Description

Copper-sulfur separation inhibitor, lime-free copper-sulfur flotation separation method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral processing, and particularly relates to a copper-sulfur separation inhibitor, a lime-free copper-sulfur flotation separation method and application.
Background
Copper is an important strategic resource in China, and is widely applied to the fields of electricity, light industry, mechanical manufacturing, building industry, national defense industry and the like due to the advantages of good ductility, high thermal conductivity, high electrical conductivity and the like. Copper is present in the earth's crust in an amount of about 0.01%, mostly as compounds, i.e., copper ore. Copper ores can be divided into three categories: (1) sulphide ores, e.g. chalcopyrite (CuFeS)2) Bornite (Cu)5FeS4) And chalcocite (Cu)2S), and the like; (2) the oxidation of the ore is carried out,such as cuprite (Cu)2O), malachite [ Cu ]2(OH)2CO3]Blue copper ore [2CuCO ]3·Cu(OH)2]Sildendum (CuSiO)3·2H2O), etc.; (3) native copper. The amount of copper detected in the world is about 3.5-5.7 million tons, and the porphyry copper ore accounts for about 76% of the total amount, and most of the porphyry copper ore contains a certain amount of sulfur. Because of the similar floatability of copper and sulfur, a large amount of sulfur suppressor is added in the copper flotation in order to obtain an acceptable copper concentrate.
At present, lime is mostly adopted as a sulfur inhibitor in copper-sulfur beneficiation in industrial production. However, the use of lime has great disadvantages, firstly, lime needs to be prepared into lime milk for use, the workload is large, and potential safety hazards exist due to strong alkalinity; secondly, in the using process, scale is easy to form, pipelines are easy to block, and the fluctuation of the addition amount is large, so that the fluctuation of industrial production indexes is large; thirdly, after a large amount of lime is added, flotation foam is sticky, pipeline transportation is difficult, and concentrate filtration is difficult; fourthly, the alkalinity of the tailings is high after lime is used, the pH value is even more than 10, the tailings cannot be discharged outside, and the environmental protection pressure is huge; fifthly, the lime is mined and fired, which causes great pollution to the environment and serious damage to water and soil, and as the national environmental protection policy is tightened, the lime is difficult to mine and fire, and the method of adding a large amount of lime to select copper and sulfur ores is difficult to continue. Although a copper-sulfur ore beneficiation method using strong oxidants such as calcium hypochlorite and potassium permanganate to replace lime is also reported, the method has the defects of easy invalidation of reagents, large potential safety hazards of storage and operation, large fluctuation of production indexes and incapability of large-scale industrial application.
