Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to an environmentally friendly flotation method and system for flotation recovery of copper and gold ores. Background Art
[0002] The purpose of mineral extraction is to extract valuable metals, compounds or other useful components from ores or minerals existing in nature through a series of physical and chemical processes. When extracting copper and gold ores, flotation is usually used.
[0003] Flotation of copper and gold ores is achieved by adding powdered minerals, reagents and water flow into the flotation machine, so that the gas in the flotation machine is introduced into the ore pulp, forming a large number of fine bubbles. The treated mineral particles have enhanced surface hydrophobicity and combine with the bubbles to form mineral-bubble complexes. These complexes float in the flotation tank to form a foam layer, while the unattached minerals settle to the bottom, allowing the effective components of the copper and gold ores to be separated and concentrated.
[0004] Since the flotation machine extracts copper and gold ores through bubbles and reagents, a certain proportion of water flow needs to be added, and both the bubble complex and the residual precipitation complex inside the flotation machine contain water, and the bubble complex still requires subsequent purification steps, and a large amount of wastewater will be generated when the copper and gold ores are refined. The minerals and added reagents will pollute water resources, and the direct discharge of the polluted wastewater will cause environmental pollution. When treating sewage, the sewage in the copper and gold refining process is usually collected and treated in a unified manner. However, when extracting copper and gold ores, the quality of the sewage generated is different, and unified treatment will increase the cost of sewage treatment, which has certain defects. Summary of the Invention

The chemical treatment is to add chemical agents for coagulation and sedimentation according to the composition of the wastewater. Chemical agents include coagulants and flocculants. Coagulants help aggregate small particles to form large particles so that Sedimentation, flocculants further promote the coagulation and sedimentation of particles, and add alkaline solutions and acidic solutions to the pH value of the sewage to adjust the pH value of the sewage to a neutral range. The biological treatment removes organic matter and soluble pollutants in the water through the metabolism of microorganisms, and uses a biofilm reactor for treatment.

[0028]
[0029] Where E is the removal rate, C i is the concentration of pollutants in the influent, C f is the concentration of pollutants in the effluent.

The first sedimentation tank 3 and the second sedimentation tank 4 are both installed on the top of the bracket 1. The first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 are installed on the bracket 1. The first discharge pipe 8 is respectively installed at the bottom of the side of the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7. One end of the first discharge pipe 8 is connected to the water storage tank 2. The first discharge pipe 8 is installed with a first electromagnetic filter. Valve, so that when the water flow in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 can be reused, the first solenoid valve is in an open state, and the water flow in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 can flow to the water storage tank 2 through the first discharge pipe 8 for reuse. When the water flow in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 cannot be reused, the second solenoid valve is in an open state, and the water flow in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 is discharged to the sewage treatment tank 9 through the second discharge pipe 10 for treatment. The sewage treatment tank 9 is installed on one side of the bracket 1, and the height of the first sedimentation tank 3 and the second sedimentation tank 4 is higher than the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7. The height of the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 is higher. In the sewage treatment tank 9, the sewage treatment tank 9 and the water storage tank 2 are at the same height, the second discharge pipe 10 is respectively installed at the bottom of the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7, the second discharge pipe 10 corresponds to the sewage treatment tank 9, the second discharge pipe 10 is installed with a second solenoid valve, the filter box 11 is respectively installed at the top of the inner cavity of the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7, the drainage assembly 5 is respectively installed on the first sedimentation tank 3 and the second sedimentation tank 4, the drainage assembly 5 includes a drain pipe 51, the drain pipe 51 is respectively installed at the bottom of one side of the first sedimentation tank 3 and the second sedimentation tank 4, one end of the drain pipe 51 is connected to the bellows 52, and one end of the bellows 52 is fixedly connected to the water inlet cover 53, the first A mounting plate 54 is fixedly connected to the sedimentation box 3 and the second sedimentation box 4, and a driving cylinder 55 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 54. The output end of the driving cylinder 55 is transmission-connected to the water inlet cover 53, so that when the solid-liquid precipitation in the first sedimentation box 3 and the second sedimentation box 4 is completed, the driving cylinder 55 can drive the water inlet cover 53 to descend, so that the floating liquid on the upper layer of the first sedimentation box 3 and the second sedimentation box 4 is discharged through the water inlet cover 53, the bellows 52 and the drain pipe 51, and the sides of the first sedimentation box 3 and the second sedimentation box 4 are provided with cylinder-driven side door panels, so that after the side door panels are opened, the sediment inside the first sedimentation box 3 and the second sedimentation box 4 can be taken out by auxiliary tools such as guide plates and scrapers.
[0049] Furthermore, when the roughing pulp and the pulp mixture in the flotation machine are subjected to water treatment in S2, the roughing pulp mixture and the pulp mixture in the flotation machine are first transported to the first sedimentation tank 3 and the second sedimentation tank 4 respectively, and a coagulant is added to the first sedimentation tank 3 and the second sedimentation tank 4, and the roughing pulp mixture in the first sedimentation tank 3 is stirred to break the bubbles in the roughing pulp mixture. After the bubbles in the first sedimentation tank 3 are broken, the roughing pulp mixture in the first sedimentation tank 3 is allowed to settle for 1-2 hours, so that the flotation pulp in the first sedimentation tank 3 is Solid-liquid precipitation and stratification are carried out, and the upper water flow in the first sedimentation tank 3 is discharged into the first treatment tank 6. A roughing precipitate is obtained in the first sedimentation tank 3 and transported to a flotation machine. Flotation reagents and water are added to the flotation machine to obtain a roughing mixture of ore pulp. After the coagulant added to the roughing precipitate is added to the flotation machine, the flotation machine stirs and breaks up the precipitate, and mixes and dilutes it with water and flotation reagents, so that the added coagulant does not affect the selection of mineral metals. The roughing mixture of ore pulp is floated again to obtain a selected foam ore pulp, thereby improving the purity of the metal material extracted from the mineral.
[0050] Furthermore, the S2 slurry mixture is transported to the second sedimentation tank 4, so that the slurry mixture is precipitated in the second sedimentation tank 4, so that the minerals and water flow are precipitated and stratified in the second sedimentation tank 4, and then the upper water flow in the second sedimentation tank 4 is discharged to the second treatment tank 7, and when the water flow in the first sedimentation tank 3 and the second sedimentation tank 4 is discharged to the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 respectively through the drain pipe 51, the filter box 11 can filter the water flow discharged from the drain pipe 51, thereby reducing the impurities in the water flow entering the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7, and the filter mesh at the bottom of the filter box 11 is 50-200 microns, which can filter medium-sized suspended solids in the water flow, and detect the content of dissolved salts, ions, heavy metal ions and organic matter in the sewage in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7. When the water flow in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 meets the requirements of mineral selection, and the pH value in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 is detected, acid and alkali solutions are added according to the pH value to filter the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7. The pH value of the water in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 is adjusted to be between 6 and 10, and the water in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 is transported to the first discharge pipe 8 and discharged into the water storage tank 2. That is, after the flotation machine is used, the content of dissolved salts, ions, heavy metal ions and organic matter in the discharged wastewater does not exceed the standard. The discharged wastewater is pH-adjusted and the particulate matter is coagulated and precipitated before it can be reused, thereby reducing the steps of wastewater treatment, reducing wastewater treatment costs, and improving water resource utilization efficiency. When the flotation machine is used, the water in the water storage tank 2 is refined with the roughing precipitate and the flotation reagent. When the water in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 does not meet the requirements for mineral selection, the water in the first treatment tank 6 and the second treatment tank 7 is discharged to the sewage treatment tank 9 through the second discharge pipe 10. That is, when the content of dissolved salts, ions, heavy metal ions and organic matter in the wastewater discharged by the flotation machine exceeds the standard and needs further treatment, the wastewater is discharged to the sewage treatment tank 9 for unified sewage treatment.
[0051] Furthermore, when the metal material in the ore pulp is recovered and extracted in S3, the selected flotation foam is first transported to the first sedimentation tank 3 again, and the ore pulp mixture in the flotation machine is transported to the second sedimentation tank 4 for sedimentation treatment again, so that the ore pulp mixture is precipitated in the first sedimentation tank 3, and the upper water flow in the first sedimentation tank 3 is discharged to the first treatment tank 6, and the precipitate in the first treatment tank 6 is filtered to remove the water in the precipitate, and the discharged water is transported to the sewage treatment tank for treatment, and the precipitate is dried to reduce the water content of the roasting, and the dried foam mineral is crushed by a ball mill, and added. The combustion-supporting agent is mixed to obtain a mixture to be roasted, and the mixture to be roasted is placed in a roasting furnace for roasting. After the roasting is completed, the material in the furnace is cooled to room temperature by natural cooling. The roasted material is taken out of the furnace. In order to improve the efficiency of roasting extraction, the molten metal material in the furnace can be directly dripped into water for cooling during cooling to form particles for subsequent processing. The roasted mineral is leached, and the target gold and copper metals are dissolved in the liquid phase using volume. The target metals are separated from the leachate by precipitation, filtration, and extraction to obtain the final pure metal product.
[0052] Furthermore, the water treatment of the slurry in S4 is the treatment of the sewage in the sewage treatment tank 9, including preliminary treatment, physical treatment, chemical treatment, biological treatment and deep treatment. The quality of the slurry water treatment is detected, including the pH value, heavy metal content, suspended matter content, dissolved salt content and organic matter content of the water, so as to ensure the quality of sewage discharge treatment, and according to the water quality detection, it can be treated according to the corresponding treatment steps to reduce the steps of sewage treatment.
[0053] In particular, the preliminary treatment is to first precipitate the wastewater, use gravity to settle large suspended particles, and add alkaline solutions and acidic solutions to the pH value of the sewage to adjust the pH value of the sewage to the neutral range. Biological treatment is to remove organic matter and soluble pollutants in the water through the metabolism of microorganisms, and use biofilm reactors for treatment. Deep treatment includes oxidation treatment and reverse osmosis treatment. Oxidation treatment uses ozone oxidation and chlorine oxidation methods to deeply treat water to remove difficult-to-degrade organic matter and heavy metal ions. Reverse osmosis membrane technology is used for deep treatment to remove dissolved ions and organic matter in the water. Reverse osmosis is the process of using pressure difference to pass water through a semipermeable membrane. The reverse osmosis membrane is a thin film with selective permeability that can allow water molecules to pass through but prevents most dissolved salts and other impurities. In the reverse osmosis process, pollutants such as salts, heavy metals, organic matter, etc. are blocked by the membrane, and the purified water is collected to form treated water.
[0054] Furthermore, the post-treatment quality inspection of wastewater in S5 is to test the water discharged after treatment, testing the pH value, heavy metal content, suspended solids content, dissolved salt content and organic matter content of the water until the water meets the discharge standards and is recycled and discharged. Resource recycling and discharge means that the treated water is reused in flotation and other production processes to reduce water resource consumption and thus improve water resource utilization efficiency. By monitoring the data before and after sewage treatment, the sewage removal rate is calculated using the following formula:
[0055]
[0056] Where E is the removal rate, C i is the concentration of pollutants in the influent, C f The pollutant removal rate is calculated by the sewage removal rate formula. Under the condition that the sewage production and discharge conditions remain unchanged, that is, the mineral flotation extraction method remains unchanged, that is, the discharge sewage pollution quality remains the same, the sewage removal rate can be calculated to obtain the quality of sewage treatment and whether the sewage treatment equipment has any faults, that is, C i The value of remains unchanged, the value of E decreases, and the value of C f If the value increases, the sewage treatment quality will decrease, and the sewage treatment equipment will need to be inspected and maintained.

The mineral flotation module is used to crush the minerals and put them into a flotation machine for flotation. During flotation, the mineral flotation module collects mineral flotation data information through an information collection sensor. The mineral flotation module corresponds to the roughing and cleaning of the minerals in steps S1 to S3.
