表面预处理强化粗粒级石英长石浮选制备高纯石英

Enhancement of coarse particle quartz−feldspar flotation via surface pretreatment for high−purity quartz preparation

  • 摘要: 花岗伟晶岩石英是制备高纯石英的优质原料之一,以浮选方式去除其中的长石对花岗伟晶岩石英高效利用具有重要意义。为解决无氟浮选对高纯石英粒径的石英长石分选效果不佳、氢氟酸法对浮选设备腐蚀强的问题,本文将表面预处理引入0.107~0.187 mm粒级的石英长石浮选分离中。通过氢氟酸稀溶液进行浸泡完成对该粒级矿样的表面活化,过滤后再进行浮选。通过回收表面预处理废液减少氢氟酸用量并减弱对浮选设备的腐蚀。结果表明:(1)单矿物浮选中,经表面预处理后长石泡沫产品的回收率由92.2%提高至96.5%,而石英泡沫回收率仅为7.93%;(2)人工混合矿浮选中,表面预处理使石英浮选精矿SiO2品位由89.43%增至99.51%。通过该方法对国外某花岗伟晶岩石英中0.107~0.187 mm粒级的矿样进行浮选提纯,获得SiO2品位达到99%以上的石英精矿。经过深度提纯后达到4N8,达到高纯石英高端产品的指标;(3)油酸钠单独使用对长石捕收能力有限,但其与十二胺共同使用能以协同作用的方式增强长石表面的疏水性。表面预处理通过选择性刻蚀长石表面,增加比表面积,提高表面负电荷密度,捕收剂更易吸附于长石,使长石表面接触角提高了17.7°,进一步改善其疏水性。本文提出的强化0.107~0.187 mm粒级的石英长石浮选分离的方法,成功应用于以花岗伟晶岩石英为原料制备高纯石英的浮选提纯。

     

    Abstract: Granite pegmatite quartz is a high−quality raw material for producing high−purity quartz, and removing feldspar via flotation is crucial for its efficient utilization. The separation of quartz from feldspar via fluorine−free flotation exhibits low efficiency for high−purity quartz in specific particle−size fractions. Meanwhile, hydrofluoric acid−based flotation causes severe corrosion of flotation equipment. To mitigate these limitations, this study integrates surface pretreatment into the flotation separation protocol for quartz and feldspar within the 0.107−0.187 mm particle−size fraction. Surface activation of the ore sample in this size range was achieved by soaking in a dilute hydrofluoric acid solution, followed by filtration and flotation. Recycling the surface pretreatment waste liquid reduced hydrofluoric acid consumption and mitigated equipment corrosion. Results show: (1) In single−mineral flotation, after surface pretreatment, the recovery rate of feldspar froth product increased from 92.2% to 96.5%, while quartz froth recovery was only 7.93%; (2) In artificial mixed ore flotation, surface pretreatment increased the SiO2 grade of quartz flotation concentrate from 89.43% to 99.51%. Applying this method to flotation purification of a 0.107−0.187 mm ore sample from a foreign granite pegmatite quartz yielded a quartz concentrate with a SiO2 grade exceeding 99%. After deep purification, it reached 4N8, meeting the standards for high−end high−purity quartz products; (3) When sodium oleate is applied alone, it presents a weak collecting performance toward feldspar. Nevertheless, combined use of sodium oleate and dodecylamine generates a synergistic effect, which effectively improves the surface hydrophobicity of feldspar. Surface pretreatment selectively etches the feldspar surface, increasing specific surface area and surface negative charge density, making collectors more easily adsorb onto feldspar and raising its contact angle by 17°, further improving hydrophobicity. The enhanced flotation separation method for quartz and feldspar in the 0.107−0.187 mm size fraction proposed here has been successfully applied to flotation purification of granite pegmatite quartz for high−purity quartz production.
