Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for improving beneficiability of a niobium mineral in niobium-containing tailings. The method comprises the following steps: spraying a culture solution containing ferrous oxide thiobacilli to a niobium-containing tailing heap, wherein the ferrous oxide thiobacilli can oxidize Fe<2+> on the surface of the niobium mineral in the niobium-containing tailings into Fe<3+> so as to be dissolved out, thereby changing the category and density of particles on the surface of the mineral and improving the floatability difference between the niobium mineral and other minerals in the niobium-containing tailings; reducing Fe<3+> on the surface of hematite or magnetite into Fe<2+> ions so as to be dissolved out by using iron-reducing bacteria; meanwhile enabling Fe<2+> to rapidly form a sulfide precipitate on the surface of hematite or magnetite in the presence of sulfate reducing bacteria or Na2S, thereby improving the floatation difference between the hematite or magnetite and the niobium mineral. By using the method, the recovery rate and grade of the niobium mineral in the niobium-containing tailings can be improved, meanwhile the environmental pollution and the use of chemical agents such as an inhibitor and a regulator in a floatation process can be reduced; the method has high social benefits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for improving the selectivity of niobium minerals in niobium-containing tailings. In particular, the present invention relates to microbiological pretreatment of niobium-containing tailings to increase their selectability. Background technique [0002] At present, the proven reserves of niobium resources in the world are about 25 million tons, mainly distributed in Brazil, China and Canada. Brazil's niobium resource reserves are greater than 70% of the world's proven reserves, ranking first in the world, while my country's niobium resource reserves rank second in the world. For niobium minerals with coarse particle size and simple occurrence state, higher-grade niobium concentrates can generally be obtained through a relatively simple sorting process. For example, the Alaksa Mine in Brazil is the largest and richest niobium resource base in the world, and the original ore grade is Nb 2 o 5 The content ...
