Description

Combined inhibitor for flotation separation of complex refractory copper-lead sulfide ore and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mineral separation, in particular to a combined inhibitor for flotation separation of complex refractory copper-lead sulfide ores and application thereof.
Background
Copper and lead are important non-ferrous metal mineral resources, are widely applied to various industries and are essential metal elements for economic development of China. The separation of copper-lead polymetallic sulphide ores is always one of the important subjects of the mineral separation world, and because the ores are generally compact and intergrowth and have fine embedded granularity, and galena and chalcopyrite have extremely similar floatability, the separation of the copper-lead polymetallic sulphide ores is difficult. In addition, along with the continuous development and utilization of the existing mineral resources, the rich ores which can be directly used in China are less and less, and the existing mineral resources also face the current situations of poverty, fineness and impurity. Therefore, the research on the high-efficiency separation of the copper-lead sulfide ore is of great significance.
In nature, the main source of lead is galena, often coexisting with sulphide minerals such as chalcopyrite, sphalerite and the like. In the separation of galena and other sulphide minerals, inhibitors of galena are mainly divided into two categories: inorganic inhibitors and organic inhibitors. The inorganic inhibitor is mainly dichromate, sulfite and the like, such as potassium dichromate, can effectively inhibit galena, but has certain harm to the environment; the organic inhibitor is mainly macromolecular medicaments such as carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium humate and the like, but the macromolecular medicaments are easily embedded in the copper-lead ore with extremely fine granularity, so that the inhibition effect on the square-lead ore is not obvious. In the prior art, the above problems are solved by using a combination inhibitor. However, the combined inhibitors of the prior art are generally environmentally hazardous and have limited inhibitory effect on the ore.
In the prior art, the invention patent application with publication number CN 104772218A discloses a flotation separation process of copper-lead bulk concentrates, which is to add lime and sodium sulfide into copper-lead bulk concentrates separated from raw ores, stir for 2-4 min, dehydrate and remove drugs through a thickener, add a combined inhibitor and a collecting agent, roughen to obtain copper rough ores and lead rough ores, and finely select the copper rough ores to obtain copper concentrates; scavenging lead rough ores to obtain lead concentrate; the combined inhibitor is a combination of sulfuric acid, sodium sulfite and humic acid.

In view of the above, there is a need for an improved non-toxic environment-friendly combined inhibitor with good inhibition effect for flotation separation of complex refractory copper-lead sulfide ores, so as to solve the above problems.

TABLE 4 addition mass ratio of sodium perborate solution, quaternary ammonium starch ether solution and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose solution in examples 1-7 and copper recovery rate under the same conditions
Figure BDA0003372388520000081
From the test results in table 4, it can be seen that, when the sodium perborate, the quaternary ammonium starch ether and the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose are added in the mass ratio of (1-2): (1.5-3): (2-4), the combined inhibitor formed by combining the three components has the best inhibiting effect on galena in the copper-lead sulfide ores, and the best copper-lead separation effect.
The technical personnel in the field should understand that the mass percent of the sodium perborate solution related to the invention can also be 6%, 7% or 10%, the mass percent of the quaternary ammonium starch ether solution can also be 0.6%, 0.7% or 1%, and the mass percent of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose solution can also be 0.6%, 0.7% or 1%, which is not limited herein, and only needs to be added in a proper amount according to the actual needs.
The technical principle of the present invention is explained as follows:
according to the invention, the copper-lead sulfide ore is floated by adopting a flotation step of firstly performing mixed flotation and then separating, and the water glass, the collecting agent ethyl thiourethane and the pine oil are added in the mixed flotation process to separate target minerals from non-target minerals to the maximum extent, so that the treatment capacity of subsequent operation is reduced, and the copper-lead bulk concentrate is obtained. And then, carrying out flotation separation on the copper-lead bulk concentrate by using the combined inhibitor provided by the invention. In the flotation separation, the adding proportion of a sodium perborate solution, a quaternary ammonium starch ether solution and a hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose solution is (1-2): (1.5-3): (2-4), the mixed solution of the three acts on the surface of the ore together to inhibit the deleading ore, so that the flotation of the copper-lead sulfide ore is realized. As the quaternary ammonium starch ether and the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose are used as the inhibitor of the galena, in a flotation environment, the surface of the galena is slightly oxidized by dissolved oxygen or hydrogen peroxide in ore pulp, a small amount of oxidation sites are generated on the surface of ore particles, and the inhibitor is adsorbed on the oxidation sites, but the adsorption amount of the inhibitor is very small, the adsorption of a collecting agent on the surface of the galena cannot be prevented, and the inhibiting effect of the inhibitor on the galena is not obvious. The sodium perborate in the combined inhibitor is used as an oxidation auxiliary agent, when the sodium perborate exists, the oxidation sites on the surface of ore particles can be increased, so that the inhibitor is adsorbed on more oxidation sites, and meanwhile, a hydrophilic film is formed on the surface of the ore by long chains of the inhibitor, so that the collecting agent is prevented from being adsorbed on the surface of galena. The experimental result shows that when the sodium perborate, the quaternary ammonium starch ether and the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose are added according to the proportion, the effective inhibition on galena can be realized, the lead in the copper-lead sulfide ore can be selected favorably, and the floating of copper is not influenced. When the content of the sodium perborate in the combined inhibitor is too low, the oxidation sites on the surface of the galena are too few, the quaternary ammonium starch ether and the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose adsorbed on the surface of the galena are limited, and the inhibiting effect on the galena is not obvious. When the content of the sodium perborate in the combined inhibitor is too high, the oxidation sites on the surface of the galena are too many, the quaternary ammonium starch ether and the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose adsorbed on the surface of the galena are too excessive, and the floatability of the mineral is too low, so that the flotation work is not facilitated; meanwhile, excessive sodium perborate influences the pH value of ore pulp, and further influences the flotation environment; in addition, the inhibition effect of the sodium perborate on galena is not obvious, which is not beneficial to the separation of copper and lead and can affect the recovery rate and grade of copper.
In conclusion, the combined inhibitor for flotation separation of complex refractory copper-lead sulfide ore, which comprises sodium perborate, quaternary ammonium starch ether and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, provided by the invention has the advantages that the inorganic inhibitor and the organic inhibitor are combined and are used for ore flotation according to a certain addition proportion, so that the synergistic effect among the agents is fully exerted, the effective inhibition on the galena is enhanced, the mutual content of copper and lead is reduced, and the copper-lead separation effect is good; by adding the sodium perborate solution, the oxidation sites on the surface of the galena are improved, so that more macromolecular organic compounds, namely quaternary ammonium starch ether and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, are adsorbed to the surface of the galena, and the inhibition effect on the galena is enhanced; the flotation step of mixing flotation and then flotation separation is adopted, so that non-target minerals can be removed to the maximum extent in the mixing flotation process, the workload of the subsequent flotation process is reduced, and the working efficiency of ore flotation is improved; compared with a single galena inhibitor and a traditional inhibitor dichromate, the inhibitor has the advantages of low medicament consumption, strong inhibiting capability, no toxicity and environmental protection.
Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
