In the flotation process, if the fluctuation in the content of the substance to be recovered in the processing target is not large, set the optimal operating condition at the beginning of the operation, and then collect it without changing the operating condition. It is always possible to obtain a float with high content of the target substance.
However, when the dust obtained by using waste as part of the raw material is treated as a processing target, such as cement kiln bleed dust, the type of waste changes, and the recovery target in the processing target The content of a substance (for example, lead) may vary greatly.
In this case, in order to use the float (for example, lead-containing material) collected by the flotation process as a non-ferrous refining raw material or the like, it is desirable that impurities (for example, calcium) contained in the float are small.
However, if priority is given to the quality of the collected floating ore as a lead-containing material and the operating conditions of the floatation machine are set so that only a part of the floated material is always recovered, The recovery rate is low. In addition, the amount of the substance to be recovered (for example, lead) contained in the deposit (for example, calcium-containing material) recovered by the flotation process is increased, and it is difficult to use the deposit as, for example, a cement raw material. Become.

Thus, when the content rate of the recovery target material (for example, lead) in the processing target fluctuates, the recovered floatation has a high content rate and a high recovery rate of the recovery target material (for example, lead). It is difficult for the ore that is always present and recovered to contain substantially no or very low content of the material to be recovered (eg lead).
In the present invention, even if the content of the recovery target substance (for example, lead) in the processing target (for example, chlorine bypass dust) fluctuates, the recovered float is always high in the recovery target substance. Flotation treatment method and flotation treatment that have a high content rate and a high recovery rate, and the recovered sedimentation always contains substantially no recovery target substance or a very low content. The purpose is to provide a system.

As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor used a plurality of flotation treatment tanks arranged in series, and in each of the plurality of flotation treatment tanks, floated materials including floating ore.

It is sectional drawing which shows an example of the flotation machine used with the flotation processing method of this invention. It is a figure which shows notionally an example of the flotation processing system of this invention.

The flotation processing method of the present invention is a method for recovering a specific recovery target substance from a processing target as a flotation, using a plurality of flotation processing tanks arranged in series, and the plurality of flotation processing In each of the treatment tanks, the recovery amount and / or thickness of the levitated material including the float is adjusted.
Examples of the processing object of the present invention include cement kiln extraction dust, incineration ash, incineration fly ash, molten fly ash and the like.
Cement kiln extraction dust refers to fine powder obtained by cooling high-temperature exhaust gas extracted from a portion of the exhaust gas from the cement kiln. This fine powder is obtained, for example, by collecting the coarse powder in the extracted hot exhaust gas with a cyclone, cooling the exhaust gas not containing the coarse powder after passing through the cyclone, and collecting the cooled exhaust gas with a dust collector such as a bag filter. Obtained by collecting. This fine powder contains calcium, potassium, lead, chlorine and the like. Among these, if lead is separated and recovered, it can be used as a non-ferrous refining raw material. Further, if calcium is separated and recovered, it can be used as a cement raw material or the like. In the present invention, since the flotation processing technology is used, lead can be recovered as a float and calcium can be recovered as a deposit.
The form of the object to be treated before slurrying is usually dust (powder).
Examples of the substance to be collected of the present invention include heavy metals such as lead, copper, and zinc, gypsum, and carbon.

In this specification, the “floating ore” means particles including a specific substance to be collected that floats on the surface of the foam by flotation.
“Float” means an aggregate of bubbles that floats by flotation. The “floating material” is a layered body formed above the slurry in the liquid tank of the flotation machine. “Floating matter” includes liquids forming bubbles and floating ore.
“The thickness of the float” means the vertical thickness of the float (aggregate of bubbles) formed above the slurry in the liquid tank of the floatation machine.
“Precipitation” means solid particles other than “floating ore”.
“Sedimentation residue” means an aggregate of sedimentation.
"Flotation" means a process that separates particles in a slurry into floatation and sedimentation using a flotation machine, and includes pretreatment such as hydrophobization before introducing the slurry into the flotation machine Absent.
“Flotation treatment” includes flotation and pretreatment such as hydrophobization before the slurry is introduced into the flotation machine.

In the present invention, a plurality of floatation processing tanks arranged in series are used.
The number of flotation processing tanks is preferably 2 to 5, more preferably 3. When the number is 1, not only the recovery rate of the recovery target material (for example, lead) in the recovered floatation is lowered, but also the content rate of the recovery target material (for example, lead) in the recovered sedimentation is increased. When the number is 6 or more, improvement of effects such as an increase in the recovery rate of lead by using a plurality of flotation treatment tanks has peaked, while a large area is required to install the treatment system of the present invention. Moreover, it is economically disadvantageous in that the cost of the flotation treatment tank increases.
The plurality of floatation processing tanks arranged in series may be hereinafter referred to as a first tank, a second tank, a third tank, ... from the upstream side to the downstream side.
Note that “arranged in series” means that the slurry containing the processing object is floated in the first tank and then guided to the second tank and floated in the second tank. Flotation beneficiation can be repeated sequentially from the first tank located on the most upstream side toward the other downstream flotation treatment tanks, such as being led to three tanks and being subjected to flotation in the third tank. This means that a plurality of flotation processing tanks are arranged.

Next, the adjustment method of the collection amount and / or thickness of the levitated matter including the floating ore will be described.
Specifically, as the adjustment method, (a) a method of adjusting the collection amount of the levitated material according to a change in the content of the collection target substance in the processing target, and (b) recovery in the processing target. There is a method of adjusting the thickness of the levitated object according to the change in the content of the target substance. Only one or both of the methods (a) and (b) may be performed.
First, the method (a) will be described.
When the content of the substance to be recovered in the treatment object increases or decreases, the amount of flotation produced by flotation also increases or decreases. For example, when the content rate of the collection target substance in the processing target increases, the thickness of the floating substance in the liquid tank of the floatation separator increases, and the amount of the recovery target substance contained in the floating substance also increases. In this case, if the collection amount of the levitated material is made constant, the recovery rate of the recovery target substance (recovery ratio from the recovery target substance contained in the processing target object) decreases. Therefore, the amount of floating material collected is adjusted in accordance with the change in the content of the material to be collected in the object to be treated.
In the present specification, the “amount of collected levitated matter” means the amount collected per unit time when the flotation machine is continuously operated.
In addition, when the flotation machine is continuously operated, the supply speed of the processing object (the supply amount per unit time) is usually constant. Therefore, in the present specification, the present invention will be described on the assumption that the supply speed of the processing object is constant.

An example of a specific method for adjusting the amount of collected floating material will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, a flotation machine 1 is a flotation machine (first tank; reference numeral 25 in FIG. 2) located on the most upstream side among a plurality of flotation machines used in the present invention. Scraping means having a liquid tank 2 for containing, a stirring blade 5 for stirring the slurry 4 in the liquid tank 2, a diffuser board 11, and a scraping blade 8 for scraping the levitated material 3; A supply pipe 6 for supplying slurry and air to the liquid tank 2 and a liquid level adjusting means 7 for adjusting the height of the liquid level 4a of the slurry 4 are provided. In addition to the supply pipe 6, an air supply pipe (not shown) for supplying air to the slurry 4 may be further provided.
As an example of the liquid level adjusting means 7, as shown in FIG. 1, an opening 9 is formed in the side wall of the liquid tank 2, and a plate body (overflow) movable on the outer surface of the side wall of the liquid tank 2 in the vertical direction. What is made to form the drain outlet which uses the upper end of this board 10 as a lower end by attaching this dam 10) and moving this board 10 to a perpendicular direction is mentioned. The slurry discharged from the drainage port is guided to the next flotation machine (second tank; see reference numeral 26 in FIG. 2) on the downstream side.
The flotation machine shown in FIG. 1 is a Farenwald type flotation machine.

In the flotation machine shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the processing target is switched from one having a high content of the collection target substance to one having a low content.
In this case, since the amount of the levitated material 3 containing the recovery target substance is reduced, in order to reduce the recovery amount of the recovery target substance by the amount of reduction of the content rate of the recovery target substance, the liquid level adjustment means 7 The liquid level 4a of the slurry 4 may be lowered or the rotational speed of the scraping blade 8 may be reduced. Note that the lowering of the liquid level 4a of the slurry 4 and the reduction of the rotational speed of the scraping blade 8 may be performed simultaneously.
On the contrary, when the processing target is switched from a low content of the recovery target substance to a high content of the recovery target substance, the amount of levitated material 3 containing the recovery target substance increases. In order to increase the recovery amount of the recovery object, the liquid level adjusting means 7 raises the liquid level 4a of the slurry 4 or increases the rotational speed of the scraping blade 8 by the amount of increase in the content rate. Just do it. In addition, you may perform simultaneously the raise of the liquid level 4a of the slurry 4, and the increase in the rotational speed of the scraping blade 8. FIG.
When adjusting the liquid level 4 a of the slurry 4 by the liquid level adjusting means 7, a collecting means other than the scraping means having the scraping blades 8 can be used as the floating material collecting means.

The change in the content rate of the substance to be collected can be grasped by, for example, the amount of chemical (for example, a sulfurizing agent) used in the pretreatment for flotation. For example, when the object to be treated is cement kiln bleed dust, the substance to be recovered is lead, and lead is recovered as a float made of lead sulfide, depending on the amount of a sulfurizing agent such as sodium hydrosulfide used, Changes in lead content in cement kiln extraction dust can be grasped. In this case, the amount of sulfiding agent used can be controlled by measuring the oxidation-reduction potential of the slurry.
The optimum relationship between the content rate of the substance to be collected and the amount of collected levitated material can be determined in advance by performing a test operation. In this case, using a predetermined optimum relationship (for example, a relationship curve with the content rate of the collection target substance on the horizontal axis and the collection amount of levitated matter on the vertical axis), the content of the collection target substance in actual operation is included. What is necessary is just to adjust the collection amount of levitated matter based on the change of a rate.

Next, the method (b) will be described.
For example, when switching from a low recovery target substance content to a high recovery target substance, the processing target substance is switched from a high recovery target substance content to a low content ratio. In this case, the thickness of the levitated object 3 increases or decreases. In this case, unless the operating conditions of the flotation machine 1 are changed, scraping of the levitated material 3 is not performed properly, and a target substance with a desired quality cannot be obtained at a desired recovery rate. In order to adjust the thickness of the levitated material 3 appropriately, the liquid level adjusting means 7 may raise or lower the liquid level 4a of the slurry 4, or the rotational speed of the scraping blade 8 may be increased or decreased. Note that the upper and lower sides of the liquid surface 4 a of the slurry 4 and the rotation speed of the scraping blade 8 may be increased or decreased simultaneously.
The thickness of the levitated object 3 is the distance between the upper surface of the levitated object 3 and the liquid level 4a of the slurry 4 (the height of the upper end of the plate 10). The height of the upper surface of the levitated object 3 can be measured using an ultrasonic level meter, a microwave radar type level meter, or the like.
Similar to the method (a) described above, the optimum size of the levitated material 3 can be ascertained, for example, by the amount of chemical (for example, a sulfurizing agent) used in the pretreatment of the flotation.

As a means for measuring the amount of collected levitated material, for example, a flow meter provided in a flow path for circulating the collected levitated material, or for measuring the mass per unit time of the collected levitated material The mass measuring means or the like can be used. Also, the recovered amount of the collected levitated object can be roughly grasped by the thickness of the levitated object 3.
Using these measuring means, while confirming the recovered amount and / or thickness of the recovered levitated material, the operating conditions (for example, the flotation machine) (for example, so that the recovered amount and / or thickness becomes a desired value) The height of the liquid surface 4a of the slurry 4 and the rotational speed of the scraping blade 8 may be appropriately changed.
In the present invention, by adjusting the recovery amount and / or thickness of the levitated matter, it is possible to draw a portion containing a large amount of floating ore and a portion containing a large amount of sedimentation at an optimum boundary.

About the floatation machine (the 2nd tank, the 3rd tank; reference numerals 26 and 27 in FIG. 2) on the downstream side of the floatation machine located in the most upstream side (first tank; see reference numeral 25 in FIG. 2) In addition, the amount and / or thickness of the levitated material including the float can be adjusted by using the one having the same structure as the first tank shown in FIG.
For example, in an intermediate floating beneficiary machine (see reference numeral 26 in FIG. 2) located between a flotation beneficiator located on the most upstream side and a flotation bead located on the most downstream side, the flotation located on the most upstream side. While setting the amount of levitated material to be collected smaller than the beneficiator (first tank), the amount of levitated material is increased or decreased in accordance with the increase or decrease in the content of the substance to be collected (for example, lead) in the processing object Just do it.
In this intermediate floatation machine, a hydrophobizing agent may be additionally added as necessary. In the intermediate flotation machine, it is preferable to prioritize the removal over the quality of the substance to be collected.
In the flotation beneficiary machine located at the most downstream side (see reference numeral 27 in FIG. 2), the flotation beneficiation is performed so that the content of the substance to be collected (for example, lead) in the collected ore is less than a desired value. Increase or decrease the content of the recovery target substance (for example, lead) in the processing target while setting the recovery amount of the levitated substance larger than that of the flotation machine other than the machine (see symbols 25 and 26 in FIG. 2) In addition, the amount of levitated material collected may be increased or decreased.

An example of the method of the flotation process in the case where cement kiln bleed dust is used as the processing target and lead is selected as the recovery target substance will be described.
An example of a flotation treatment method is (A) a step of preparing a slurry by mixing cement kiln extraction dust and water, and (B) adding a sulfurizing agent such as sodium hydrosulfide to the slurry obtained in step (A). Then, a step of obtaining a slurry containing lead sulfide, which is a solid component, and (C) adding sulfuric acid to the slurry obtained in step (B), adjusting the pH to 2-7, calcium sulfate and lead sulfide Obtained in step (D), (D) a step of hydrophobizing lead sulfide by adding a hydrophobizing agent such as xanthate to the slurry obtained in step (C), and (E) step (D). The obtained slurry is guided to a plurality of flotation beneficiators arranged in series, and the flotation process is sequentially performed in these flotation beneficiaries, and (F) a flotation beneficiary other than the most upstream flotation beneficiator. The levitated material collected at the upstream side of the most upstream flotation machine A step of returning to a point (for example, a slurry preparation tank; see reference numeral 21 in FIG. 2), and (G) a lead-containing material that can use levitated material containing floating ore as a nonferrous refining raw material in the most upstream flotation machine And collecting the ore deposit as a calcium-containing material that can be used as a cement raw material in the most downstream flotation beneficiator. Various conditions such as the solid-liquid ratio of the slurry in this example are the same as those conventionally known (for example, those described in Patent Document 2).
In this example, since the process (F) (return process) is included, even if the precision of adjustment of the scraping amount in the most upstream flotation machine (first tank) is not high, it was recovered in the first tank. The content of lead in the levitated material is always high, and the recovery rate of lead is always high.
In this case, the ratio of lead to oxide in the dry mass of levitated matter (floating ore) collected by the most upstream flotation machine (first tank; see symbol 25 in FIG. 2) (lead quality) Is preferably 35% by mass or more, more preferably 40% by mass or more, and still more preferably 42% by mass or more. The lead recovery rate is preferably 85% by mass or more, more preferably 90% by mass or more, and still more preferably 93% by mass or more. According to the present invention, the high lead quality and the high recovery rate are always maintained within the preferable numerical range even when the content rate of the recovery target substance in the processing object changes.
The ratio in terms of oxide of lead in the dry mass of the sedimentation residue (precipitation) collected by the most downstream flotation machine (see reference numeral 27 in FIG. 2) is preferably 2.0% by mass or less. Preferably it is 1.0 mass% or less, Most preferably, it is 0.5 mass% or less.

A flotation processing system corresponding to an example of the above flotation processing method will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 2, the flotation processing system of the present invention includes a slurry preparation tank 21 for preparing a slurry by mixing cement kiln extraction dust and water, and a slurry obtained in the slurry preparation tank 21 such as sodium hydrosulfide. Add a sulfiding agent to adjust the pH to 2-7 by adding sulfuric acid to the sulfiding agent addition tank 22 for obtaining a slurry containing lead sulfide, which is a solid component, and the slurry obtained in the sulfiding agent addition tank 22. In addition, a sulfuric acid addition tank 23 for obtaining a slurry containing calcium sulfate and lead sulfide, and a hydrophobizing agent such as xanthate is added to the slurry obtained in the sulfuric acid addition tank 23 to make the lead sulfide hydrophobic. Hydrophobic agent addition tank 24, floatation beneficiaries 25, 26, 27 arranged in series for flotation of slurry obtained in hydrophobization agent addition tank 24, and slurry from flotation beneficiators 26, 27 In preparation tank 21 Floating matter returning means for returning the collected floating object (e.g., pipe with a pump) and a.

In the slurry preparation tank 21, dust A was suspended in water so that the solid-liquid ratio (dust: water mass ratio) was 1:10 to prepare a slurry.
Next, pretreatment of flotation was performed on the obtained slurry. Specifically, the slurry was guided to the sulfiding agent addition tank 22 and sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) corresponding to the amount of lead contained in the dust A was added to generate lead sulfide in the slurry. Next, the obtained slurry was introduced into the sulfuric acid addition tank 23, and sulfuric acid was added to adjust the pH to 3. Thereafter, the obtained slurry was guided to the hydrophobizing agent addition tank 24, and xanthate was added as a hydrophobizing agent to hydrophobize the surface of the lead sulfide particles.
Next, this slurry was introduced at a flow rate of 500 liters / hr into a Fahrenwald type flotation machine 25 (having the structure shown in FIG. 1; first tank) having a 200 liter capacity liquid tank. The scraped amount (recovered amount) of the levitated material 3 in the liquid tank 2 (see the reference numeral in FIG. 1) of the flotation machine 25 is 60 liters / hr (hourly) by adjusting the height of the overflow weir 10. Set to. The rotational speed of the scraping blade was 20 rpm.

Next, the slurry discharged from the drain outlet of the flotation machine 25 (first tank) is introduced into the flotation machine 26 (second tank) having the same structure as the flotation machine 25, and the scraping blades rotate. By adjusting the height of the overflow weir 10 while maintaining the speed at 20 rpm, the amount of scraping of the levitated material 3 was set to 40 liter / hr, and flotation was performed.

Thereafter, the recovery rate of lead and the content of lead in the floated matter (dry matter) collected in the floatation machine 25 (first tank) and the sediment recovered in the floatation machine 27 (third tank). The lead content was calculated for the ore (dry matter). The results are shown in Table 1.

[Example 2]
In the flotation machine 25, 26, 27, the flotation machine 25 (first tank) of the flotation machine 25 (first tank) is treated at the time of dust A treatment by changing the rotation speed of the scraping blade 8 without changing the height of the overflow weir 10. The thickness of the levitated object 3 is 50 mm, and the scraped amount of the levitated substance 3 in the flotation machine 26 (second tank) and the flotation machine 27 (third tank) is 40 liters / hr and 100 liters, respectively. / H and at the time of processing of dust B, the thickness of the levitated material 3 of the flotation machine 25 (first tank) is set to 30 mm, and the flotation machine 26 (second tank) The experiment was performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the scraping amount of the levitated material 3 in the machine 27 (third tank) was set to 20 liter / hr and 50 liter / hr, respectively.
In Example 2, the position of the lower surface of the levitated object 3 is determined as the height of the upper end of the overflow weir 10 (a constant height), and the position of the upper surface of the levitated object 3 is obtained by an ultrasonic level meter. The thickness of the levitated material 3 was calculated.
The results are shown in Table 1.

[Comparative Example 1]
As a flotation machine, only the flotation machine 25 (first tank) is used, and the height of the overflow weir 10 is adjusted while the rotation speed of the scraping blade 8 is set to 20 rpm, thereby processing the dust A. The experiment was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the scraping amount of the float 3 was 60 liter / hr and the scraping amount of the float 3 was 30 hr / hr. The results are shown in Table 1.
[Comparative Example 2]
An experiment was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the height of the overflow weir 10 was not changed even when the type of dust was switched from dust A to dust B.
In Comparative Example 2, as in Example 1, the rotational speed of the scraping blade 8 is not changed. Further, the scraped amount of the levitated material 3 in the flotation machine 25 was 60 liters / hr when the dust A was processed, and 50 liters / hr when the dust B was processed. The results are shown in Table 1.

  From Table 1, in Examples 1 and 2, even if the type of dust changes, the lead recovery rate in the first tank is 95% by mass or more, and the lead content in the float in the first tank is 43% by mass. It can be seen that the content of lead in the ore deposit in the third tank is maintained at 0.4% by mass or less. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, since only the first tank is used as the flotation process tank, the lead recovery rate is as low as 87% by mass, and the lead content in the ore is 1.0 to 1.1% by mass. % Is high. Moreover, in the comparative example 2, since the rotation speed of the overflow weir and the scraping blade was not changed at the time of switching the type of dust, the lead content in the ore collected in the first tank was 44 mass% to 35 mass. It can be seen that the percentage is greatly reduced.
