Study on Flotation Separation Technology of High Sulfur Complex Refractory Copper−Zinc Polymetallic Ore

  • 摘要: 陕西略阳县陈家坝高硫复杂难选铜锌多金属矿,有用矿物含量差异较大,有用矿物嵌布关系密切,属于难选硫化铜锌矿石。采用铜锌硫依次优先浮选工艺,考察了磨矿细度、药剂种类及用量等因素对铜−锌−硫分离的影响。结果表明,原矿在磨矿细度−0.074 mm含量占比90%、矿浆pH=8的条件下,经一粗两精两扫获得了产率4.50%、铜品位18.37%、锌品位3.66%、铜回收率89.73%的铜精矿,其中金品位4.48 g/t、金回收率34.85%,银品位109.00 g/t、银回收率45.42%,达到计价标准;铜尾矿经一粗两精两扫获得产率3.77%、锌品位50.57%、铜品位0.81%、锌回收率83.95%的锌精矿;锌尾矿经一粗一精一扫获得产率31.78%、硫品位48.25%、回收率80.57%的硫精矿,较好地实现了铜锌硫资源的分离与回收。同时低碱度条件下实现铜的优先浮选、高硫的抑制,大大提高了金、银在铜精矿中的回收率;使用碳酸氢铵与硫酸作为高钙高碱体系黄铁矿的组合活化剂大幅降低了硫酸用量。因此,针对该高硫复杂难选铜锌矿石,铜锌硫优先浮选流程稳定可靠且对矿石适应性强,可为选厂设计确定最终流程提供技术参考。

     

    Abstract: The high−sulfur complex and refractory copper−zinc polymetallic ore in Chenjiaba, Lueyang County, Shaanxi Province, has significant differences in the content of useful minerals and a close distribution relationship of useful minerals. It belongs to the refractory sulfide copper−zinc ore. It belongs to a difficult−to−select sulfide copper−zinc ore.The sequential priority flotation process of copper, zinc, and sulfur was adopted, and the effects of grinding fineness, types and dosages of reagents on the separation of copper, zinc, and sulfur were studied. The results showed that under the condition of a grinding fineness of 90% with a −0.074 mm fraction, one coarse stage, two fine stages, and two scavenging stages, a copper concentrate with a yield of 4.50%, a copper grade of 18.37%, and a recovery rate of 89.73% was obtained. The gold grade was 4.48 g/t, the gold recovery rate was 34.85%, the silver grade was 109.00 g/t, and the silver recovery rate was 45.42%, meeting the pricing standards.A zinc concentrate with a yield of 3.77%, a zinc grade of 50.57%, and a recovery rate of 83.95% was obtained from one coarse stage, two fine stages, and one scavenging stage. A sulfur concentrate with a yield of 31.78%, a sulfur grade of 48.25%, and a recovery rate of 80.57% was obtained from one coarse stage, one fine stage, and one scavenging stage. The separation and recovery of copper, zinc, and sulfur resources were achieved quite well. Under low alkalinity conditions, copper separation and inhibition of high sulfur were realized, significantly improving the recovery rate of gold and silver in the copper concentrate; ammonium bicarbonate and sulfuric acid were used as a combined activation agent for pyrite in a high−calcium high−alkalinity system, significantly reducing the dosage of sulfuric acid. Therefore, for this high−sulfur complex and difficult−to−select copper−zinc ore deposit, the copper−zinc sulfur priority flotation process is stable and reliable, and has strong adaptability to the ore, providing technical reference for the design of the processing plant's final process.
