The invention relates to a flotation method for lead and zinc ore difficult to select. The method includes the following steps of lead roughing, two-time lead scavenging, three-time lead fine selection, zinc roughing, two-time zinc scavenging and three-time fine selection. Lime serves as regulators, zinc sulfate and sodium sulfite serve as zinc inhibitor, diethyl dithiocarbamate and ethyl xanthogenate serve as lead collecting agents, copper sulfate serves as zinc activating agents, ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate serves as zinc collecting agents, and terpenic oil serves as foaming agents. The lead and zinc ore difficult to select is processed by the adoption of lead differential flotation and zinc selection technological processes, and the practical problems that in original technological processes, zinc contains a high content of lead which contains a high content of the zinc, and the lead recovery rate and the zinc recover rate are low are solved. The technological processes are simple, reliable, easy to operate, and good in sorting index. Compared with the original technological processes, the method has the advantages that under the circumstance that raw ore contains the same lead and zinc, mutual containing of the lead and zinc is reduced, and the lead recovery rate and the zinc recovery rate are greatly increased and increased by 9.29% and 9.05% respectively.
