Fluorogypsum is a major by-product in fluorine chemical production. Due to its presence of free acids, soluble fluorides and trace amounts of heavy metals, it is highly acidic. Direct storage not only easily leads to soil acidification but also may cause fluorine pollution of groundwater, posing significant environmental risks.
Against the backdrop of increasingly strict environmental protection requirements and the consensus on resource recycling, the green treatment and high-value utilization of fluoroggypsum have become an urgent issue to be solved in the industry. Based on its technological accumulation and equipment experience in the field of powder processing, Cronus, with the precise application of Raymond mills, has provided a feasible technical path for the harmless and resource utilization of fluorogypsum.
Fluorogypsum treatment usually requires pretreatment steps such as neutralization, washing and filtration to reduce acidity and fluorine content. To achieve higher value-added utilization, drying and fine grinding become the key. Among them, the Raymond mill performs outstandingly in the fine grinding stage, capable of stably grinding the processed fluorogypsum to 200 mesh or even finer, meeting the fineness requirements of powder in various application scenarios.
Cronus Raymond mill
In terms of equipment performance, the Raymond mill adopts a vertical structure. Materials are effectively ground between the grinding roller and the grinding ring, featuring high grinding efficiency and low energy consumption. Its built-in analyzer system can precisely control the fineness of the finished product, ensuring uniform powder particle size and avoiding the occurrence of coarse particles or overgrinding.
For materials like fluorogypsum that are slightly corrosive and adhesive, Cronus has made special optimizations in the material and structure of the equipment. For instance, key components are made of wear-resistant alloys, and the sealing structure has also been strengthened, thereby enhancing the durability of the equipment, reducing downtime for maintenance, and ensuring continuous and stable production.
The Raymond mill system is also equipped with an efficient dust removal device. Combined with a closed conveying design, it effectively suppresses dust overflow and ensures that the entire line’s emissions meet standards. This is particularly crucial for handling fluorine-containing materials, as it not only protects the health of operators but also prevents secondary pollution, truly achieving green closed-loop processing.
In practical applications, the fluorogypsum powder treated by Cronus Raymond mill has significantly improved activity and fluidity, making it more convenient for subsequent modification and compounding. For instance, in the cement industry, finely ground fluorogypsum can be used as a retarder, evenly dispersed in clinker to precisely control the setting time. In self-leveling mortar or gypsum-based wall materials, sufficient fineness is the key to ensuring fluidity and strength. In addition, high-fineness fluorogypsum powder can also be used as raw material to prepare calcium sulfate whiskers, further expanding its high-value application space.
The advantages of Cronus lie not only in the performance of its equipment, but also in its in-depth understanding of industrial solid waste treatment scenarios. The company possesses comprehensive capabilities ranging from process design, equipment selection to full-line integration, and can provide customized solutions based on customers’ production capacity requirements. Whether it is single-machine configuration or full-line output, the balance between practicality and economy is emphasized to avoid the cost burden caused by excessive configuration or unstable operation.
In the process of promoting the fluorgypsum treatment project, Cronus adheres to a pragmatic and dedicated attitude. It does not pursue empty concepts but focuses on practical issues such as “whether it can operate stably”, “whether energy consumption is controllable”, and “whether the finished products can meet downstream standards”. The Raymond mill is not an isolated unit but a crucial link connecting the front-end processing and the back-end application. Its stable and efficient operation directly affects the front-end processing effect and the quality of the final product.
The green solution for fluorgypsum requires not only a scientific technological route but also the support of reliable equipment. Cronus takes the Raymond mill as its core and starts from solving practical problems. With solid technology and stable performance, it has paved an operational and sustainable path for the resource utilization of fluoroggypsum – this is not just a concept on paper, but a real practice that operates in the workshop every day.
