Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, if the vulcanization reaction time is long, a thick sulfide film is formed on the surface of the mineral, which is beneficial to the flotation of the mineral, but if the vulcanization reaction time is too long, the vulcanizing agent is easy to decompose and fail
In addition, excessive stirring after prolonging the vulcanization time may also easily cause the vulcanization film to fall off
Therefore, in the same flotation system of copper-containing oxide minerals, the addition of vulcanizing agent has both activation and inhibition effects. Using a vulcanizing agent to vulcanize the performance of copper oxide minerals can improve its hydrophobicity and play the role of activated flotation. However, the addition of excessive sulfuration activator will reduce the buoyancy of copper sulfide minerals at the same time, showing a more significant inhibitory effect.

Abstract

The invention discloses a flotation method for copper minerals. The flotation method comprises the following steps: a, grinding and pulping copper minerals to obtain ore pulp; b, adding a vulcanization activating agent into the ore pulp in the step a, and uniformly stirring, wherein the vulcanization activating agent comprises a reducing active agent and a vulcanizing agent according to a mass ratio of 1:10-20; c, adding a flotation reagent into the mixed material obtained in the step b; and d, carrying out foam flotation on the mixed material obtained in the step c, and separating to obtain copper concentrate and flotation tailings. According to the method, the forming process of the sulfide film on the surface of the copper ore can be improved, regulated and controlled, the vulcanizing agent can be reasonably used, and the purpose of efficient flotation and enrichment of the mixed copper ore and the copper oxide ore is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ore flotation, and in particular relates to a copper mineral flotation method. Background technique [0002] At present, the sulfidation flotation process is still the main flotation enrichment technology for mixed copper ore and copper oxide ore. The vulcanizing agents used in the vulcanization flotation process of copper-containing oxide minerals mainly include sodium sulfide, sodium hydrosulfide, ammonium sulfide, calcium sulfide and sodium polysulfide, etc. These vulcanizing agents can react with copper ions on the surface of copper oxide minerals to form hydrophobic Sulfide film activates the flotation of copper oxide ore, but when it is used as an activator for copper mineral flotation, if it is not used properly, it will inhibit copper sulfide minerals or sulfided copper oxide minerals. However, mixed copper ore and copper oxide ore are usually mixed with oxygen-sulfur-copper minerals, and it is d...
