Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of desliming technology of ore, relate in particular to a kind of combination desliming technology that can be used for ore dressing.
Background technology
The resources characteristic of China's iron ore is that lean ore is many, fine-grained disseminated grain many, ore type is complicated, and is promptly poor, thin, assorted.Along with the fast development of China's steel industry, the iron ore resource of high-grad iron ore deposit and Yi Xuan is fewer and feweri, and remaining iron ore mainly is poor, thin, assorted refractory iron ore, and utilization rate is low at present.Under such background, it is more and more important fully to develop existing iron ore.And to develop this part ore resource, just must carry out fragmentation, fine grinding, with the monomer dissociation of abundant realization valuable mineral to ore.Yet in the process of fine grinding, because there is difference in the grindability of different minerals, the process characteristic of fine grinding the argillization phenomenon can occur usually in addition.The follow-up floatation indicators of generation meeting severe exacerbation of sludge; Because the particle in the sludge is generally micro-size fraction; Difficulty is attached to bubble surface and forms mineralized froth layer emersion; Opposite its is attached to the coarse granule surface more easily and forms the sludge cover cap, can significantly reduce the selectivity of reverse flotation process and the floatability of coarse granule gangue mineral like this.In addition, the specific surface of sludge and surface can be big, can consume a large amount of floating agents, increase beneficiation cost.In a word, the existence of sludge all has direct influence to grade, the rate of recovery of flotation concentrate, so as the attendant phenomenon of fine grinding process, something must be done in the industry eliminates the influence of sludge to follow-up sorting operation.
Handle the measure of sludge, common have the dispersion of the ore pulp of reinforcement, classification, a desliming etc.Wherein, adopting the method removal sludge of desliming is more common way.The selective flocculation desliming is to form the technology that the iron mineral floc sedimentation realizes that ore and sludge effectively separate through " bridging " effect; It both can remove the most of sludge in the iron ore; Thereby eliminate the adverse effect of sludge, can also improve the grade of iron, and guarantee that iron mineral can be with the mud heavy losses follow-up ore dressing process; Investment cost is low, can handle the fine fraction mineral preferably.
The equipment that is used for desliming, common have hydrocyclone, thickener, various desliming buckets etc.Cyclone is a kind of efficient simple desliming device; Have equipment take up an area of little, treating capacity big, the characteristics of small investment; Removing of the mud of, fine size light for density is effective especially, but the desliming effect of cyclone is vulnerable to influences such as feed ore concentration and pressure, fluctuates easily; Be difficult to guarantee the continuity of producing, so influence the stability of the mineral processing index of whole flow process.And cyclone is not suitable for adopting the flocculation Desliming method.Desliming bucket separate unit treating capacity is less, and is difficult to control on producing.For the beneficiation flowsheet of three sections of needs or above desliming processing, the instability of single hop desliming can influence whole desliming effect, so equipment operation rate is difficult to guarantee.
Be the iron ore resource of fine grain teeth cloth to valuable mineral, need carry out the grinding operation more than three sections or three sections usually, and between every section grinding operation, also often need carry out desliming, follow-up sorting operation is exerted an influence to prevent primary mud and secondary mud.Before ore pulp gets into relevant sorting operation, often also need carry out desliming, to reduce the influence of sludge to concentrate grade.Characteristics based on this type ore resource; Desliming highlights gradually and is an important operation step in the whole process program; Reasonably the desliming scheme has increased through ore dressing and has realized the feasibility that relevant resource synthetic development utilizes, and does not also have industrial practice at home and abroad but carry out three sections or above selective flocculation desliming technology with thickener as desliming device.Therefore, studying and improve existing desliming scheme selects the poor iron ore resource that crucial directive significance is arranged for the abundant fine fraction difficulty of exploitation China reserves.
