Abstract: School of Resources and Civil Engineering,Northeastern University,Shenyang 110819,China There is 0.79% WO3 in a tungsten ore in Liaoning Province.Distribution rate of tungsten in wolframite is 78.48%.Gravity separation operation was used by on-sits process,and gravity concentrate index with WO3 grade of only 22%~23% and recovery of 88%~89% is obtained.To improving the concentrate index,magnetic separation-flotation-leaching experiments on the gravity concentrate was conducted.Results show that magnetic concentrate with WO3 grade of 23.54% is obtained via magnetic separation for iron removal at field intensity of 80 kA/m on the gravity concentrate,reverse flotation concentrate with WO3 grade of 53.08% is gained through reverse flotation on the magnetic concentrate using butyl xanthate as collector,concentrate with WO3 grade of 65.11%,yield recovery rate of 96.71% and total recovery rate of 82.42% is obtained by purification via leaching with hydrochloric acid as leaching agent.The effective recovery of the tungsten resource is obtained.
