Wollastonite is a silicate mineral, the main component of which is CaSi3O9. This material with fibrous and needle-like characteristics is non-toxic, chemically resistant, thermally stable and dimensionally stable. It also has glassy and pearly luster, low water and oil absorption, and excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Therefore, it is widely used in industries such as ceramics, rubber, plastics, metallurgy, coatings, paints and building materials. This material has a high market value and has become an important basic non-metallic mineral with huge application market demand and broad development prospects.

The products in the wollastonite market are mainly divided into wollastonite powder, ultrafine wollastonite powder, acicular wollastonite powder and modified wollastonite powder.

The particle size of wollastonite powder is less than 43μm. There are two main products on the market: ordinary wollastonite powder and refined wollastonite powder. It is mainly used in ceramic raw materials and glazes, welding rods, metallurgical protective slag, paint fillers and other fields.

Wollastonite ore often contains a variety of impurity minerals, such as calcite, quartz, garnet, diopside, etc. The presence of these impurity minerals seriously affects the quality and utilization value of wollastonite. Therefore, the intelligent sorting of wollastonite mainly faces the following difficulties:

1. There are many kinds of impurity minerals: There are many kinds of impurity minerals in wollastonite ore, and their physical and chemical properties vary greatly.

2. High sorting accuracy requirements: In order to meet the needs of industrial applications, the purity of wollastonite must meet certain standards.

3. High production efficiency requirements: While ensuring sorting accuracy, it is also necessary to improve production efficiency to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production.

Intelligent sorting of wollastonite is an important technology in the field of modern mining. It uses advanced artificial intelligence and photoelectric sorting technology to achieve efficient and accurate sorting of wollastonite. The following is a detailed analysis of intelligent sorting of wollastonite:

In view of the difficulties in wollastonite sorting, the following intelligent sorting technologies are currently used:

Artificial Intelligence Photoelectric Sorting Technology

Principle: Utilize the differences in surface features such as color, luster, texture, and shape between wollastonite and impurity minerals to identify and classify them through artificial intelligence algorithms.

Advantages: It can efficiently and accurately separate wollastonite and remove a large amount of impurity minerals. This technology also has the advantages of high automation and high separation efficiency.

Application case: A large domestic wollastonite enterprise introduced MINGDER Optoelectronics' artificial intelligence sorting equipment, which achieved accurate sorting of wollastonite ore, controlled the loss on ignition of finished products at a low level, and the concentrate yield and stable sorting effect met customer expectations.

Compared with traditional sorting technology, wollastonite intelligent sorting technology has the following advantages:

1. High sorting accuracy: It can efficiently and accurately sort out wollastonite or needle-shaped wollastonite to improve product quality.

2. High production efficiency: high automation, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

3. Energy saving and environmental protection: reducing the discharge of waste rock and tailings, which is beneficial to environmental protection and resource conservation.

With the continuous development of MINGDER artificial intelligence and photoelectric sorting technology, wollastonite intelligent sorting technology will be more widely used in the future. By continuously optimizing the sorting algorithm and equipment performance, the sorting efficiency and accuracy of wollastonite will be further improved, providing strong support for the development of the wollastonite industry.
