Problems solved by technology

Cyanide tailings usually contain a large amount of slime, cyanide and excessive flotation reagents. The existing process for recovering lead, copper and zinc is complex and has high loss, and the recovered lead, copper and zinc minerals have low grade and recovery rate; In the context of the depletion of global mineral resources and the increasing environmental protection problems, how to effectively recover various valuable metal elements in the ultra-fine and complex cyanide tailings produced by ore gold extraction, so as to turn waste into treasure has become an important issue. The Common Research Direction of the World Mining Industry

Abstract

A method for recovering copper, lead and zinc from ultra-fine complex cyanide tailings, which belongs to the field of mineral processing technology and includes the following steps: (1) Concentrate the ultra-fine complex cyanide tailings through a thickener, add water and sodium carbonate, and stir Make primary slurry; (2) Send the primary slurry to the flotation unit, and use one coarse, one fine and two sweep flotation processes to recover lead; the tailings obtained from the second sweep are lead sweep tailings; (3) lead After the scavenging tailings are concentrated, water is added to make a secondary slurry; the secondary slurry is sent to the flotation unit, and copper is recovered using a coarse, second fine, and two-sweep flotation process. The tailings obtained from the secondary scavenging are copper scavenged tailings. ; (4) Concentrate the copper sweep tailings and add water to make a tertiary slurry, and adjust the pH value; the zinc will be recovered using a crude, three fine, and two sweep flotation processes; the concentrate obtained from the tertiary beneficiation is a zinc concentrate. The method of the invention has simple process operation, stable production index, realizes the recycling and application of production tail water, and reduces environmental pollution.

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...
