A kind of washup-floatation process of accumulative bauxite
Affiliated technical field
The present invention relates to the washup technology of bauxite, relate in particular to a kind of washup-floatation process of accumulative bauxite.
Background technology
Accumulative bauxite is the type that the distinctive a kind of bauxite of China becomes the ore deposit.Mainly be distributed in provinces such as Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou.The accurate definition of accumulative bauxite is: primary stratiform bauxite, the mineral deposit series of rocks, geologic agent such as be subjected to weathering for a long time, degrade, existing physics, also have the chemistry effect, mineral deposit roof and floor country rock runs off, bauxite weathering resistance power is piled up in the original place by force, mixes in earth but also become lumpiness and granule size not to wait by weathering, leaching.
The washup technological process that current accumulative bauxite adopts owing to be subjected to the misleading of " greater than 1mm is the ore deposit, is mud less than 1mm ", make a large amount of gibbsite, diaspore and boehmites less than 1mm be used as " mud " and dumps.Fig. 1 is the washup process chart of traditional accumulative bauxite, and the washup technological process that current accumulative bauxite shown in Figure 1 adopts mainly comprises the steps: at first will contain mud bauxite and feeds cylinder and sieve and wash in the machine water flushing; More than or equal to 50mm grade ore, wash concentrate after will washing then, less than 50mm grade ore, again by the launder washer washup by obtaining after the picking; The launder washer washup is with direct as washing concentrate more than or equal to 1mm grade ore, dumps as mud less than 1mm grade ore.Present washup flow process, general every production is washed concentrate for one ton, need to consume 2.5 tons and contains mud bauxite to 3 tons.Through measuring and calculating, every production is washed concentrate for 1 ton, almost will lose 1 ton of fine fraction aluminum ore.It is low to work as the ore-bearing rate that contains mud bauxite especially, and the aluminum ore of loss is just many more.Because launder washer is to be boundary with 1mm, thus be prone to the screen cloth accident of stopping up, in case it is very big to the ordinary production influence stifled sieve accident to occur.
Mention in " pile up the mineral deposit and replenish the geological prospecting final report " (1982,9) according to Guangxi 270 geologic prospecting partys: this mining area has table soil (to refer to ore-bearing rate<200kg/m
3Cover layer) exploration engineering to visit numeber of mines be 1714, account for 37% of total exploratory well number, the average thick 1.46m of table soil, according to the statistics of 202 exploratory wells, the average ore-bearing rate 134kg/m of table soil

Above-mentioned roof and floor ledge, because human factor, regulation is just calculated the ore deposit more than or equal to the above grade of 1mm, causes ore-bearing rate not reach the industrial index requirement, all will be used as ground and peel off and abandon.Add wherein containedly less than the fine-graded ore of 1mm, lose how many bauxite resources again? estimation because of this situation in the accumulative bauxite reserves of Guangxi, bauxite resource loss will be in several hundred million tons.If consider that less than aluminum ore contained in the 1mm mud, then the industrial index ore-bearing rate can drop to 100kg/m
3Below, at double the increase possibly of the resource reserve of Guangxi accumulative bauxite.
The current concentrate total surface of washing is to be attached with low-grade sludge, makes to wash concentrate alumina silica ratio A/S and reduce, and to wash granularity of concentrate more little but also exist, and the sludge of absorption is with regard to high more problem.
According to Chalco Guangxi branch company right>50mm and following grade grade of ore measurement result thereof see Table one:

Can find out that from table 〉=50mm grade ore A/S reaches 13.86 and 30-50mm grade ore, A/S is up to more than 15, and 10-30mm grade ore A/S drops to 6.58 rapidly; 10mm to 1mm grade ore A/S then drops to 3.89.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is: to having the sludge that the washup technological process dumps now, increase flotation operation, the sludge that will contain a large amount of gibbsites, diaspore and boehmite reclaims above-mentioned beneficial mineral by flotation, improves its resource utilization; Simultaneously add dispersant, sludge is well-dispersed in the wash water, improve the A/S that washes concentrate in the washup operation; Washup and flotation granularity are the boundary with 30mm, can make and wash concentrate, and A/S brings up to more than 13.86 from 7.75, have also solved the problem of stopping up screen cloth; Improved the head grade of going into flotation operation, also favourable to improving flotation concentrate A/S.
Be achieved in that a kind of accumulative bauxite washup-floatation process in order to solve the problems of the technologies described above the present invention, it comprises the following stage: will contain mud bauxite and feed cylinder and sieve and wash in the machine, the water flushing is the phase I;
To wash later more than or equal to 50mm grade ore and obtain qualified bauxite after by picking, coarse crushing, grinding and sieving, be second stage by the launder washer washup less than 50mm grade ore again;
To directly be incorporated into more than or equal to 1mm grade ore by the launder washer washup and to wash concentrate, less than 1mm grade sludge by floatation less than 1mm grade ore recuperation, the acquisition flotation concentrate is the phase III.
The above-mentioned phase I is: will contain mud bauxite and feed and when cylinder is sieved and washed in the machine dispersant is added cylinder and sieve and wash in the machine water flushing.
Above-mentioned dispersant can be sodium carbonate or NaOH.
With the above-mentioned phase III can also be: the launder washer washup will be more than or equal to 30mm grade ore as washing concentrate, by floatation the beneficial mineral flotation obtained flotation concentrate behind, the ore grinding classified, in small, broken bits less than 30mm grade ore.
The floatation of above-mentioned phase III comprises the following stage: a primary election operation, once purging selection operation, twice selected operation, floatation can adopt direct flotation, also can adopt reverse flotation.
Above-mentioned less than 30mm grade ore classified after, will go in small, broken bits, in small, broken bits more than or equal to 15mm grade ore less than integrating with ore grinding less than 15mm grade ore after 15mm grade ore and the classification.
Advantage of the present invention and effect are as follows:
1, the present invention can reclaim bauxite resource fully rationally, to greatest extent.Diaspore in the accumulative bauxite, gibbsite, boehmite and earth are mainly based on mixed in together.Only reclaim by 70% and calculate, only accumulative bauxite resource reserve in Guangxi also can increase more than 400,000,000 tons, because can be with less than the ore recuperation in the 1mm fine fraction by flotation.Be this industrial index to accumulative bauxite, should with contain mud bauxite less than in the 1mm fine fraction sludge, beneficial mineral content considers that comprehensively the border ore-bearing rate can drop to 100kg/m at least like this
3Below, thereby Guangxi accumulative bauxite resource reserve will be multiplied not needing to drop into a large amount of exploration engineerings.
2, can reduce the mine tailing amount of dumping, dump expense thereby can account for less to plough and reduce mine tailing.
3, add dispersant in the washup operation, can improve and wash concentrate A/S, indexs such as the production capacity that improves alumina producer and alkaline consumption are all had tangible economic benefit.
4, because the employing flotation can be reclaimed bauxite more, thereby can reduce stope ore extraction amount, the freight volume that contains the mud ore simultaneously also reduces widely, and the cost of concentrate will descend significantly.
5, because the flotation concentrate granularity is thinner, alumina producer ore grinding expense also can be saved many.
6, according to the ensaying of geologic prospecting party to certain 6 mine tailing sample in mining area, its main component is a gibbsite, also is that gibbsite is in the majority in the flotation concentrate certainly, and this also is very favorable to alumina producing.
But 7 using water wisely, single washup flow process, mine tailing can not directly utilize through the overflow of thickener and the water in the filter press filtrate.Adopt technology of the present invention, overflow of concentrate thickener and concentrate filter press filtrate, can be directly after pressurization as the flushing water of washup flow process.
8, because flotation is to utilize the mine tailing that dumps, has saved a series of expenses such as raw ore exploitation, transportation, fragmentation, thereby made concentrate with low cost, tentatively conservative estimations, concentrate per ton is below 40 yuan, only is existing 1/3 of the concentrate of washing; It only is Central Region branch company diaspore-below 1/4 of kaolinite type ore concentration of bauxite cost.
9, process of the present invention is not only applicable to the washup of accumulative bauxite, also is applicable to the washup of three water-type bauxites.
