The invention discloses a flotation
separation method of low / extra-low grade
copper-
molybdenum ores or chats. The
raw material is smashed until the
fineness of the
raw material is 0.074 mm, the occupying rate ranges from 50% to 80%, the
raw material is prepared into ore pulp with the weight
ranging from 25% to 40%, the PH value of
lime is adjusted and ranges from 7 to 9, and then
copper-
molybdenum bulk flotation and rougher flotation are conducted by a flotation
machine, so that
copper-
molybdenum bulk flotation rough concentrate is acquired; the copper-molybdenum bulk flotation rough concentrate is smashed until the
fineness of the copper-molybdenum bulk flotation rough concentrate is 0.043 mm, the occupying rate ranges from 50% to 80%, and the copper-molybdenum bulk flotation rough concentrate is prepared into ore pulp with the weight
ranging from 20% to 35%; a flotation column is adopted to conduct the detailed flotation of the copper-molybdenum bulk flotation, and copper-molybdenum bulk concentrate is acquired, the copper-molybdenum bulk concentrate is re-smashed until the until the
fineness of the copper-molybdenum bulk concentrate is 0.038 mm, the occupying rate ranges from 70% to 90%, and the copper-molybdenum bulk concentrate is prepared into ore pulp with the weight
ranging from 15% to 30%; the flotation column is used for conducting the rougher flotation of copper-molybdenum, one or more times of flotation on the occupied copper rough concentrate and molybdenum rough concentrate are conducted by the flotation
machine / flotation column, and the final copper concentrate and molybdenum concentrate are acquired. The flotation
separation method can deal with extra-low hard-flotation copper-molybdenum ores or chats with the copper grade lower than 0.2% and the molybdenum grade lower than 0.01%, and the copper concentrate with the copper grade higher than 23% and the molybdenum concentrate with the molybdenum grade higher than 43% are acquired.
