The invention relates to a method for using
copper-containing
sludge to produce
copper concentrate. The method includes: intermittently adding acid, controlling the pH of solution of the whole reaction process to be about 2.5, and reacting for about 100 minutes to obtain stirring acid leaching residue
slurry; adding
sodium sulfide solution into the stirring acid leaching residue
slurry, and stirring for about 15 minutes to obtain vulcanized
electroless plating copper residue
slurry; adding about 12g of butyl
xanthate serving as a collecting agent and about 13g of
ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate into each cubic meter of the vulcanized
electroless plating copper residue slurry, stirring for 3 minutes, adding 2g of 2# oil serving as a
foaming agent, continuing stirring for 2 minutes, and then roughing for 6 minutes to obtain rough copper concentrate and roughing tailing slurry; concentrating the rough copper concentrate for 5 minutes to obtain copper concentrate and middlings 1, adding 5g of butyl
xanthate serving as the collecting agent and 5g of
ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate into each cubic meter of the roughing tailing slurry, stirring and
scavenging to obtain middlings 2 and
scavenging tailing slurry; adding
lime milk to neutralize the
scavenging tailing slurry, stirring for 50 minutes and controlling end point pH to be 8, and performing
solid-liquid separation after reaction to obtain filtrate and filter cakes. The method is simple in
production line and production process, low in total production cost, low in investment, fast to achieve desired results, low in
energy consumption, high in copper recycling rate, and the like.
