Description

Method for enriching metal sulfide ore by intensified froth flotation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mineral processing technology, in particular to a method for enriching metal sulfide ore by a reinforced foam flotation method.
Background
Froth flotation is a process of separation in a variety of different industries, and the most common way to recover the desired minerals from metal sulfide ores is by a procedure involving froth flotation, during which air is introduced into the slurry as microbubbles providing surfaces for attachment of relatively hydrophobic minerals. When the bubbles rise to the top of the container, a foam is formed. The froth may be arranged to overflow from a flotation vessel containing hydrophobic particles and hydrophilic particles. Those particles can be purified to a concentrate. Typically, in mineral froth flotation, hydrophobic particles are the desired product and attempts are made to recover the hydrophobic particles from the froth. Hydrophilic gangue particles are less adsorbed on the air bubbles and therefore tend to remain in the slurry. The gas flows through the slurry and through the selective adherence of the hydrophobic particles to the gas bubbles, while any hydrophilic particles retain the liquid flowing between the gas bubbles in the vessel to effect the separation. Foaming agents and pH modifiers are often used in practice to enhance separation. Collectors may also be introduced to help promote the attachment of minerals to the gas bubbles. In more complex flotation schemes, proper oxidation of the pulp is an important parameter in the flotation of complex metal sulphide ores. However, improper oxygen content can adversely affect separation and recovery. Therefore, the conditions under which the oxidation is carried out are very important to the ultimate success of the enrichment procedure. In addition, the pH of the slurry, the concentration of the various chemicals added to the flotation vessel, the concentration of solids, and the gas flow rate to the flotation vessel all affect the performance quality of the flotation process. However, the presence of such a large number of variables reduces the adaptability of the froth flotation process, and the amount or type of agent added is now also changed to counteract the change in the influencing parameters. However, these measures only lead to a limited maintenance of the foam product quality or separation efficiency.
