The invention discloses a low-
alumina-silica-ratio
bauxite direct flotation composite collecting agent and a preparation method thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: gradually adding an emulsifier into water, and stirring until the emulsifier is uniformly mixed to obtain an emulsifier solution; adding a
fatty acid soap compound, a hydroximic acid compound and a co-
emulsion into the emulsifier solution, and then heating, stirring and uniformly mixing to obtain a medicament
mixed solution; and the agent
mixed solution is placed in an ultrasonic cleaning
machine or a stirring emulsifying
machine, a synergist is added for a synergistic reaction, the solution is stirred to be uniform, and the composite collecting agent is obtained. The method is simple and easy to implement, the emulsifying effect can be improved, the production cost is reduced, the using amount of the collecting agent in the sorting process is reduced, mineral resources are saved and efficiently utilized, and the prepared collecting agent has the advantages of being excellent in selectivity, strong in collecting capacity, good in agent stability, resistant to low temperature and the like and is suitable for mineral separation of
bauxite with the low aluminum-
silicon ratio. The concentrate grade and
recovery rate can be effectively improved, and the aluminum-
silicon ratio of the concentrate is remarkably improved.
