A kind of preparation and using method thereof of the collecting agent for gold, silver and platinum family element
(1) technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation and using method thereof for gold, silver and platinum family element collecting agent.
(2) background technology
Froth flotation is that technology maturation, the efficiency of separation are high, the mineral of applied range processing method for separating, and its principal character is to utilize mineral surfaces wetability difference, at one or more object materials of the selective enrichment of solid-liquid-gas three phase boundary.In foam floating process, conventional collecting agent has xanthate, black powder, thiourethane, xanthogen formate, thiocarbamide etc.
U.S. Pat 3,925,218 disclose oil-soluble dialkyl group thiourethane is dissolved in dialkyl dithiophosphate (be commonly called as black powder, the call black powder in the following text) aqueous solution, and the mixture solution making contributes to improve the flotation recovery rate of copper.Possible cause is that dialkyl group thiourethane is dissolved in the black powder aqueous solution, contributes to its dispersion in ore pulp, thereby improves its collecting performance.
U.S. Pat 5,232,581 disclose oil-soluble pi-allyl alkyl thiourethane is dissolved in the mixture solution that the black powder aqueous solution makes and has cooperative effect, can neutrality under alkali condition from base metal ore flotation gold, silver and platinum group metal, the rate of recovery also makes moderate progress.
Also there is defect in the flotation gold, silver that the above-mentioned molten sub-black powder of pi-allyl alkyl thiourethane makes and the collecting agent of platinum group metal.First, this collecting agent has foaming characteristic, and its foam viscosity is large; Secondly,, because the thiourethane of oily solubility in the aqueous solution of black powder is limited, need result of use together with supplementary catching agent is better, in the time that supplementary catching agent is thiourethane, has equally the problem of rapid diffusion in ore pulp.
(3) summary of the invention
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of selectively good, collecting ability is high, foam viscosity is moderate Compositional type flotation collector and using method thereof.The present invention adopts and add alkanol in the black powder solution of pi-allyl alkyl thiourethane, thereby improves the foam viscosity of collecting agent, can also improve the solubility of thiourethane in black powder solution.In the time adopting thiourethane to do supplementary catching agent, can increase the rate of dispersion of thiourethane in the aqueous solution in addition, the addition of foaming agent while simultaneously reducing floating operation, improves the rate of recovery of gold, silver and platinum group metal, increases economic benefit.
The present invention is Compositional type flotation collector, for reclaiming gold, silver and platinum group metal, is made up of collecting agent black powder, pi-allyl alkylthio carbamate and alcohol.Wherein the molecular formula of black powder is as follows:
The alkyl that in formula (I), R is C2-C8, X is alkali metal (as sodium, potassium etc.) and ammonium.
The molecular formula of pi-allyl alkyl thiourethane is as follows
In formula (II), R is also the alkyl of C2-C8.
Alcohol can be straight chain alkanol, can be also branched alkanol, and molecular formula is as follows:
ROH (III)
The alkyl that in formula (III), R is C3-C9, the preferably alkyl of C4-C7.
The volume ratio of black powder of the present invention and thiourethane is 80: 20 to 20: 80, be preferably 65: 35 to 35: 65, and alcohol accounts for the 0.5-5% of mixture cumulative volume.
Collecting agent preparation method of the present invention is simple, in proportion black powder, thiourethane and alcohol is added in container, is at room temperature stirred well to transparent.
The present invention also provides the using method of this collecting agent.First being ore grinding, ore being ground to suitable fineness with ball mill, thick, thin product is respectively+and 75 μ m mass content are between 14% to 40%, and the mass content of-38 μ m is between 40% to 90%; Then prepare ore pulp, making the solid masses content in ore pulp is 20~50%; Then size mixing, by adding the pH value of lime adjustment ore pulp between 8.0~11.0; Be finally flotation, add foaming agent and above-mentioned collecting agent, conventionally, ore per ton approximately adds the collecting agent of 2~100 grams, and 4~30 grams of foaming agents, according to conventional foam flotation method flotation gold, silver and platinum group metal.
Collecting agent of the present invention can use separately, and result of use is better together with supplementary catching agent (as xanthate, black powder, thiourethane, thiocarbamide, mercaptobenzothiazoler).The consumption of supplementary catching agent is no more than 50% of collecting agent gross mass.
(4) specific embodiment
The present invention is further illustrated by following example, but is not subject to the restriction of these examples.
In container, add black powder solution, then under agitation add pi-allyl alkyl thiourethane, finally add alkanol, it is mixed, obtain product of the present invention.
With ball mill by ore be ground to slightly, thin be respectively+75 μ m mass content of product fineness account for 40%, the mass content of-38 μ m accounts for 90%, coarse grain flotation output concentrate 1, coarse grain flotation tailing returns to former grinding machine regrinding and reconcentration, particulate adopts agitation type flotation machine flotation other, one roughing, once purging selection, triple cleaning, respectively output concentrate 2 and mine tailing.
In example 1-5, select isobutyl Sodium Aerofloat (A), N-pi-allyl-O-ethyl thiourethane (B), n-butanol to make gold in collecting agent flotation sulphide ore, collector dosage 70g/t, regime of agent is in table 1.
