Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of beneficiation of high-content talc nickel sulfide ores, and in particular to a beneficiation method for improving nickel recovery rate of high-content talc nickel sulfide ores. Background Art
[0002] Through the process mineralogy research of a nickel-cobalt sulfide ore, it was found that the nickel minerals in the ore are mainly pyrrhotite, pentlandite and trace amounts of red arsenic nickel ore, nickel ore and iron-nickel alum; the pyrite minerals are mainly pyrrhotite, and some pyrrhotites contain nickel; the gangue minerals are mainly talc, serpentine, and olivine, followed by pyroxene, feldspar, actinolite, mica, quartz, epidote, chlorite, etc., among which the talc content is as high as 21.67%.
[0003] According to reports, talc is a layered mineral with distinct end faces and base faces. The base face is a non-polar surface that exhibits strong hydrophobicity, while the end face exposes MgOH+, making it hydrophilic. The talc base face content is much higher than the end face content, so the talc as a whole exhibits very good floatability. In addition, the Mohs hardness of talc is very small. In the on-site process flow, it is easy to over-grind during grinding to produce a large amount of fine mud, which greatly increases the amount of flotation reagents used and worsens the flotation environment.
[0004] From the perspective of process mineralogy: Since talc minerals are very easy to become muddy and have good floatability, and are very easy to agglomerate and cover during flotation, a large amount of flotation reagents are consumed when entering the flotation operation, making it difficult to capture the target mineral. In addition, for the entire flotation process, the flotation environment will be deteriorated, thereby greatly affecting the flotation index and the flotation performance of sulfide minerals. Since talc in the ore is a layered silicate mineral with easy floating characteristics, it is difficult to effectively inhibit it using conventional inhibitors. The use of CMC can significantly enhance the wettability of the talc particle layer and end surface and make them consistent. CMC chemically adsorbs the metal ions on the surface of talc fine mud, thereby inhibiting the talc that floats due to surface hydrophobicity, and can also inhibit serpentine ore mud to achieve flotation separation of sulfide ore and talc.
[0005] The CMC reagent beneficiation test shows that the CMC dosage has a great influence on the beneficiation index. When the dosage is large, it not only inhibits silicate minerals, but also inhibits metal minerals such as nickel. When the dosage is small, it cannot inhibit the gangue minerals. Choosing the appropriate dosage is the key to mastering the CMC inhibitor to improve the beneficiation technical indicators of high-content talc sulfide ores. Moreover, CMC cannot prevent a small amount of talc from floating up due to foam entrainment, so setting a reasonable dosing point and coordinating the dosage of collectors and activators plays an important role in whether CMC can fully exert its efficacy and inhibit gangue minerals. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a beneficiation method for improving nickel recovery rate of high-content talc sulfide nickel ore.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A method for beneficiating a high-content talc-sulfide nickel ore to improve nickel recovery rate comprises the following steps: A.

A total of 13271 Am of air is added to the pulp. 3 / h, 40g / t of butyl xanthate and 40g / t of copper sulfate were added in the first roughing operation; 30g / t of butyl xanthate, 80g / t of copper sulfate and 100g / t of CMC were added in the second roughing operation; 10g / t of butyl xanthate, 20g / t of copper sulfate and 50g / t of CMC were added in the third roughing operation; 10g / t of butyl xanthate and 30g / t of CMC were added in the fourth roughing operation, and the flotation time was 40-42 minutes in total, to obtain a roughing concentrate product B1 and a fourth roughing tailing product B2; the fourth roughing tailing product B2 obtained from B.1 was used as the final tailings and was sent to the tailings pond for storage after being concentrated; B.
2. Feed the rougher concentrate B1 obtained in step B.1 into a stirring tank, add 280 g / t of CMC, 550 g / t of water glass, 50 g / t of butyl xanthate, and 10 g / t of 2# oil foaming agent; adjust the pH value of the slurry to 8.5-9.0; add water to adjust the concentration of the slurry to 10-12%, and obtain product A4; C.
1. Primary concentration: Feed the product A4 obtained in step B.2 into the flotation machine for concentration, add water to adjust the pulp concentration to 10-12%, and fill the pulp with air 13370 Am 3 / h, flotation for 34-36 minutes, to obtain the primary concentrated ore product C1 and the primary concentrated tailings product C2; C.
2. Secondary concentration: Feed the primary concentrated ore product C1 into the flotation machine for secondary concentration, add water to adjust the pulp concentration to 15-20%, and fill the pulp with air 6035 Am 3 / h, flotation for 10-12 minutes, to obtain secondary concentrate product C3 and secondary concentrated tailings product C4; feed the secondary concentrated tailings product C4 into a stirring tank, add CMC 20g / t, butyl xanthate 20g / t, 2# oil 10g / t, so that the pH value of the pulp reaches 8.5-9.0; add water to adjust the concentration of the pulp to 12-15%, to obtain pulp A6, and feed pulp A6 into step C.1; C.
3. Third concentration: Feed the secondary concentrate product C3 into the flotation machine for third concentration, add water to adjust the pulp concentration to 12-15%, and fill the pulp with air 3122 Am 3 / h, flotation for 10-12 minutes, to obtain tertiary concentrate product C5 and tertiary concentrated tailings product C6. C5 is used as the final concentrate and then concentrated and filtered to wait for sale; the tertiary concentrated tailings product C6 is fed into step C.
