Description

Beneficiation method for low-grade zinc-containing raw ore
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the comprehensive technical field of inorganic chemical industry and mineral processing technology, relates to resource utilization of low-grade zinc-containing raw ore, and particularly relates to a mineral processing method of low-grade zinc-containing raw ore.
Background
The production and consumption of zinc in China are at the top of the world, domestic zinc resources cannot meet the production, and a large amount of zinc raw materials need to be imported every year. China is a country with abundant zinc oxide resources, and the reserve of zinc metal in zinc oxide ores in China is about 2800 ten thousand tons, which accounts for about 27.7 percent of the reserve of zinc metal in the zinc oxide ores in the world. The zinc grade of the zinc oxide ore in China is low on the whole, and the average grade is less than 5%.
Therefore, the method has important strategic significance for effectively developing and utilizing low-grade zinc oxide ore resources and relieving the problem of insufficient supply of domestic zinc raw materials.
The main process for utilizing the low-grade zinc oxide ore comprises the following steps: the production of the zinc hypoxide by the pyrogenic process is limited by national industrial policies due to the high energy consumption and high pollution of the process.
Flotation is the main process for treating zinc oxide ore at present, but regarding the flotation process of the zinc oxide ore, the foreign selection indexes of the zinc oxide ore are as follows: the zinc grade is 36-40%, the recovery rate is 60-70%, and the highest recovery rate is 78%; the selection indexes of the zinc oxide ore in China are as follows: the zinc grade is 35-38%, the recovery rate is 68% on average, and the highest recovery rate is 73%. Therefore, the problems of low ore dressing recovery rate, low concentrate grade and the like are common problems existing in the ore dressing of zinc oxide ores at home and abroad, a large amount of sodium sulfide needs to be added for vulcanization treatment of the flotation zinc oxide, and the zinc after vulcanization coating can be directly used as a raw material for producing metal zinc or zinc oxide after secondary treatment of pyrogenic process or pressure oxidation.
As for the wet extraction of zinc ore, sulfuric acid leaching, calcium chloride, ammonium chloride, etc. are mainly known in the prior art. The sulfuric acid leaching method has low selectivity, can leach a large amount of soluble silicon in the ore, the generated colloidal silicon is difficult to filter, and the acid leaching method generates a large amount of sulfate slag, so that great environmental protection treatment pressure is caused; the sulfuric acid leaching can not treat the zinc silicate and zinc ferrite components in the ore. The calcium chloride method cannot effectively treat leaching of components such as zinc silicate, zinc ferrite and the like in raw ores, and has the disadvantages of unsatisfactory leaching rate, high-temperature leaching and poor comprehensive economic benefit. In the ammonium chloride process, however, the recovery of zinc from the leachate after leaching the crude ore is very difficult and is not suitable for industrial use.
Therefore, the existing process cannot satisfactorily utilize the low-grade zinc-containing raw ore.

The concrete process steps
Step 1 extraction
Mixing the ground low-grade zinc-containing raw ore with a prepared leaching agent according to a certain proportion, and stirring and leaching. The leaching agent may be selected from: a mixed aqueous solution of ammonia and ammonium bicarbonate; a mixed aqueous solution of ammonia and ammonium carbonate; a mixed aqueous solution of ammonia, ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium carbonate.
The concentration of total ammonia and the concentration of available carbonate in the leaching agent are not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can select the concentration according to the actual needs by combining the factors such as raw ore components, grade and the like.
In the preferred scheme, the mass concentration of the total ammonia in the leaching agent is 5-15%, more preferably 6-8%, and the preferred concentration range can achieve sufficient leaching effect and avoid the problems of waste and environmental protection caused by excessive ammonia.
In a preferred scheme, the amount of available carbonate in the leaching agent is increased by 0-500% on the basis of the difference obtained by subtracting the amount of carbonate introduced by zinc carbonate in the raw material from the theoretical consumption of carbonate in complexed zinc, and more preferably, the amount of available carbonate in the leaching agent is increased by 50% -150% on the basis of the difference obtained by subtracting the amount of carbonate introduced by zinc carbonate in the raw material from the theoretical consumption of carbonate in complexed zinc. The consumption of carbonate in the theory of complex zinc is the consumption of carbonate which is used for completely converting zinc element in raw ore into zinc ammonium carbonate. Thus, the molar concentration of available carbonate in the lixiviant can be calculated as follows:
Clixiviant carbonate radical=(nTotal zinc of raw ore-nRaw mineral zinc carbonate)×a/VLixiviant
Wherein, CLixiviant carbonate radicalIs the molar concentration of available carbonate in the lixiviant, nTotal zinc of raw oreIs the amount of material containing zinc element in the zinc raw ore, nRaw mineral zinc carbonateIs the amount of zinc carbonate in the zinc-containing raw ore, VLixiviantIs the volume of the leaching agent, a is a coefficient, and the value of a is 100 to 600 percent, preferably 150 to 250 percent. The mass concentration of carbonate in the lixiviant can be converted according to the molar concentration.
The optimized effective carbonate concentration of the leaching agent can ensure that zinc in raw ore is completely leached, can realize the circulation of carbonate in the process, and can avoid the pressure of excessive carbonate on the subsequent process treatment.
The weight ratio of the leaching agent to the zinc-containing raw ore powder is not particularly limited as long as the zinc component can be leached. Preferably, the weight ratio of the leaching agent to the zinc-containing raw ore powder is 3:1 to 5:1, so that a satisfactory leaching effect can be obtained, and the waste of the leaching agent is avoided.
The leaching temperature is not particularly limited as long as the zinc component in the raw ore is leached. Preferably leaching is carried out at normal temperature, for example leaching is carried out at 15-30 ℃; the leaching may also be carried out at slightly elevated temperatures (e.g., 30-55 ℃). The temperature can be selected according to actual conditions.
The zinc-containing raw ore is mixed with the leaching agent and stirred for a period of time which is not particularly limited as long as the zinc component in the raw ore is leached, and the stirring time is preferably 1 to 4 hours, more preferably 1 to 2 hours.
During leaching, zinc element in raw ore is converted into zinc ammine complex ions (mainly zinc ammine complex ions at each level) and enters into a liquid phase. And filtering after leaching to obtain a leaching solution containing zinc ammonia complex ions, wherein the leaching solution can be used for the subsequent precipitation process. The concentration of zinc ammine complex ions in the leachate is not particularly limited, but the concentration of zinc ammine complex ions (based on the mass of zinc element) in the leachate is preferably more than 10g/L, more preferably 10-50 g/L, so that the comprehensive economic benefit of the method disclosed by the invention can be optimized. Optionally, the leachate may be purified by conventional methods, if necessary.
Step 2 precipitation
In the precipitation step, calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide is added into the leachate containing zinc ammine complex ions to convert carbonate/bicarbonate radical in the leachate into calcium carbonate, meanwhile, the balance of zinc ammine complex ions-zinc hydroxide in the leachate is shifted, part of zinc ammine complex ions are decomposed, and part of zinc components are mainly coprecipitated with calcium carbonate in the form of zinc hydroxide.
In the precipitation step, the amount of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide added is not particularly limited as long as carbonate/bicarbonate in the leachate is converted into calcium carbonate and part of the zinc component is converted into a form of zinc hydroxide precipitate. Preferably, the amount of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide added substantially matches the amount of available carbonate in the leach solution, for example, the amount of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide material added in the precipitation step is 100% to 130%, more preferably 100% to 110% of the amount of available carbonate material in the leach solution. Proper amount of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide is added, which is helpful for controlling the process cost and improving the grade of finished zinc products.
In the precipitation step, calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide is added into the leaching solution, and the mixture is stirred for reaction to generate solid precipitate. The reaction temperature is not particularly limited, but since the reaction can be favorably carried out without heating, it is particularly preferable to carry out the reaction at room temperature (for example, 15 to 25 ℃ C.), on the one hand, energy can be saved, and on the other hand, environmental pollution due to volatilization of ammonia can be reduced. The stirring time is not particularly limited as long as a precipitate is obtained, and stirring is preferably performed for 1 to 2 hours.
And filtering after stirring to obtain a first solid and a first filtrate. The main components of the first solid are zinc hydroxide and calcium carbonate. The first filtrate still contains part of the zinc ammine complex ions and is continuously used for the subsequent calcium zincate synthesis.
Step 3 calcium zincate Synthesis
And adding calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide into the first filtrate, and stirring for reaction. The ratio of the amount of the calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide to the amount of the zinc ammine complex ion in the first filtrate is preferably 1 to 1.2:2, more preferably 1 to 1.1: 2. The reaction temperature is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 15 to 90 ℃, preferably 20 to 90 ℃, and more preferably 30 to 60 ℃; or the reaction temperature of 15-25 ℃ is also preferably selected, and the temperature range has the advantages of no need of heating, energy conservation and reduction of ammonia volatilization. Filtering can be carried out after the reaction is carried out for 0.5-2 hours (preferably 0.5-1 hour), and long-time reaction and ageing processes are not needed. Filtering to obtain a second solid and a second filtrate. The second solid contains calcium zincate as main component, and carbon dioxide may be introduced into the second filtrate for reuse in leaching zinc-containing raw ore. In the step, calcium zincate is synthesized in a zinc ammonia environment, and the leached zinc component is further precipitated and recovered.
Step 4 calcination
Mixing the first solid and the second solid according to an actual required proportion, drying, and calcining at 850-1050 ℃ to obtain a final product: comprises a mixture of zinc oxide and calcium oxide.
In addition, in a further embodiment, in order to obtain a mixture with a higher percentage of zinc oxide, step 2 (precipitation) can be carried out in two steps, step 2a (pretreatment), step 2b (zinc precipitation):
step 2a pretreatment
In the pretreatment step, a certain amount of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide is added into the leachate obtained in the step 1 (leaching), and calcium carbonate precipitation is formed with the surplus available carbonate in the leachate, so that the surplus available carbonate is removed from the leachate. The surplus available carbonate refers to an available carbonate other than the carbonate participating in the formation of the zinc ammine carbonate. The amount of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide added in the pretreatment step may be appropriately determined depending on the amount of available carbonate remaining in the leachate.
For example: detecting the total concentration of available carbonate in the leachate, calculating the amount of surplus available carbonate except carbonate participating in formation of the zinc ammonium carbonate in the leachate by combining the total volume of the leachate (for the zinc ammonium carbonate, the amount of zinc ammonium complex ions and the carbonate ions is approximately in a 1:1 relationship), and obtaining the amount of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide (allowing a slight excess) required to be added for removing part or all of the surplus available carbonate in the leachate. For example, the amount of the substance of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide added in the present step can be calculated as follows:
npretreatment of=(nLeach liquor carbonate-nZinc ammonia complex ion)×b
Wherein n isPretreatment ofThe amount of the substance of calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide added in the pretreatment step, nLeach liquor carbonateThe amount of available carbonate in the leachate, nZinc ammonia complex ionThe amount of the zinc ammine complex ion in the leaching solution, and b is a coefficient. The value range of b may be, for example, 0<b is less than or equal to 110%: if desired, to make available surplus carbonate radicalsIn this way, the value of b can be, for example, between 90% and 110%; if it is desired to remove only a portion of the remaining available carbonate, b can be chosen, for example, from 60% ≦ b<90%, or 30% or less of b<60%, or 0<b<30 percent. Under the condition that b is more than or equal to 90% and less than or equal to 110%, the process can obtain the final product with high zinc grade.
