Abstract

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral processing, and in particular relates to a method for recovering copper, lead and zinc from ultrafine complex cyanide tailings. Background technique [0002] At present, gold production at home and abroad is mainly based on the low-cost and large-scale cyanide gold extraction method. The cyanide gold extraction method has the advantages of mature technology, low cost, strong ore adaptability, and high recovery rate. In the century-old gold extraction industry Occupying a dominant position, about 85% of the world's gold is currently produced by cyanide gold extraction. [0003] Due to the low content of gold in the raw ore, a large amount of ultra-fine complex cyanide tailings will be produced during the smelting process. The chemical composition of these cyanide tailings is relatively complex, containing various valuable metals such as lead, copper, zinc, etc. These Valuable metals have great uti...
