Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral separation, and particularly relates to a method for selecting niobium concentrate from polymetallic ores containing rare earth, niobium, zirconium and the like.
Background
The zantedg baren zarag ore (also called 801 ore) in inner Mongolia autonomous region in China is a multi-metal ore containing multiple useful elements such as rare earth, niobium, zirconium, beryllium and the like, the storage capacity of an ore deposit is large, the grade of the ore is high, and each element can basically reach or approach the industrial grade, so the value potential of the ore is huge. However, the types of useful elements in the ores are complex, and the useful minerals in the ores are contained in each other, so that the symbiotic relationship is close. The difficulty of obtaining the concentrate of a single element or a single mineral with higher purity through the conventional ore dressing separation is great, so that the ore is not developed and utilized for more than forty years.
Gangue minerals in the ore mainly comprise quartz, potash feldspar, albite and a small amount of natron amphibole, and the proportion of the gangue minerals is about 85 percent; the useful minerals in the ore mainly comprise zircon, Xingan stone, monazite, niobite, easy-decomposing stone, limonite, bastnasite, limonite, pyrochlore and the like.
The main useful elements in the ore are RE, Zr (Hf), Nb (Ta), Be, etc. Among useful minerals, the rare earth minerals mainly comprise Xingan stone, monazite, bastnasite, easy-decomposing stone and limonite, and a small amount of limonite and niobium ore; the niobium mineral is mainly niobite, and a small amount of niobium element is added into the easy-dissolving stone, pyrochlore and limonite niobium mineral; the zirconium mineral is mainly zircon, and a small amount of Y, La and Hf is also contained in the zircon; beryllium is mainly found in xingan stone.
Columbite-heterolite ((Fe, Mn) Nb)2O6) Is one of the most predominant niobium minerals in the ore. Fe-Mn and Nb-Ta in the niobite-niobite can be completely isomorphism substituted, and a small amount of Ce and Y are contained. Columbite is often embedded in the silicate mineral grains such as quartz, feldspar, etc., and in the gaps or wrapped in the silicate mineral grains. The niobite is closely associated with ilmenite, hematite and the like, and sometimes closely associated with easy-to-dissolve stones, pyrochlores and the like.
The 801 deposit is named as niobium ore, but the niobium ore dressing effect is poor, and the grade of niobium concentrate obtained in earlier research is very low. The main reason is that the niobium element exists in various complex states in the ore, namely, niobium existing in the mineral and niobium existing in other minerals in the similar form. The main niobium mineral is niobite, which is a radial, cluster, and needle-like aggregate in many crystal forms, and sometimes a plate-like or columnar aggregate, and such an existing form makes it difficult to achieve a high degree of dissociation of the niobium mineral even when the ore is finely ground in the ore grinding process. And the physical properties and floatability of other useful minerals and part of gangue minerals in the ore are close to those of niobium minerals, so that the ore dressing is difficult to obtain high-grade niobium concentrate.
In the existing data on the selection of niobium from 801 ore, although the so-called "niobium concentrate" can be selected, the grade of the niobium concentrate is very low. In 2015 years, a research unit adopts the processes of ore grinding, classification, reselection and magnetic separation to obtain Nb in the niobium concentrate2O5The highest grade is 3.25 percent, and the corresponding niobium recovery rate of the product is 8.8 percent; the research unit adopts the processes of ore grinding, grading, medium magnetic separation, strong magnetic separation and gravity separation to obtain Nb in the niobium concentrate in 2003 2O5The grade is 3.69% at most, and the recovery rate of niobium of the product is 46.2%.
Therefore, there is a need for an improved method for selecting niobium concentrate from polymetallic ores containing rare earths, niobium, zirconium, etc.
