In order to improve the 1 200 t/d heavy medium separation process of a spodumene concentrator in Shandong province, based on the original flotation and heavy medium separation data and combined with the flotation test of broken ore, the combined heavy medium flotation separation process was used to carry out the beneficiation experiment. The results show that heavy medium separation is feasible for spodumene ore. The main valuable ore is spodumene and tantalum niobite, gangue is quartz, feldspar, mica, etc. The new NTMC500-350/400-T cyclone separation effect is obviously improved. When the separation density is 2.90 g/cm3 and Li2O grade is 4.30%, the recovery rate of type X Li2O is about 7.00% higher than that of type Y. After the improved heavy medium process, chemical grade lithium concentrate with Li2O grade of 5.20% was obtained when the separation density of one stage was 2.80 g/cm3 and that of the second stage was 3.15 g/cm3. The combined separation process will input the heavy medium ore into the flotation process, respectively, to maximize the utilization of resources, and obtain the separation index of Li2O grade of 5.20%, Li2O recovery of 83.43%, the fine mineral rate of 35.46%, to solve the problems of heavy medium separation medium ore where about, the flotation process into grinding, high operation cost, high raw ore loss rate.
