Optoelectronic beneficiation technology, as a new and efficient beneficiation method, is of great significance in reducing beneficiation costs and improving the utilization efficiency of ore resources.

一、Improve the Ore Grade,Reduce the Amount of Subsequent Processing

Optoelectronic beneficiation technology can increase the feed grade before ore crushing or grinding, reduce the proportion of low-grade ore entering the subsequent beneficiation process, and thus reduce the load and energy consumption of beneficiation equipment.

For example, a certain phosphate ore beneficiation plant uses photoelectric beneficiation technology, which can throw out most of the silicate gangue in the raw ore in advance before two crushing processes, relatively increasing the content of phosphate minerals in the ore, while reducing energy consumption, material consumption, and equipment wear, and lowering production and operating costs.

二、Strong Adaptability and Wide Applicability

Optoelectronic beneficiation technology can handle the sorting needs of more types and complex ore structures by introducing cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data analysis. Whether it is metallic ore, non-metallic ore, or coal, photoelectric beneficiation technology can effectively improve sorting accuracy and efficiency.

For example, photoelectric beneficiation technology has shown significant advantages in the separation of phosphate ore, which can quickly remove a large amount of useless gangue and reduce the pressure on subsequent beneficiation processes, enabling the full recovery and utilization of phosphate ore resources that were previously difficult to economically and effectively develop.

三、Improve Beneficiation Efficiency and Reduce Energy Consumption

Optoelectronic beneficiation technology can quickly and accurately identify and separate useful minerals and gangue, significantly improving beneficiation efficiency. Compared with traditional physical and chemical beneficiation methods, photoelectric beneficiation mainly relies on electrical energy without the use of chemical agents, greatly reducing energy consumption and costs.

For example, a single intelligent beneficiation equipment can throw out 100000 tons of waste rock in advance every year, reducing beneficiation costs by about 9.6 million yuan, while reducing tailings discharge costs by 1.52 million yuan, reducing tailings pond expansion costs by 2.54 million yuan, and generating a comprehensive annual revenue of 13.66 million yuan.

四、Conclusion

Optoelectronic beneficiation technology, as an efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost beneficiation method, is of great significance in reducing beneficiation costs and improving the utilization efficiency of ore resources.

In the future,with the continuous maturity and improvement of technology, the application of photoelectric beneficiation technology will become more widespread, providing strong support for the sustainable development of mining enterprises.
