Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of non-ferrous metal beneficiation, and particularly to a beneficiation method for the efficient comprehensive recovery of tungsten, molybdenum and bismuth polymetallic ores. Background Art
[0002] The tungsten resource reserves in China account for about 50% of the global reserves, but the reserve-production ratio is only 25, which is 1 / 5 of the international tungsten resource reserve-production ratio. The resources are consumed too fast, and there are certain risks in the long-term resource guarantee. With the gradual depletion of easily beneficiated and high-grade wolframite resources, and the annual decline of the endowment of tungsten ore resources, China's tungsten industry will gradually turn to the severe situation of mainly mining complex, low-grade and lean tungsten polymetallic ores.
[0003] This type of deposit is widely distributed and has large reserves in China, and is associated with many valuable elements such as molybdenum, bismuth and fluorite. The comprehensive development and utilization has high economic value. However, due to the special geological ore-forming conditions, the mineral composition is extremely complex, and the contents of metal minerals such as tungsten, molybdenum and bismuth are low, and it is difficult to comprehensively utilize under the current beneficiation technical conditions.
[0004] At present, for the comprehensive mining and recovery of this type of complex, low-grade and lean tungsten polymetallic ores in China, the following problems mainly exist:
[0005] 1. There are many types of co-associated valuable elements, but the grades are generally low (WO3≤0.35%, Mo≤0.05%, Bi≤0.10%). The comprehensive mining cost is high, the production process is complex, the overall resource utilization rate is low, and the economic benefits of enterprises are poor.
[0006] 2. The dissemination size of tungsten minerals is extremely fine. Under the condition of coarse grinding, the monomer dissociation degree of tungsten minerals is poor, and qualified concentrate products cannot be obtained; in the case of fine grinding, tungsten minerals are easily over-ground and slime, seriously deteriorating the flotation index, resulting in serious tailing of -10 micron fine-grained tungsten minerals in the wolframite flotation tailings. Minerals such as molybdenum, bismuth and fluorite also have the same trend in the flotation process. For example, in the flotation method for tungsten-molybdenum low-grade associated fluorite ore of CN202110981534.7, a multi-step flotation process is adopted, including roughing, rough scavenging, secondary cleaning, clean scavenging and four more cleaning steps, combined with mixed alkalis of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide, water glass, polycarboxylic acid and organic phosphonic acid and other reagents, and through a mixed fatty acid collector of modified oleic acid and oxidized paraffin soap and an acidified water glass inhibitor, the efficient separation of fluorite and calcite is realized. To obtain a higher recovery rate and grade of fluorite. However, on the one hand, there is no molybdenum-bismuth mixed flotation process, and on the other hand, it only involves the fluorite rough concentrate obtained after roughing after the separation of tungsten and molybdenum, and does not involve the separation process of wolframite and scheelite;
[0007] 3. In the ore, WO3 exists in the form of symbiotic wolframite and scheelite. There are significant differences in the flotation characteristics and floating rates of the two. In particular, the optimal flotation pH of scheelite is in the range of 8.0 - 8.5, while the floating rate constant of wolframite reaches the maximum at pH 9.50. Usually, when floating wolframite and scheelite together, to ensure a better recovery rate of scheelite with better floatability, the roughing pH for floating wolframite is generally maintained at about 8.50, resulting in a significantly higher loss rate of wolframite in the wolframite flotation tailings than that of scheelite, and a low overall recovery rate of WO3.
[0008] Therefore, it is urgent to design and develop a beneficiation method for the efficient comprehensive recovery of tungsten, molybdenum, and bismuth polymetallic ores, break through the dual constraints of the current beneficiation technology bottleneck and economic benefits, realize the high-level comprehensive utilization of such tungsten polymetallic mineral resources, strengthen the advantageous value of China's tungsten resources, and ensure the stable and sustainable development of the tungsten industry. Summary of the Invention
[0009] In view of the problems of low comprehensive utilization rate and poor economic benefits of complex, low-grade tungsten polymetallic ores, the present invention invents a beneficiation process for the efficient comprehensive recovery of tungsten, molybdenum, and bismuth polymetallic ores, which has the characteristics of a compact process flow, stable production, low cost, high comprehensive resource recovery rate, and good beneficiation economic benefits, and realizes the high-level comprehensive utilization of such tungsten polymetallic mineral resources.
[0010] A beneficiation method for the efficient comprehensive recovery of tungsten, molybdenum, and bismuth polymetallic ores includes the following steps:
[0011] (1) The ground product obtained by grinding and classifying the -5mm high-pressure roller mill product of the raw ore is fed into a stirring tank for pulp adjustment to obtain the feed pulp.
[0012] (2) The feed pulp in step (1) is subjected to rough flotation of molybdenum and bismuth mixture to obtain a rough concentrate of molybdenum, bismuth, and sulfur and roughing tailings.
[0013] (3) The rough concentrate of molybdenum, bismuth, and sulfur obtained by flotation in step (2) is subjected to cleaning of the mixed flotation to obtain a mixed concentrate of molybdenum, bismuth, and sulfur; for the middlings in the cleaning of the mixed flotation, they are sequentially returned to the rough flotation of molybdenum and bismuth mixture again.
[0014] (4) The roughing tailings in step (2) are subjected to scavenging of the mixed flotation to obtain scavenging concentrate and scavenging tailings.
[0015] (5) The scavenging concentrate in step (4) is reground, and the obtained reground product is returned to the cleaning operation of the mixed flotation.
[0016] (6) The scavenging tailings in step (4) are subjected to weak magnetic separation to obtain iron concentrate and weak magnetic tailings.
[0017] (7) Feed the weak magnetic tailings in step (6) through a "one roughing, one cleaning, and one scavenging" strong magnetic roughing operation to obtain wolframite rough concentrate and strong magnetic tailings. The strong magnetic cleaning middlings and strong magnetic scavenging concentrate are combined and returned to the strong magnetic roughing operation again.
[0018] (8) Feed the wolframite rough concentrate in step (7) to a gravity separation operation to obtain wolframite concentrate and gravity separation tailings, and return the gravity separation tailings to the strong magnetic roughing operation.
[0019] (9) Feed the strong magnetic tailings in step (7) to a scheelite flotation operation to obtain scheelite concentrate and scheelite flotation tailings.
[0020] (10) Feed the scheelite flotation tailings in step (9) to a fluorite flotation operation. Through a "one roughing, one cleaning, and one scavenging" process, obtain fluorite cleaning 1 foam and fluorite scavenging tailings. The fluorite cleaning middlings 1 and scavenging foam are combined for one-time middlings cleaning. The obtained foam product is returned to the fluorite roughing operation after regrinding, and the middlings cleaning tailings and fluorite scavenging tailings are combined and discharged into the tailings pond.
[0021] (11) Conduct 2 - 8 repeated cleaning operations on the fluorite cleaning 1 foam in step (10) to obtain fluorite concentrate products, and the cleaning middlings are returned in sequence.
[0022] For the above beneficiation method, preferably, the pulp concentration in the agitation tank in step (1) is 30% - 55%, and the fineness is such that -0.075mm accounts for 45% - 75%.
[0023] This technical solution has the following novelty features different from the prior art in terms of process combination and process optimization: Synergistic design of bulk flotation and stepwise magnetic separation / gravity separation: Through a process chain of "molybdenum-bismuth-sulfur bulk flotation - weak magnetic separation of iron - strong magnetic separation of wolframite - gravity separation of wolframite - flotation of scheelite - flotation of fluorite", efficient separation of multiple metals is achieved.
[0024] Scavenging concentrate secondary regrinding and return mechanism: In step e, the scavenging concentrate is reground twice and then returned to the bulk flotation cleaning operation, significantly improving the dissociation degree of valuable minerals.
[0025] Deep treatment system for fluorite flotation middlings: In step j, a composite process of "middlings cleaning + regrinding and return + multi-stage cleaning" is used to treat the intermediate products of fluorite flotation. Compared with the conventional single sequential return method, the grade of fluorite concentrate can be increased by 3 - 5 percentage points.
[0026] Comprehensive utilization path for strong magnetic tailings: Use the strong magnetic tailings as the raw material for scheelite flotation (step 9), and continue to recover fluorite from the scheelite flotation tailings (step 10) to achieve cascaded utilization of tailings resources.
[0027] The present invention has significant progress in terms of:
[0028] Improved recovery rate of the target substance: By means of bulk flotation, the mutual loss of molybdenum, bismuth and sulfur is reduced, and the recovery rate is increased by 5-8%. The magnetic-gravity combined separation reduces the loss of wolframite, and the recovery rate is increased by more than 10%;
[0029] Process intensification: The process that traditionally requires 6-8 independent separation systems can be compressed into a single continuous process, and the equipment investment is reduced by 30%;
[0030] Breakthrough in tailings resource utilization: The recovery rate of fluorite can reach more than 65%, achieving a high recovery effect.
[0031] For the above beneficiation method, preferably, in step (2), the rougher regulator is one or a combination of several of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium fluorosilicate, water glass and its modified products; the collectors include but are not limited to one or a combination of several of ethyl thionocarbamate, ethyl thionamide, xanthate series collectors, ammonium butyl dithiophosphate, kerosene, diesel oil and other products.
[0032] For the above beneficiation method, preferably, in step (3), the scavenger inhibitors include but are not limited to one or a combination of several of water glass, acidified water glass, ammonium fluorosilicate, aluminum sulfate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, calcium lignosulfonate.
[0033] For the above beneficiation method, preferably, in step (4), the scavenger collectors include but are not limited to long-chain xanthate, higher black drug and ester sulfide ore collectors.
[0034] For the above beneficiation method, in step (5), the fineness of the regrinding of the bulk flotation scavenger foam is -0.075mm content ≥ 85%, and the monomer dissociation of molybdenum and bismuth minerals in the regrinding product is ≥ 90%.
[0035] For the above beneficiation method, in step (9), the scheelite flotation collectors include but are not limited to one or a combination of several of styrene phosphonic acid, salicylhydroxamic acid, benzohydroxamic acid, fatty acids and their modified products, oxidized paraffin soap, etc.; the inhibitors include but are not limited to one or a combination of several of acidified water glass, water glass, sodium hexametaphosphate, aluminum sulfate, guar gum, xanthan gum.
[0036] For the above beneficiation method, in step (10), the fluorite collectors include but are not limited to one or a combination of several of oleic acid, linoleic acid, sodium oleate, oxidized paraffin soap, and various modified fatty acid collectors.
[0037] For the above beneficiation method, in step (11), the inhibitors include but are not limited to one or a combination of several of acidified water glass, water glass, sodium hexametaphosphate, aluminum sulfate, guar gum, tannin extract, caustic starch, modified polyacrylic acid.
[0038] Compared with the existing conventional technologies, the present invention has the following innovative features:
[0039] 1) In view of the uneven dissemination size of molybdenum and bismuth minerals in the raw ore, the present invention utilizes the characteristic that the floating rate of molybdenum and bismuth mineral lean intergrowths is significantly lower than that of molybdenum and bismuth monomer minerals. Under the condition of coarser grinding fineness, molybdenum and bismuth minerals with coarser dissemination size and higher monomer dissociation degree are preferentially recovered, avoiding over-grinding and over-crushing of this part of molybdenum and bismuth minerals during fine grinding, and significantly reducing the grinding energy consumption of the concentrator.
[0040] 2) The present invention strengthens the enrichment of molybdenum and bismuth intergrowth minerals with slower floating rate and higher proportion of intergrowth with gangue in the scavenging operation section. The obtained foam product realizes the efficient monomer dissociation of fine-grained molybdenum and bismuth minerals through secondary grinding, avoiding the over-grinding and slime-forming of tungsten minerals caused by fine grinding in the roughing section, and creating good conditions for the subsequent tungsten flotation operation.
[0041] 3) Based on the magnetic difference between wolframite and scheelite, the present invention uses high-intensity magnetic separation to achieve their efficient separation, avoiding the low overall recovery rate of WO3 caused by the tailing of wolframite during the bulk flotation of scheelite and wolframite, creating favorable conditions for the flotation of scheelite, simplifying the wolframite flotation reagent system, and improving the scheelite flotation index.
[0042] 4) In view of the uneven dissemination size of fluorite minerals, the present invention combines fluorite middling 1 and fluorite scavenging concentrate under coarse grinding conditions for middling cleaning. The obtained foam product is subjected to secondary re-grinding to achieve the monomer dissociation of fine-grained fluorite minerals while avoiding over-grinding of coarser-disseminated and already monomer-dissociated fluorite minerals, significantly reducing the content of fine-grained fluorite in the tailings and optimizing the fluorite flotation index.
[0043] The present invention provides a beneficiation method for the efficient comprehensive recovery of tungsten, molybdenum and bismuth polymetallic ores. Through process chain innovation, the technical effects of "reducing costs through bulk flotation - improving efficiency through magnetic and gravity separation - increasing the value of tailings in a cascade manner" are achieved, solving long-term technical problems such as long process flow, serious metal mutual loss, and waste of associated resources in the field of comprehensive recovery of polymetallic ores. It can have the characteristics of low grinding and beneficiation costs, good separation indexes, and high resource comprehensive utilization rate. This process makes full use of the characteristic of uneven dissemination size of target minerals, significantly coarsens the fineness of the first-stage grinding, and uses the differences in flotation characteristics and floating rates between different minerals to achieve refined re-grinding of intergrowth minerals, significantly reducing the grinding energy consumption while effectively avoiding over-grinding of most of the already monomer-dissociated target minerals, thus realizing the efficient comprehensive recovery of tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth and fluorite, providing a new way and idea for the recovery and utilization of such complex and low-grade tungsten polymetallic ores.

WO3 mainly exists as scheelite, followed by wolframite, and the ratio of the two is about 6:4. Mo exists in the form of single molybdenite, mostly in plate-like and blade-like shapes, with a particle size between 0.02 and 0.1 mm, regular in shape, and the intergrowth relationship with other minerals is relatively simple. In particular, its plate-like crystal form is very conducive to dissociation during the grinding process; Bi mainly exists in the form of bismuthinite and native bismuth, with a very fine particle size, generally less than 0.03 mm. The non-metallic minerals in the ore are mainly fluorite, with irregular crystal forms and uneven particle sizes. Individual coarser ones can reach more than 0.8 mm, and a small number of finer ones are less than 0.02 mm, generally between 0.03 and 0.3 mm. Some fluorite grains contain fine gangue such as calcite, mica, and feldspar, especially the intergrowth relationship with mica is very close, and some also form an extremely complex inclusion and intergrowth relationship with gangue. The gangue minerals are mainly quartz, feldspar, mica, and a small amount of amphibole, beryl, etc. The WO3 content in the ore is 0.34%, the Mo content is 0.053%, the Bi content is 0.10%, and the CaF2 content is 19.78%.

The specific steps are as follows:
[0089] (1) Grind and classify the -5mm high-pressure roller mill product of the original ore to obtain a grinding product with 90% of the -0.075mm particle size fraction, and feed it into a stirring tank for pulp adjustment to obtain a feed pulp with a concentration of 50%;

The middlings from weak magnetic cleaning are combined with the tailings from weak magnetic roughing to form weak magnetic tailings. An iron concentrate with a yield of 0.32% and a TFe grade of 63.55% is obtained.
[0095] (7) The weak magnetic tailings in step (6) are subjected to "one roughing, one cleaning, and one scavenging" high-intensity magnetic separation. The magnetic field intensities for roughing, cleaning, and scavenging are 1.2 T, 1.5 T, and 1.0 T respectively, to obtain wolframite rough concentrate and high-intensity magnetic tailings. The middlings from high-intensity magnetic cleaning are combined with the concentrate from high-intensity magnetic scavenging and returned to the high-intensity magnetic roughing operation.
[0096] (8) The wolframite rough concentrate in step (7) is subjected to tabling gravity separation to obtain wolframite concentrate with a yield of 0.13%, a WO3 grade of 61.08%, and a WO3 recovery rate of 23.62%.

[0097] (9) The high-intensity magnetic tailings in step (7) are fed into scheelite flotation, which undergoes a separation process of "one roughing, two scavengings, and four cleanings". The flotation reagent regime is as follows: for roughing, sodium silicate (salted) 591 g / t, lead nitrate 788 g / t, collector benzohydroxamic acid 591 g / t, and frother BK205 6 g / t; for scavenging 1, collector benzohydroxamic acid 49 g / t and frother BK205 6 g / t; for scavenging 2, collector benzohydroxamic acid 25 g / t; for cleaning 1, sodium silicate (salted) 49 g / t; for cleaning 2, sodium silicate (salted) 30 g / t; for cleaning 3, sodium silicate (salted) 20 g / t; for cleaning 4, sodium silicate (salted) 20 g / t. The middlings from flotation are returned in sequence to obtain scheelite concentrate with a yield of 0.40%, a WO3 grade of 41.88%, and a WO3 recovery rate of 49.84% and scheelite flotation tailings.
[0098] (10) Sodium carbonate 1472 g / t, sodium silicate 982 g / t, and collector CYS-7 (modified fatty acid) 785 g / t are added to the scheelite flotation tailings in step (9) for fluorite roughing to obtain fluorite rough concentrate and fluorite roughing tailings.

The tailings obtained from middling cleaning are discharged into the tailings pond.
[0102] (14) Return the middling concentrate foam obtained in step (13) to the fluorite roughing operation;

The inhibitor added in the concentration agent is acidified water glass, and the dosages are 294 g / t, 196 g / t, 147 g / t, 98 g / t, 49 g / t, and 49 g / t in sequence. The middlings in the concentration are returned in sequence to obtain a fluorite concentrate product with a yield of 15.76%, a CaF₂ grade of 97.74%, and a CaF₂ recovery rate of 77.89%.
[0104] Compared with the beneficiation method of Example 1, directly raising the grinding fineness to a -0.075 mm particle size content of 90% using the above process not only leads to a more than 30% significant increase in the grinding energy consumption of the concentrator, but also causes the WO₃ grade of the tungsten comprehensive concentrate to decrease by 3.81 percentage points, the WO₃ recovery rate to decrease by 7.51 percentage points, the recovery rates of Mo and Bi in the molybdenum-bismuth mixed concentrate to decrease by 3.96 and 4.20 percentage points respectively, and the CaF₂ recovery rate of the fluorite concentrate to decrease by 3.95 percentage points.
