Can be used for the combination desliming process of ore dressing
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of desliming process of ore, relate in particular to a kind of combination desliming process 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, 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 is mainly poor, thin, assorted refractory iron ore, and utilization rate is low at present.Under such background, fully develop existing iron ore more and more important.And to develop this part ore resource, just must carry out fragmentation, fine grinding to ore, fully to realize the monomer dissociation of valuable mineral.But in the process of fine grinding, because the grindability of different minerals exists difference, the process characteristic of fine grinding in addition, there will be argillization phenomenon conventionally.The follow-up floatation indicators of generation meeting severe exacerbation of sludge, because the particle in sludge is generally micro-size fraction, the more difficult bubble surface that is attached to forms mineralized froth layer emersion, contrary its is more easily attached to coarse granule surface and forms slime coating, can significantly reduce like this floatability of the selective and coarse granule gangue mineral of reverse flotation process.In addition, the specific surface of sludge and surface can be large, can consume a large amount of floating agents, increase beneficiation cost.In a word, grade, the rate of recovery of the existence of sludge on flotation concentrate has direct impact, so as the attendant phenomenon of fine grinding process, industrially must take measures to eliminate the impact of sludge on follow-up sorting operation.
Process the measure of sludge, common are the dispersion of strengthening ore pulp, classification, desliming etc.Wherein, adopting the method removal sludge of desliming is more common way.Selective flocculation to remove slime is to form iron mineral floc sedimentation by " bridging " effect to realize ore and the effective technology separating of sludge, it both can remove the most of sludge in iron ore, thereby eliminate the adverse effect of sludge to follow-up ore dressing process, can also improve the grade of iron, and ensure that iron mineral can be with mud heavy losses, investment cost is low, can process preferably fine fraction mineral.
For the equipment of desliming, common are hydrocyclone, thickener, various desliming buckets etc.Cyclone is a kind of efficient simple desliming device, there is equipment and take up an area that little, treating capacity is large, the feature 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 the impact such as feed ore concentration and pressure, easily fluctuation, be difficult to ensure the continuity of production, so affect the stability of the mineral processing index of whole flow process.And cyclone is not suitable for adopting Flocculation desliming method.Desliming bucket separate unit treating capacity is less, and on producing, is difficult to control.For the beneficiation flowsheet of three sections of needs or above desliming processing, the unstable of single hop desliming can affect whole desliming effect, so equipment operation rate is difficult to ensure.
Be the iron ore resource of fine grain teeth cloth for valuable mineral, conventionally need to carry out three sections or three sections of above grinding operations, and between every section of grinding operation, also often need to carry out desliming, to prevent that primary mud and secondary mud from exerting an influence to follow-up sorting operation.Ore pulp enters before relevant sorting operation, often also needs to carry out desliming, to reduce the impact of sludge on concentrate grade.Based on the feature of this class ore resource, desliming highlights gradually as an important operation step in whole process program, reasonably desliming scheme has increased by ore dressing and has realized the feasibility that relevant resource synthetic development utilizes, and also there is no industrial practice at home and abroad but carry out three sections or above selective flocculation to remove slime technique using thickener as desliming device.Therefore, studying and improve existing desliming scheme selects poor iron ore resource to have very important directive significance for the abundant fine fraction difficulty of exploitation China's reserves.
