Description

Spodumene ore beneficiation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a spodumene ore dressing method, and belongs to the technical field of mineral processing engineering.
Background
Lithium is known as new energy metal in the century and an important element for promoting the world to move forward, is an important rare metal, and can be used as a heat carrier of a nuclear reactor, a protective material of thermal neutrons, a moderator, a solvent of nuclear fuel, high-energy fuel, a high-performance lubricant, a high-power battery material and the like. The sources of lithium are mainly of two types: one is salt lake brine lithium; the other is the lithium ore, which is a typical representative of lithium ore.
The common beneficiation processes for spodumene ores are: flotation, gravity separation, magnetic separation, hand separation and the like. Because the spodumene ore deposit is generally granite pegmatite type, the spodumene ore deposit is often associated with minerals such as feldspar, quartz, mica, chlorite and the like, and the minerals belong to silicate minerals and have similar density and floatability; meanwhile, spodumene ore is easy to weather, and the ground ore is seriously argillized, so that the ore dressing difficulty of spodumene is high. The separation index obtained by adopting the conventional beneficiation method and production flow is poor, and Li in lithium concentrate2The grade of O is generally lower than 6%, meanwhile, the tailings also contain more lithium minerals, lithium resources cannot be reasonably utilized, and waste is serious.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a reasonable beneficiation method, which adopts different treatment processes aiming at spodumene with different particle sizes to realize effective separation of the spodumene and gangue minerals.
In order to solve the technical problem, the invention provides a spodumene ore dressing method, which comprises the following steps:
(1) grinding the spodumene raw ore in a grinding machine until the particle size of-0.074 mm accounts for 30-60%;
(2) screening the grinded spodumene ore, and grading into two products of +0.104mm and-0.104 mm;
(3) carrying out gravity separation on the spodumene ore with the particle size fraction of +0.104mm by using a centrifugal separator to obtain a coarse-particle-size spodumene concentrate product;
(4) adding sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide into 0.104 mm-size spodumene ore pulp for stirring for a long time, wherein the using amount of the sodium carbonate is 1000-3000 g/t, the using amount of the sodium hydroxide is 400-1500 g/t, and the stirring time is 30-40 minutes;
(5) adding lignosulfonate and modified oleic acid respectively for full size mixing, wherein the dosage is 20-100 g/t and 200-600 g/t respectively;
(6) and performing primary coarse flotation, secondary fine flotation and secondary sweeping flotation to obtain a fine-grained spodumene concentrate product.
The lignosulfonate in the step (5) is one of calcium lignosulfonate, ammonium lignosulfonate, sodium lignosulfonate and ferric lignosulfonate, and is used as a slime dispersant and a gangue inhibitor.
The modified oleic acid obtained in the step (5) is obtained by adding potassium permanganate into oleic acid, wherein the mass of the added potassium permanganate accounts for 1% of the total mass of the oleic acid and the potassium permanganate, heating the mixture to 80 ℃ in a water bath, and continuously stirring the mixture for 3 hours.
Sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide are added into the spodumene pulp for long-time stirring, so that a selective corrosion effect can be generated on the surface of a spodumene mineral, a small amount of silicon atoms on the surface of the spodumene mineral react with the sodium hydroxide to generate sodium silicate, the sodium silicate falls off from the surface of the mineral and enters a solution, more cation active particles which are beneficial to the action with a collecting agent are exposed on the surface of the mineral, and the flotability of the spodumene is improved. Oleic acid generates a small amount of peroxy compounds, carbonyl compounds and low molecular fatty acid under the action of potassium permanganate, and the existence of the peroxy compounds, the carbonyl compounds and the low molecular fatty acid improves the performance of the oleic acid, so that the oleic acid has better dispersibility in ore pulp and stronger collecting effect on spodumene.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages: the combined process of coarse-fine ore separation, gravity separation and flotation is adopted, different ore dressing methods are fully utilized to meet different requirements on the optimal granularity of the processed ore, the ore grinding cost is reduced, and a good spodumene grading effect is achieved.
