Tungsten ore beneficiation methods are mainly hand-selected, HM election, re-election, flotation, magnetic separation and electrostatic separation. Wolframite in order to re-election dominated while scheelite flotation mainly associated. To the full recovery of useful components, improving the quality and tungsten concentrates recycling rate, currently the trend of dressing and smelting technology combined to increase the baking and Leaching and other hydrometallurgical refining methods.

Most tungsten metal recovery fine mud processing plant less than 50%. Sorting using tungsten fine mud shaker, belt chute with centrifugal concentrator. Single-use shaker sorting tungsten fine mud, the recovery rate is low. Since the 1960s the use of centrifugal concentrator, centrifugal ore – flotation, high intensity magnetic separation – flotation beneficiation process to make tungsten fine joint cement processing operations recovery rate of 10% to 20%.

Tungsten smelting and fire refining method are two kinds of water law. The use of wolframite concentrate or smelting scheelite concentrate, but different smelting process, so both wolframite deposits, there scheelite, we must each ore body, each calculated reserves. When the ore wolframite, scheelite coexists together, to elect a black tungsten concentrate and scheelite concentrate for smelting, respectively. The smelting of mineral raw materials as tungsten tungsten ore concentrates, containing WO3 should meet or greater than 65%. The pyrometallurgical into tungsten alloy (with W>70 or>65%) by Water Act, a positive tungsten smelting sodium, calcium APT or tungsten, etc. Finally, further processed into tungsten trioxide (containing WO3>=99.9%), then reducing agent (usually hydrogen) is reduced to tungsten powder (with W>=99.9%) and so on.

Tungsten is recovered from scheelite ore concentrates, or other tungsten concentrates which may, or may not contain scheelite in the form of sodium tungstate and in yields up to 99.5 percent or more by a process in which ground ore substantially below 200 mesh in particle size is first added to a 50 percent sodium hydroxide solution while being agitated to such an extent that the resulting mixture becomes a semi-solid as the temperature is raised above 80C. The semi-solid is then baked at 135 to 145C for about 1 to 2 hours, followed by adding sufficient water to the semi-solid to form a slurry having a sodium hydroxide concentration below 6 molar, separating the causticinsoluble sludge from the slurry and washing the sludge with a dilute sodium hydroxide solution to remove residual sodium tungstate.

Tungsten ore low must be integrated mineral-rich concentrate to a smelting raw material. According to the type of tungsten ore dressing it can be divided into wolframite and scheelite mineral beneficiation two types. Present mining to wolframite quartz vein type, accounting for the amount of ore taken out more than 90%. Tungsten ore dressing methods mainly include hand-selected, HM election, re-election, flotation, magnetic separation and electrostatic separation methods such as. Wolframite in order to re-election dominated by flotation mainly scheelite. Most of our wolframite is easy to choose the type of ore, while the composition of scheelite ore complex, and mostly of refractory ore, coupled with low grade, so not a lot of development.
 

In addition, tungsten oxide minerals such as tungsten China currently not recycled. China’s tungsten ore dressing and processing plant started in 1952 a large-scale factory in Dajishan Tungsten establish 125t / d of gravity concentration plant, the late 50s, former Soviet Union Mechanobr Research and Design Institute for the downhill , West Mountain and hilly Miyama tungsten designed three large-scale tungsten ore processing plant put into operation one after another. 40 years in the production practice constantly sum up experience, and absorb foreign advanced technology dressing, through continuous improvement, so that beneficiation process is improving daily, processing technical and economic indicators have reached the world advanced level. Nanchang representative non-ferrous metals such as tungsten ore beneficiation company targets, despite nearly 10 years in the annual decline in ore grade, the tungsten recovery remained at 84% or more of the high concentrate grade (WO3) 66.7 % ~ 68.9% (up to 12 tungsten national standards: WO3 content is not less than 65%), ore grade (WO3) 0.25% ~ 0.27%, tailing grade (WO3) 0.036% ~ 0.046%.

Tungsten consumption from other electronic and electrical applications, including electrical contacts, electron emitters and lead-in wires, is forecast to grow at 5.4% per annum through to 2018, more than double the overall trend.

The resistance of tungsten to wear and corrosion and its ability to withstand arcing make it a suitable metal for use in contacts and voltage regulators. Demand from these applications however is minor in term of volume, meaning by 2018 their share of demand would only be 2%.

This report seeks to examine the financial viability or otherwise of mining tungsten ore 10% and processing same into tungsten ore 65%. Processing and separation of the tungsten would be done in any of the processing plant stated in the body of the report.

The business would entail using mechanized method of mining to produce 250 tons per month of tungsten ore in which minimum of 25 tons of 65% tungsten would be extracted.

In the above projections 100tons of rocks with 10% tungsten content will give 10 tons of pure 100% tungsten which should translate to approx. 15 tons of 65% grade but putting recoveries and loss of material during processing and to allow for low expectations associated with mineral processing. We use a 10 tons of 65% grade in our estimates, possibilities are there that we might be able to achieve more than 10 tons.

The required start-up capital estimate of the business is N 64,000,000.00 and it would be funded from 30% equity N 19,200,000.00 and 70% loan N 44,800,000.00. the loan would be  used to finance our purchase and installation of the production plant and the working capital.

Tungsten, also known as wolfram, is a chemical element with symbol W and atomic number 74. The word tungsten comes from the Swedish language tungsten directly translatable to heavy stone.

Tungsten is a grayish-white lustrous metal, which is a solid at room temperature. Tungsten has the highest tensile strength. It has excellent corrosion resistance and is attacked only slightly by most mineral acids.

Tungsten（W）is a metal with a wide range of uses, the largest of which is as tungsten carbides in cemented carbides. Cemented carbides(also called hardmetals)are wear-resistant materials used by the metalworking, mining, and construction industries.

Tungsten metal wires, electrodes, and/or contacts are used in lighting, electrical, electronic, heating, and welding applications. Tungsten is also used to make heavy metal alloys for armaments, heat sinks, and high-density applications, such as weights and counterweights; superalloys for turbine blades; tool steels; and wear-resistant alloy parts and coatings.

Tungsten composites are used as a substitute for lead in bullets and shot. Tungsten chemical compounds are used in catalysts, inorganic pigments, and high-temperature lubricants.

Global tungsten demand has increased on average by 2.7% per annum since 2008, although estimates suggests that this will slow to 2.6% per annum in the years to 2018 as its direct use in lighting applications diminishes.

Representing 12% of total demand in 2013, tungsten used in lighting applications is forecast to decline by around 5% per annum in the year to 2018. the drop-off in demand is caused by the replacement of incandescent bulbs by fluorescent and LED bulbs in both industrial and domestic applications. On a positive note, however, these new lighting products require greater volumes of refractory tungsten alloys indirectly in their manufacture, boosting demand in the alloy sector.
