The invention provides a method for recovering
copper, lead and
zinc from ultra-fine complicated cyanidation
tailings, and belongs to the technical field of
mineral processing. The method comprises the following steps that (1) the ultra-fine complicated cyanidation
tailings are concentrated through a thickener, and water and
sodium carbonate are added and are stirred to be made into primary ore pulp; (2) the primary ore pulp is conveyed to a flotation
machine unit, once-coarse once-fine twice-sweeping flotation flow process is adopted for recovering lead; the
tailings obtained through secondary sweeping flotation are lead sweeping flotation tailings; (3) the lead sweeping flotation tailings are concentrated, then, water is added, and secondary ore pulp is prepared; the secondary ore pulp is conveyed to the flotation
machine unit, once-coarse twice-fine and twice-sweeping flotation flow process is adopted for recovering
copper, and the tailings obtained through secondary sweeping flotation are
copper sweeping flotation tailings; (4) the copper sweeping tailings are concentrated, then, water is added, and
tertiary ore pulp is obtained, and the pH value is regulated; once-coarse three-time-fine and twice-sweeping flotation flow process is adopted for recovering
zinc; concentrates obtained through
tertiary concentration are
zinc concretes. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that the operation in the technical process is simple, the production index is stable, in addition, the
recovery and the use of production tailing water are realized, and the environment
pollution is reduced.
