Tungsten, because of its high strength and high melting point occupies a prime position amongst metals. With depletion of high grade resources considerable R and D work is still being carried out in tungsten producing countries around the world for the processing of low grade and secondary resources. The paper gives a brief review of the hydrometallurgical processes developed to recover tungsten from low grade concentrates.
The R and D work carried out on purification and recovery of tungsten as tungstic oxide/ammonium paratungstate (APT) from a number of off-grade products such as table concentrate (WO3=66%, SiO2=2·2%, S=1·8%), middlings (18–20% WO3, and 28–30% S) and jig concentrate (4·6% WO3) are discussed in this paper. It has been found that more than 75% of silica and 90% of sulphur could be removed from the table concentrate by curing with hydrofluoric acid and subsequent roasting of the desilicated product at 650°C. In the case of middlings, it was possible to recover over 90% of tungsten as tungstic oxide by an oxidative roast followed by pressure leaching with soda.
A detailed study on the low grade jig concentrate to recover tungsten as APT, showed that over 90% extraction was possible by adopting the pressure leaching-solvent extraction route. Effect of parameters such as soda concentration, time, temperature and pressure during leaching; as well as extraction and stripping behaviour of tungsten from leach solution at different pH and aqueous to organic ratio during solvent extraction with Alamine-336, were studied and a flow-sheet was developed for processing of jig concentrate analysing 4·6% WO3.

Tungsten Ore Beneficiation Process
Tungsten ore beneficiation processes and other mineral processing operations with tungsten in the ore require accurate mass flow measurements to properly balance the grinding and separation circuits as well as to determine the true throughput impact of circuit changes. Determination of the mass flow requires an accurate measurement of the volumetric flow rate and the specific gravity of the slurry.

The tungsten ore industry requirements as well as the role: The tungsten mineral industry requirements (or mineral the industrial requirement), including the deposit boundary taste (WO3%), industrial grade (WO3%), mining excluding thickness (m) Thickness (m) and Stone.
Tungsten deposits associated useful components usually tin, molybdenum, bismuth, copper, lead, zinc, antimony, gold, silver, cobalt, beryllium, lithium, niobium, tantalum, rare earth, sulfur, phosphorus, arsenic, a piezoelectric crystal, melting crystals and fluorite. , Sulfur, phosphorus, arsenic, molybdenum, calcium, manganese, copper, tin, silicon, iron, antimony, bismuth, lead, zinc smelting process of tungsten and tungsten products harmful impurities, various types of tungsten concentrate products containing these harmful impurities, the state has developed the industry standard GB2825-81, tungsten ore (18), these harmful component, enriched After select technical approach, comprehensive recovery, become victims for the benefit of turning waste into treasure and comprehensive utilization.

Tungsten ores and concentrates are converted into the following intermediate products: APT, tungsten acid, sodium tungstate, tungsten metal powder, ferrotungsten, and tungsten carbide powder. Most of the APT is reduced to tungsten metal powder, which then may be processed into tungsten carbide powder or ferrotungsten.” End uses of tungsten include metal working, mining, and construction machinery and equipment, 74%; electrical and electronic machinery and equipment and transportation, 10%; lamps and lighting, 9%; chemicals, 4%; and other, 3%.
Beneficiation process of tungsten ore
Tungsten Ore Process
Tungsten ore is found in three forms: WS2 (rare), CaW04 (Sweden) and (FeMn)W04. We need the Mn just as much as the W, so don’t waste it. The first process is gleaned from the 1958 “Rare Metals Handbook”. First, the ore must be reduced to face powder size. We today would crush and grind, but that equipment and the alloys to build it, just will not be available for a long time.

Tungsten is a high melting point of rare metals in the fields of metallurgy and metal materials or refractory metals, tungsten and its alloys are extremely important function in the application of modern industrial, defense and high-tech materials one widely used in the aerospace, nuclear, The ship, the automotive industry, electrical industry, electronic industry, chemical industry and many other fields.
There are two methods: pyrometallurgical and water smelting. Wolframite or scheelite concentrate smelting, smelting process of deposit both wolframite and scheelite, respectively ore body, each calculated reserves. When the ores wolframite, scheelite symbiotic, wolframite and scheelite, to elect order respectively smelting.
