improves the overall efficiency of the beneficiation process.
• Concentration: After the flotation process, hydrocyclones help in concentrating the slurry by removing excess water. This concentration step is crucial before the slurry is sent to the thickening or filtering stages.
• Waste Management: Hydrocyclones are used to dewater tailings, reducing the volume of waste material that needs to be managed. Dewatered tailings are easier to handle and dispose of, and they occupy less space.
