Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) After the gold concentrate is ultra-finely ground, the specific surface area increases, and the dispersion system is "colloid-like", which makes it difficult to separate by flotation;
[0005] (2) Part of the metal minerals in the cyanidation process are strongly inhibited due to excessive oxidation and are difficult to activate;
[0006] (3) Most of the minerals are in the state of co-association, and the elements interact with each other, which increases the difficulty of separation between the elements
The multi-metal recovery of ultra-fine cyanide slag under high-cyanide backwater is very difficult or even impossible to comprehensively recover multiple metals, which brings great economic losses to enterprises.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of wet metallurgy, and particularly relates to a method for carrying out floatation recovering of valuable metals in superfine cyanided tailings by using high-cyanogen backwater. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out pulp mixing by utilizing a method for carrying out floatation recovering of valuable metals in superfine cyanided tailings by using high-cyanogen backwater during cyaniding operation, delivering the ore pulp to a flotation unit, regulating the pH of the ore pulp to be 10-12 with lime, recovering lead by adopting 'one-roughing, two-cleaning and two-scavenging' flow, concentrating the lead scavenged tailings and then adding into high-cyanogen backwater for mixing pulp, recovering zinc-lead concentrate by adopting 'one roughing, one cleaning and one scavenging' flow, concentrating the zinc-lead scavenged tailings and then adding into high-cyanogen backwater for mixing pulp, recovering copper concentrate by adopting 'one roughing, three cleaning and two scavenging' flow, carrying out twice scavenging on the copper scavenged tailings again, finally concentrating, and enabling bottom flow to flow through a filtering machine to obtain a concentrate product. Floatation is carried out by utilizing high-cyanogen high-base backwater and adopting combined floatation and inhibition chemicals, the separation and recovery of lead, zinc, copper and sulfur can be realized, and various valuable metals in the cyanided tailings can be effectively utilized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydrometallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for recovering valuable metals in superfine cyanide tailings by flotation with high-cyanide backwater. Background technique [0002] Gold extraction by cyanidation is a commonly used technology for gold extraction in gold mines in the world. The advantage of this method is that the gold extraction effect is good, but the disadvantages are also very prominent, mainly because a large amount of cyanide tailings will be produced. These cyanidation tailings are fine in particle size, high in viscosity, complex in mineral composition, and contain highly toxic cyanide radicals and residual polluting chemicals. With the increasing scarcity of mineral resources, tailings as a secondary resource have received more and more attention. In addition to unleached gold and silver, cyanidation tailings also contain a large amount of valuable metals such as copper, lead, zinc,...
