Description

Novel collector for flotation of low-grade spodumene ores and spodumene ore dressing method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of spodumene ore dressing, in particular to low-grade spodumene ore (the low-grade spodumene ore refers to Li)2Spodumene ore with O content not more than 1.5%) flotation.
Background
Lithium and lithium compounds have unique and excellent physical properties and chemical properties, and are widely applied to the fields of high-energy batteries, synthetic rubbers, alloys, air conditioners, medicines, welding and the like, so that the lithium and lithium compounds become new strategic resources gradually. The sorting and recovery of spodumene, particularly low grade spodumene, is becoming increasingly desirable as an important mineral feedstock for the extraction of lithium.
For lithium-containing ores, the great difference of ore properties and the difference of lithium content are caused by the diversity of lithium-containing minerals, and simultaneously, the complex reaction and the product diversity of the lithium-containing ores in the forming process become important reasons of the complex sorting process of the lithium ores. With the continuous increase of the demand of lithium resources, the treatment of low-grade spodumene ore becomes an urgent problem to be solved. Low grade spodumene (also known as spodumene) is often a product of spodumene alteration, Li2The content of O is low, the argillization is easy, the traditional collecting agent has the disadvantages of insufficient collecting capability and poor selectivity, and the factors cause the difficulty in enrichment and recoveryThe lithium element is more unfavorable in the sorting and recovery condition.
In order to solve the above problems, the development of an efficient and stable collector becomes a key for spodumene recovery. The traditional spodumene ore flotation collecting agent is divided into an anion collecting agent and a cation collecting agent, wherein the anion collecting agent is mainly fatty acid, soap thereof and the like, and the cation collecting agent is mainly amines with different molecular weights and the like. The selectivity of the anion collecting agent is poor, the recovery rate of the concentrate is insufficient when the consumption is low, the grade of the concentrate is low when the consumption is high, and the anion collecting agent also has the problems of poor low temperature resistance, crisp foam and the like. The cation collector has the defects of too strong foamability, poor selectivity and the like, and easily causes the problems of difficult control of production, unstable indexes and the like. Therefore, the development of a novel collector for flotation of low-grade spodumene ores, which is low-temperature resistant, easy to disperse and good in selectivity, is particularly important.
Some spodumene ore sample, the raw ore containing Li2O0.97%, wherein the spodumene mineral contains Li2O5.68%, far lower than the theoretical Li of spodumene mineral2The O content is 8.03 percent, and the method belongs to low-grade spodumene ore. The low-grade spodumene ore is sorted and recovered by adopting a spodumene ore dressing method in the prior art, and the specific procedures are as follows: adding 800g/t of sodium hydroxide and 400g/t of sodium carbonate into a mill, grinding the low-grade spodumene ore until mineral monomers are dissociated, adding 1000g/t of sodium carbonate, adjusting the pH value of ore pulp to 10.5, stirring for 20-30 min, then adding 200g/t of calcium chloride as an activating agent, adding 800g/t of modified oleic acid as a collecting agent for roughing, adding 200g/t of modified oleic acid for scavenging, adding 500g/t of sodium carbonate for first-time roughing, 200g/t of modified oleic acid, adding 300g/t of sodium carbonate for second-time roughing, 100g/t of modified oleic acid, adding 200g/t of sodium carbonate for third-time roughing and 50g/t of modified oleic acid; after the conditions of one-time rough concentration, three-time fine concentration and one-time scavenging are carried out and middlings are returned in sequence by adopting the above reagents, Li is obtained2① from the foaming phenomenon, because the low-grade spodumene is argillized seriously, easily causes the problems of foam vacuity, poor fluidity and the like, further leads useful minerals to be easy to fall off and not easy to be enrichedThe modified oleic acid ② belongs to a collector with strong collecting property, the selectivity is poor, the problem of foam vacuity is solved, the foam layer is vacuous and thick, more gangue minerals can be carried into the concentrate, and the spodumene concentrate grade is reduced.
