Description

The method that suppresses the unsulfided silicate gangue mineral
The background of invention
The present invention relates to from base metal (base metal) sulfide ore, reclaim the froth flotation method of valuable sulfide mineral.Relate in particular to a kind of method that in the process of using the valuable sulfide mineral of froth flotation method selected works, suppresses the unsulfided silicate gangue mineral.
Some theory and practice propose, and the reagent that is called collector is depended in the success of sulphide flotation method to a great extent, and this reagent makes the valuable mineral that must separate from other mineral have the selection hydrophobicity.
Valuable sulfide also depends on some other important reagent with the success that separates of other mineral, as modifier.Modifier comprises (but needn't fixed limit in) major function neither short collection neither foam, and all reagent that normally it can not be floated the surface modification of mineral.
Improve valuable sulfide mineral FLOTATION SEPARATION approach except attempt making the sulphide flotation collecting agent to the selectivity of valuable sulfide mineral stronger, also comprise use modifier, using more particularly, inhibitor suppresses the unsulfided gangue mineral, they can not floated with sulfide, thereby reduce the content of unsulfided gangue mineral in concentrate.Inhibitor is that a kind of acting on selectively on the specific unwanted mineral prevents or hinder the modifying agent that they float.
In the valuable mineral floating process of sulfide, the only problem of these unsulfided silicate gangue mineral is that they have natural buoyancy, and promptly they can not rely on the valuable mineral floating collecting agent of used sulfide and float.Even use the very strong valuable mineral floating collecting agent of sulfide of selectivity, these silicate minerals still can appear in the sulfide concentrate.Trouble is talcum and pyrophyllite (both all belong to magnesium silicate type) especially, because they have natural high hydrophobicity.As if other magnesium silicate mineral that belong to olivine, pyroxene and serpentine class have buoyancy in various degree, different with the mineral deposit.These unwanted mineral are present in the valuable mineral concentrate of sulfide, caused many problems: a) they have increased the amount of concentrate, therefore improved the cost of handling and transport concentrate, b) they fight for the space in flotation stage mutually at foam, therefore reduced the overall recovery of the valuable mineral of sulfide, c) they have diluted the content of the valuable sulfide mineral in the sulfide concentrate, this makes concentrate not too be suitable for (being unsuitable in some cases) melting, because unwanted mineral have hindered smelting operation.
The inhibitor that is generally used for sulphide flotation comprises as inorganic salts (NaCN, NaHS, SO 2, sodium pyrosulfite etc.) and the material of a small amount of organic compound (as sodium thioglycolate, mercaptoethanol etc.).Known these inhibitor can suppress sulfide mineral, but and do not know whether they are inhibitor of non-sulfide mineral, the collector of valuable sulfide is not the collector of good valuable mineral of unsulfided usually just as is known.It is very big that the body of sulfide mineral and unsulfided mineral and surface chemical property differ, and they also have greatest differences for the reaction of different chemical substances.At present, use some polysaccharides (as guar gum and carboxymethyl cellulose) during sulphide flotation, the unsulfided silicate gangue mineral to be suppressed.Yet their performance is very unstable, and their inhibition abilities on some ores are unacceptable, simultaneously the required effective dose very high usually (high to 1-10 lbs/ton) of ore per ton.Their inhibition ability also can be subjected to the influence in its source, and every batch all inconsistent.And these polysaccharides also are the useful sources of food, that is to say, they have been reduced their application on food as inhibitor, and their storage simultaneously exists special problem: they can become the food of insect.At last, they are not easy to miscible or are dissolved in water, even it is also unstable to form the aqueous solution.United States Patent (USP) 4,902,764 (Rothenberg etc.) have been described and have been used to reclaim valuable sulfide mineral being the synthetic copolymer of base and terpolymer with the polyacrylamide as the inhibitor of sulfide mineral.United States Patent (USP) 4,720,339 (Nagaraj etc.) have described and have been used for the valuable mineral of flotation unsulfided being the synthetic copolymer of base and terpolymer with the polyacrylamide as the inhibitor of siliceous gangue mineral, but are not the inhibitor as the valuable mineral selected works of sulfide process.' 339 patent is described to these polymer can suppress silica effectively during the phosphate flotation, aliphatic acid and unsulfided collector are also used in this phosphate flotation in flotation step.The patentee does not mention the effective inhibitors that these polymer are the unsulfided silicate gangue mineral during valuable sulfide mineral reclaims.In fact, in the process that valuable mineral are useful to sulfide, these inhibitor do not show the inhibition ability to the appropriateness of unsulfided silicate mineral.United States Patent (USP) 4,220,525 (Petrovich) have been put down in writing polyhydroxy amine and have been used to reclaim the valuable mineral of unsulfided as the inhibitor of gangue mineral (comprising silica, silicate, carbonate, sulfate and phosphate).The example of the polyhydroxy amine that is disclosed comprises tromethamine, aminopartitols, aminohexose alcohol, amino heptitols, aminooctitols, pentosamine, hexosamine, amino-tetrols etc.United States Patent (USP) 4,360,425 (Lim etc.) have been recorded and narrated a kind of modification method that improves the froth flotation method that reclaims the valuable mineral of unsulfided, have wherein applied the synthetic inhibitor of hydroxyl and carboxyl functional group.These inhibitor add second step or the amine flotation step of two step floatations, are used for suppressing during amine flotation siliceous gangue from the concentrate in second step valuable mineral of unsulfided such as phosphate mineral.This patent only relates to uses the synthetic profit that suppresses during the amine flotation.
In view of the above, especially United States Patent (USP) 4,902, described in 764 with specific be that the copolymer and the terpolymer of base is used for suppressing sulfide mineral with the polyacrylamide when reclaiming valuable sulfide mineral, we find that unexpectedly these polymer (use separately or be used in combination with polysaccharide) are the good inhibitor of unsulfided silicate gangue mineral (as talcum, pyroxene, olivine, serpentine, pyrophyllite, chlorite, biotite, amphibole etc.) really.Now find these synthetic polymer inhibitors with and with the mixture of polysaccharide be the good substitute of the polysaccharide that uses separately at present because they are easy to miscible or are dissolved in water, safety and their stabilized aqueous solution.Use them can increase the utilizability of the polysaccharide of originating as valuable human foods at this, their performance also is stable simultaneously.And these polymer can prepare according to bright book strictly speaking, therefore can guarantee every batch of consistency of product.Synthetic polymer helps more easily to change its structure, and thus, the special inhibitor that obtains being suitable for given occasion becomes possibility.

Embodiment 1-10
The ore that will contain about 3.3%Ni and 16.5%MgO (magnesium silicate form) ground in rod mill 5 minutes, obtained being of a size of 81%200 purpose liquid slurry.Then, levigate liquid slurry is transferred in the floation tank, the pH of nature value (~8-8.5) down regulate 2 minutes with 150 parts/ton copper sulphate, the sodium ethylxanthate of 50-100 part/ton is regulated 2 minutes, uses the inhibitor of requirement and the adjusting of pure frothing agent 2 minutes then.Then, (about 3.5-5l/min) carries out first step flotation by bubbling air, collects concentrate.In second step, the liquid slurry is regulated 2 minutes with 10 parts/ton sodium ethylxanthate, the inhibitor and the frothing agent of ormal weight, collects concentrate.Second step, used condition was also used in the 3rd step, collected concentrate.Filter all float products, drying is also measured.
In table 1, the result of the inhibition activity of two kinds of AMD/PVA graft copolymers and the result of guar gum and polyvinyl alcohol are contrasted.Under need not the situation of any inhibitor, the rate of recovery of Ni be 96.6%, and this is considered to very high and desirable; The rate of recovery of MgO is 61.4%, and this is also very high, but very undesirable.4.7% Ni grade of gained is only a little high a little than raw material.Use 420 and 500 parts/ton guar gum, the rate of recovery of MgO is in the scope of 28.3-33.5%, and this is more much lower than the rate of recovery that obtains without inhibitor, and the rate of recovery of Ni is about 93%, and is lower than the rate of recovery that obtains without inhibitor.The rate of recovery of Ni reduces and can estimate in the operation that the rate of recovery of all MgO reduces, because exist some constant mineralogy contacts between Ni mineral and magnesium silicate, when magnesium silicate was suppressed, some Ni mineral also can be suppressed.When using graft copolymer of the present invention, to compare with using guar gum, the rate of recovery of MgO greatly reduces, and the rate of recovery of Ni has reduction slightly when also using guar gum.But the grade of Ni is resulting more much higher than using guar gum in concentrate.These discoveries show that in employed all dosage ranges, graft copolymer all has very strong inhibition activity.These discoveries also show, can use the graft copolymer of less dosage, and in this case, the rate of recovery of Ni can improve, and keep the low MgO rate of recovery simultaneously.
The result also shows, when not using the monomer-grafted polyvinyl alcohol polymer of AMD, metallurgical performance is very poor, suppresses activity and do not have a selectivity.The rate of recovery of Ni greatly reduces (have only 82.9%, the rate of recovery of using graft copolymer under the same conditions is 88%).Therefore, graft copolymer is much more outstanding than polyvinyl alcohol itself.
