The invention discloses a new mineral
separation method suitable for separation of hard-separation micro-fine particle magnetic iron ores. The new mineral
separation method adopts a process comprising the steps of carrying out two-stage
grinding on raw ores, carrying out low-intensity
magnetic separation, obtaining
ore concentrate through
reverse flotation and single-stage roughing, regrinding middlings, carrying out the low-intensity
magnetic separation and carrying out the
reverse flotation; two-stage low-intensity
magnetic separation ore concentrate is obtained through the process by adopting a method comprising the steps of stage
grinding and stage low-intensity magnetic separation
tailings discarding; qualified
iron ore concentrate can be obtained in advance by carrying out a cationic collector
reverse flotation technology on the two-stage low-intensity magnetic separation
ore concentrate under the situation that the
granularity is roughened; a regrinding and low-intensity magnetic
separation technology is carried out on reverse flotation middlings, the cationic collector reverse flotation technology is carried out on three-stage low-intensity magnetic separation ore concentrate, and thus the iron concentrate grade is increased. According to the new mineral
separation method disclosed by the invention, ore concentrate is obtained in advance as the reverse flotation is carried out by independently adopting a cationic collector under the situation that a depressor DF is not added, adding points of medicament are reduced, the manual operation difficulty is reduced, and the cost of mineral separation medicament is reduced; since the ore concentrate is obtained in advance through the reverse flotation, three-stage ball milling material amount is reduced, the ore
grinding cost is greatly reduced, and the effect of extracting iron and reducing the energy can be achieved.
