Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mineral flotation, in particular to a combined collecting agent and a flotation method of sulfide minerals containing micro-fine particles.
Background
Flotation is a common means of recovering sulphide minerals in mineral resources or other secondary resources. With the continuous development of mining industry, high-quality mineral resources are less and less, and the ore gradually shows the characteristics of poverty, fineness and impurities. The micro-fine particle minerals are difficult to dissociate from the ore minerals, and the dissociated minerals have the characteristics of small mass, large specific surface area and high surface energy, and are very easy to lose in flotation tailings, thereby causing resource waste. In addition to fine-grained embedded sulfide ore resources in nature, fine-grained embedded sulfide minerals also exist in various non-ferrous metal pyrometallurgy slags. But it is also more difficult to obtain a higher flotation recovery due to its finer particle size. Therefore, the method has important research significance for improving the flotation recovery rate of the sulfide minerals embedded in the micro-fine particles.
At present, the prior art mainly aims at improving the flotation effect of fine-grained minerals from two aspects of process and equipment. In terms of process, methods such as carrier flotation, flocculation flotation, micro-bubble flotation and the like are mostly adopted, but the engineering applicability of the methods is relatively poor. The equipment includes a flotation column, a modified flotation machine and the like, such as a fine mineral flotation device disclosed in patent No. ZL201821717959.7 and a flotation machine for efficiently recovering fine minerals disclosed in patent application No. 201010192809.0.
In addition, in the method aspect, the 201010186001.1 patent application discloses a method for improving the flotation efficiency of fine mineral, which is to add a proper flotation agent and oil in sequence to the pulp with a given concentration, and emulsify the pulp by an emulsifier, so as to enrich the target mineral at the water/oil interface and improve the recovery rate and grade of the mineral. The key point of the patent is that oil with the volume of 5-40% of the volume of the ore pulp is added into the ore pulp, the mixture is emulsified for 10-120min, the emulsified ore pulp is stood to realize the separation of water and oil phases, and a mineral thin layer is obtained on a water/oil interface. The method is an optimized improvement of the whole oil flotation, and has a great difference with the currently commonly used froth flotation, so that the method has certain difficulty in wide application.

Generally, the more fine-grained minerals in ore pulp are, the more difficult the flotation is, in order to recover the sulfide minerals in the fine-grained minerals as much as possible, the first flotation tailings are ground with the help of a grinding aid, and the use of the grinding aid promotes the dissociation of the fine-grained minerals; and then, a combined collecting agent is added in the flotation process of the second stage of the tailing pulp to strengthen the recovery of fine-grained minerals, so that the recovery rate of fine-grained sulfide minerals is improved. Therefore, the flotation method is the conventional operation in the flotation, the used medicaments are also the conventional medicaments which are mixed and used according to the proportion, and the engineering applicability is better.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
