The invention relates to a low-grade
scheelite branch floating method. The low-grade
scheelite branch floating method includes the following steps and conditions that carbon and
sulfur flotation is carried out, namely,
kerosene and sulphide ore collecting agents are added into ore pulp based on the weight of dry raw ore for two times of
sulfur rougher flotation, and
sulfur concentration is carried out on sulfur rough concentrate without any chemicals to obtain sulfur concentrate;
scheelite branch rougher flotation is carried out, namely, sulfur rougher tailing pulp is fed into a distribution tank I and a distribution tank II and then evenly divided into a branch flow I and a branch flow II,
sodium carbonate is added respectively to adjust the pH value of the ore pulp, modified
sodium silicate and 731 oxidized paraffin
soap are added, stirred and mixed into the pulp, then wolfram grab picking is carried out, the 731 oxidized paraffin
soap is added into wolfram rougher
tailings to carry out two times of wolfram rough
scavenging, and then two times of wolfram rough concentration are carried out, so that scheelite rough concentrate and
tailings are obtained; and scheelite normal-temperature concentration is carried out, namely,
sodium carbonate is added into the scheelite rough concentrate to adjust the pH value of the ore pulp, then modified
sodium silicate is added to carry out wolfram concentrate rougher flotation, the
tailings obtained after wolfram concentrate rougher flotation are subjected to two times of wolfram concentrate
scavenging, the tailings are separated out, then middlings obtained after wolfram concentrate rougher flotation are subjected to four times of wolfram concentrate
scavenging, and scheelite scavenging concentrate is obtained. The low-grade scheelite branch floating method has the advantages of being short in process, easy to operate, high in adaptability, low in
processing cost, good in dense settlement effect, easy to industrialize and the like, and is suitable for floating application of low-grade scheelite.
