Creating a 50 tons per hour (tph) diamond extraction process flow chart involves illustrating the stages and equipment used. Here’s a generalized outline:
-
Mining/Excavation:
- Equipment: Excavators, loaders, and haul trucks.
- Activity: Ore collection and transportation to the processing plant.
-
Primary Crushing:
- Equipment: Jaw Crusher or Gyratory Crusher.
- Output: Crushed ore (diameter reduced to manageable size).
-
Screening:
- Equipment: Vibrating Screen.
- Output: Separation of crushed ore into different size fractions.
-
Secondary Crushing:
- Equipment: Cone Crusher or Impact Crusher.
- Output: Further reduction of ore size for more efficient processing.
-
Feeding:
- Equipment: Vibrating Feeder or Hopper.
- Activity: Evenly distributes material for subsequent processes.
-
Dense Media Separation:
- Equipment: Dense Media Separator (DMS), Cyclone.
- Output: Heavier diamond-rich concentrate and lighter waste material.
-
Scrubbing:
- Equipment: Scrubber or Attrition Drum.
- Output: Removal of clays and soils.
-
Concentration:
- Equipment: X-ray Transmission (XRT) Sorting, Grease Tables, Magnetic Separation.
- Output: Further concentration of diamond particles from the ore.
-
Final Recovery:
- Equipment: Jig Separator, Flotation Machine, Ferrosilicon.
- Output: Pure diamond concentrate.
-
Waste Disposal:
- Equipment: Tailings Conveyor, Reclaimers.
- Activity: Management and disposal of waste byproduct.
Here is a simplified textual flow chart:
- Mining: Excavators → Haul trucks
- Primary Crushing: Jaw Crusher → Crushed ore
- Screening: Vibrating Screen → Sized fractions
- Secondary Crushing: Cone Crusher → Fine particles
- Feeding: Vibrating Feeder → Process distribution
- Dense Media Separation: DMS Separator → Concentrate & Waste
- Scrubbing: Scrubber → Cleaned material
- Concentration: XRT Sorting → Diamond-rich output
- Final Recovery: Jig Separator → Pure diamonds
- Waste Disposal: Tailings Conveyor → Disposal
This chart can be adjusted based on specific processing requirements and equipment availability.
