Bauxite tailings have a hardness of 2.5-3.5 and are suitable for processing by jaw, impact and heavy hammer crushers. Tailings have a wide range of uses, and suitable equipment can improve efficiency, achieve resource reuse and promote green development.

Bauxite tailings are a by-product of bauxite processing and have a variety of industrial uses and potential value. In order to better understand and process bauxite tailings, the rational selection of crushing and processing equipment is the key. The following is a recommendation for the hardness of bauxite tailings and its corresponding processing equipment.

Hardness characteristics of bauxite tailings

Experiments have shown that the hardness of bauxite tailings is approximately between 2.5-3.5, similar to calcite, between talc and fluorite. This hardness makes it suitable for the use of specific crushing and processing equipment, which can efficiently complete material processing.

Bauxite tailings crushing and processing equipment recommendation

Jaw crusher

Jaw crusher is an ideal equipment for processing bauxite tailings and is suitable for coarse crushing of large pieces of material. The equipment has a simple structure, strong crushing capacity, easy maintenance and high cost performance. It is a common choice for primary crushing of bauxite tailings. There are different series of jaw crushers on the market to meet different production needs.

Impact crusher

For medium-hard bauxite tailings, the impact crusher is an efficient medium and fine crushing equipment. Its advantage is that the discharge particle size can be adjusted to meet different particle size requirements. The impact crusher has good particle shape and high quality, and is widely used in the processing of bauxite tailings.

Heavy hammer crusher

The heavy hammer crusher is a device that integrates the functions of hammer crushing and impact crushing. It can crush medium-hardness materials to finished product particle size at one time, which is suitable for users who need to reduce production processes. It can be used for both dry and wet operations and is a very cost-effective crushing equipment.

Uses of bauxite tailings

Bauxite tailings are not only suitable for construction, refractory materials and cement production, but also play a role in brick and tile manufacturing and chemical materials. For example, the bauxite tailings in Shanxi have a refractoriness of over 1799℃ and can be used as high-aluminum refractory materials, while the tailings in Pingguo, Guangxi are suitable for brick making due to their high iron content, and their strength can reach twice that of ordinary bricks.

Importance of bauxite tailings processing equipment

Selecting the right equipment not only improves processing efficiency, but also enables effective reuse of resources and promotes green and sustainable development.
