Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for recovering copper in low-grade copper smelting slag, and belongs to the technical field of resource recovery.
Background
Copper is one of the most important nonferrous metals required by normal operation of national economy, is widely applied in the fields of electricity, construction, mechanical manufacturing, national defense industry and the like, and is a nonferrous metal material with the second largest consumption in China. More than 90% of enterprises in China adopt the pyrometallurgical copper smelting process to produce refined copper, the pyrometallurgical process generates about 2000 million tons of copper smelting slag every year, wherein the copper grade is generally higher than 0.5%, even higher than some raw copper ores mined and processed in China, the copper smelting slag is undoubtedly a pair of double-edged sword, the simple stockpiling treatment method not only brings potential safety hazards to local ecological environment and generates a large amount of waste, but also if the residual value can be effectively utilized, the copper smelting slag has great utilization potential. The research on how to recycle and how to better recycle the copper resources in the copper smelting slag has important practical significance for the current stage of China.
The method for recycling the copper smelting slag comprises a pyrogenic depletion method, a flotation method and wet leaching. Compared with other methods, the flotation method has the advantages of simple process, low cost and the like. The process flow of crushing, grinding and flotation by directly using copper slag as raw ore usually has unsatisfactory effect because the copper sulfur in the copper smelting slag is in a crystalline state, and is too fine and dispersed. Particularly, for low-grade copper smelting slag, the recovery is more difficult, and based on the current situation, a process method which is efficient, energy-saving and good in effect is urgently needed for recovering copper resources in the low-grade copper smelting slag.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art, and aims to provide a method for recovering copper in low-grade copper smelting slag.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the invention relates to a method for recovering copper in low-grade copper smelting slag, which comprises the following steps:
mixing copper slag particles and boron oxide to obtain a mixture, roasting the mixture in an air atmosphere, and then slowly cooling and re-solidifying to obtain a modified product; and crushing, ball-milling and flotation separation are carried out on the modified product to obtain copper concentrate.
In the preferred scheme, the grade of the copper smelting slag is less than or equal to 0.5 percent.
The low-grade copper smelting slag is very difficult to recover, and the grade of the copper smelting slag can be greatly improved by adopting the method disclosed by the invention, so that the recovery efficiency of the low-grade copper smelting slag is greatly improved.
The main minerals in the copper slag are magnetite and fayalite, and the magnetite and the fayalite are high-melting-point substances with melting points of 1594 ℃ and 1205 ℃ respectively. Too high melting point of the mixed copper slag results in too little molten liquid phase, higher viscosity, unfavorable crystallization and higher energy consumption.
The inventor unexpectedly finds that the boron oxide serving as an additive not only can reduce the melting temperature of the copper slag, but also can greatly improve the growth efficiency of copper particles. The liquid phase system formed after the boron oxide is melted can reduce the viscosity of the copper slag, so that the copper particles of the copper slag can have a better growth environment.
In the experimental process, the inventor also tried that a large amount of other oxides, even the same low-melting point oxides, can not achieve the effect of improving the recovery rate of the copper smelting slag and even can reduce the effect.
In the preferred scheme, the copper slag particles are obtained by crushing or ball-milling copper smelting slag and then sieving the crushed copper smelting slag by a 100-mesh sieve.
Preferably, the addition amount of the boron oxide is less than or equal to 15 percent.
In the present invention, the added amount of boron oxide means the mass fraction of boron oxide in the mixture.
More preferably, the addition amount of the boron oxide is 3 to 15%.
More preferably, the addition amount of the boron oxide is 9 to 12%.
The inventor finds that the recovery rate of copper in the copper smelting slag can be greatly improved by controlling the addition amount of boron oxide within the preferable range, and the excessive addition amount can increase the impurity amount, increase the content of amorphous glass in a melt and inhibit the precipitation and growth of crystals; the addition amount is too small, the viscosity and the fluidity of the melt during melting cannot be remarkably changed, and the recovery rate improving effect is limited.
In a preferable scheme, the roasting temperature is 1000-1300 ℃, the roasting temperature is preferably 1150 ℃, and the roasting time is 0.5-4 h.
In the preferable scheme, the slow cooling rate is 1-8 ℃/min, and preferably 1-3 ℃/min.
In the invention, the slow cooling speed needs to be effectively controlled, the copper mineral particles can be aggregated and grown only by adopting slow cooling, and if the cooling speed of the copper smelting slag is too high, high-melting-point substances in the slag are quickly separated out, the viscosity of the slag is quickly increased, so that the copper mineral particles cannot be aggregated and grown, and are complicated and continuous with other components.
In a preferred scheme, the modified product is crushed, sieved by a 100-mesh sieve and then ball-milled for 1-6 min.
In a preferable scheme, the collecting agent used for flotation separation is butyl xanthate, and the using amount of the collecting agent is 100 g/t-500 g/t.
Principles and advantages
According to the technical scheme, boron oxide is used as an additive in the slow cooling-recondensing process of the copper slag, the growth environment of copper-containing particles in the copper slag is improved by utilizing the properties of the boron oxide, such as melt viscosity, surface tension and melting point, so that the particle size of the copper particles is greatly increased, the flotation efficiency is improved, the direct heat preservation and slow cooling of the copper slag in an air atmosphere can be realized, fine copper particles are condensed and coagulated to grow coarse copper particles, and the efficient separation and recovery of copper minerals can be realized.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. according to the technical scheme, the copper particles in the copper slag are subjected to slow cooling-recondensation, so that fine copper particles grow into coarse particles, the copper minerals are recovered by flotation, and the flotation recovery rate and grade of the copper slag are obviously improved.
2. According to the technical scheme, the boron oxide is used as the additive, so that the melting temperature of the copper slag can be reduced, and the growth efficiency of copper particles can be greatly improved. The liquid phase system formed after the boron oxide is melted can reduce the viscosity of the copper slag, so that the copper particles of the copper slag can have a better growth environment.
3. The technical scheme of the invention can obviously improve the flotation effect of the copper slag and greatly improve the secondary resource utilization of the copper slag.

Drawings
FIG. 1 is a process flow diagram of the process of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an XRD comparison chart before and after modification of copper dross in example 1 and comparative example 2; compare the blank group with the other additive groups: compared with the blank group, the addition of zinc oxide and aluminum oxide can enhance the peak intensity of high-melting-point substances such as fayalite and magnetite, while boron oxide can weaken the main peak intensity and has more impurity peaks. The addition of the boron oxide can obviously change the crystal structure of the raw slag, reduce the melting point and viscosity of the molten copper slag, promote the aggregation of copper particles during temperature reduction to grow up, and reduce the aggregation of high-melting-point substances.
FIG. 3 is an XRD contrast before and after modification of copper dross in comparative example 1; compared with the blank group, after the boron oxide crystal is added, the intensity of the impurity peak in the copper slag is slightly enhanced, but the intensity of the diffraction peak of the main mineral is not obviously changed, which shows that the boron oxide has lower improvement effect on the high-grade copper slag.
