Combined inhibitor of lead zinc oxide ore in lead zinc sulfur sulfide tailings and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lead-zinc oxide ore dressing, and particularly relates to a combined inhibitor for lead-zinc oxide ore in lead-zinc sulfide tailings and application thereof.
Background
The sulfuration-oxidation mixed lead-zinc ore is an important lead-zinc ore resource. The hydrophobicity of sulphide minerals is stronger than that of oxidic minerals, so sulphide mineral recovery is relatively simple, and therefore the key to the utilisation of such ore resources is the recovery of oxidic minerals.
When recycling mineral resources in the vulcanized-oxidized mixed lead-zinc ore, a process of firstly floating vulcanized minerals and then floating oxidized minerals is generally adopted. The recovery of lead-zinc oxide minerals generally adopts a vulcanization flotation process of lead and zinc, namely, lead oxide is recovered firstly by adopting a vulcanization-xanthate method, and then zinc oxide minerals are recovered from lead oxide tailings by adopting a vulcanization-fatty amine method. However, the method has obvious disadvantages that (1) the oxidized minerals are hard to sulfide under normal temperature, and (2) the application of the aliphatic amine has high requirements on the pulp environment. (3) The oxidized minerals are brittle and have fine embedded granularity, and the fine oxidized minerals are easy to lose in tailings by adopting a conventional flotation process. In conclusion, the conventional inhibitor and the flotation process have the problems of high recovery cost, poor recovery effect and relatively complex process.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a combined inhibitor with high separation efficiency of lead zinc oxide ore in lead zinc sulfur sulfide tailings and application thereof, and the combined inhibitor simplifies the process flow, reduces the recovery cost, and improves the floatation level and the comprehensive utilization rate of resources of complex and difficult-to-separate lead zinc ore in China.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the problems in the background art, the invention provides the combined inhibitor for the lead zinc oxide ores in the lead zinc sulfide tailings and the application thereof, and the combined inhibitor with high separation efficiency and the reverse flotation process are used, so that the process flow is simplified, the recovery cost is reduced, the synchronous inhibition and recovery of low-grade refractory lead zinc oxide ores are realized, and the flotation level and the comprehensive utilization rate of resources of complex refractory lead zinc ores are improved.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
The combined inhibitor comprises sodium fluosilicate, sodium sulfide and sodium humate, wherein the mass ratio of the sodium fluosilicate to the sodium sulfide to the sodium humate is 2:5:1.
The combined inhibitor is applied to a lead zinc oxide ore reverse flotation recovery process in lead zinc sulfide tailings.
Preferably, the lead oxide ore is anglesite, and the zinc oxide ore is zinc ferrite spinel or zincite.
Preferably, gangue minerals contained in the lead-zinc-sulfur sulfide tailings are mainly calcite and dolomite.
Preferably, the reverse flotation recovery process specifically comprises the following steps:
S1, grinding lead-zinc-sulfur sulfide tailings to obtain ore pulp with grinding fineness of-200 meshes accounting for 90%;
S2, sequentially adding sodium fluosilicate, sodium sulfide and sodium humate into the ore pulp obtained in the step S1 to serve as a combined inhibitor, adding a collector, performing reverse flotation operation, and performing primary roughing to obtain roughing concentrate and roughing tailings, wherein the roughing concentrate is mainly lead zinc oxide minerals, and the roughing tailings are mainly gangue minerals;
And S3, adding a collector into the roughing concentrate obtained in the step S2, and then performing twice scavenging operation, wherein the second scavenging operation is blank scavenging, and combining the roughing tailings obtained in the step S2 with the flotation foam obtained in the scavenging operation to perform tailing throwing.
Preferably, the collecting agent comprises oleic acid and oxidized paraffin soap, and the mass ratio of the oleic acid to the oxidized paraffin soap is 3:1.
Preferably, in S2, 6000g/t of combined inhibitor is added per ton of raw ore, wherein 1500g/t of ammonium fluosilicate, 3750g/t of sodium sulfide and 750g/t of sodium humate are added.
Preferably, in S2, 300g/t of collector is charged per ton of raw ore.
Preferably, in S3, 100g/t of collector is charged per ton of raw ore.
The combined inhibitor ammonium fluosilicate, sodium sulfide and sodium humate can realize the flotation separation of lead zinc oxide ore from lead zinc sulfide tailings, and mainly depend on the synergy and strengthening effect among 3 medicaments. The ammonium fluosilicate mainly plays roles in erosion and cleaning of minerals, and the pretreatment of fluosilicic acid can improve the relative content of lead and zinc atoms on the surface of lead-zinc oxide ores, especially zinc oxide ores such as siliceous heteropolar ores. In addition, because the lead-zinc-sulfur sulfide tailings generally contain a large amount of gangue minerals such as calcite, dolomite and the like, ammonium fluosilicate has certain acidity and has a cleaning effect on calcium and magnesium ions deposited on the surface of the lead-zinc oxide ores, so that fresh surfaces are exposed. The sodium sulfide mainly plays a role in vulcanizing target minerals, and the sodium sulfide and lead and zinc atoms on the surface of the lead zinc oxide ore undergo oxidation-reduction reaction, so that a lead sulfide and zinc sulfide film similar to the lead zinc sulfide ore is formed. The pretreatment of ammonium fluorosilicate further promotes the action of sodium sulfide. The addition of sodium humate reacts with lead sulfide and zinc sulfide films generated after the action of sodium sulfide, and physical and chemical adsorption further forms a covering layer of macromolecular organic matters on the surfaces of the lead sulfide and zinc sulfide films, so that the floatability difference of gangue minerals such as lead zinc oxide ore and calcite under a fatty acid system is increased.
The traditional lead-zinc sulfide tailings are subjected to flotation of lead-zinc oxide minerals, a lead-zinc sulfide tailings vulcanization-positive flotation process is used, namely, the lead oxide minerals are firstly floated by a vulcanization-xanthate method, then zinc oxide minerals are recovered from the lead oxide tailings by a vulcanization-fatty amine method, corresponding inhibitors are added in the separation process to inhibit the gangue minerals from floating upwards, and the positive flotation process can generate more negative influences such as flotation foam and the like due to factors such as collector types and has a larger influence on the flotation recovery effect. The reverse flotation process of the invention is to inhibit the upward floating of lead zinc oxide minerals by combining inhibitors, and to float gangue minerals by collectors, contrary to the traditional forward flotation process and the substances inhibiting the upward floating, and is therefore called a reverse flotation process. The invention improves the separation effect, in particular to the flotation effect of low-grade lead-zinc oxide minerals by applying the combined inhibitor in the reverse flotation process.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. Compared with the traditional lead-zinc oxide mineral flotation process, the reverse flotation process adopted by the method has the advantages of simple flow, less equipment investment and the like. The traditional lead-zinc oxide mineral flotation process generally adopts a vulcanization-xanthate method to recover lead oxide by preferential flotation, and then adopts a vulcanization-fatty amine method to further recover zinc oxide. The reverse flotation process can realize synchronous recovery of lead oxide and zinc oxide.
2. The invention adopts the combined inhibitor with high separation efficiency and strong adaptability to ore property fluctuation, and ensures the flotation recovery effect of the lead-zinc oxide minerals.
3. The combined inhibitor and the reverse flotation process adopted by the invention realize synchronous recovery of lead oxide and zinc oxide, and have great theoretical value and economic value for improving the flotation level and the comprehensive utilization rate of resources of complex lead-zinc ores in China.
