Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ore-dressing reagent, in particular to a copper-lead sulfide ore flotation separation inhibitor, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Copper and lead are important non-ferrous metals, which are widely used in military industry, hard alloy manufacturing, modern communication technology, electronic computer, aerospace, nuclear radiation protection and other fields due to their physical and chemical properties. China has abundant copper and lead mineral resources. However, with the development of economy and technology in China, the demand and consumption of copper and lead have greatly increased. The extension and in-depth development of copper and lead mineral resources are easy to deplete the rich ore resources which are easy to separate. At present, the developed copper and lead mineral resources are mainly low-grade copper-lead sulfide ores which are difficult to separate. Therefore, it is increasingly important to realize the efficient development and utilization of such copper and lead resources.

[0003] At present, the method of froth flotation is mainly used in industry to recover chalcopyrite and galena. For a long time, the separation of chalcopyrite and galena has been a difficulty in the process of ore dressing and recovery. Because the surfaces of these two minerals have similar physical and chemical properties, resulting in similar floatability. At the same time, the minerals are closely intergrown, the embedded particle size is fine, and the mineral composition is complex, which makes it difficult to separate the two minerals, causing great influence on the ore dressing and recovery of chalcopyrite and galena.

[0004] Therefore, in the process of copper-lead separation, an inhibitor needs to be added to change the surface floatability of the two minerals and strengthen the flotation separation effect of the two minerals. At present, the most widely used and effective inhibitor in actual production is toxic inhibitors such as potassium dichromate and cyanide, which is not conducive to environmental safety. In the actual copper-lead separation flotation system, the galena is usually inhibited, and the commonly used inhibitor is potassium dichromate. To achieve effective inhibition of galena, the galena needs to be oxidized and pretreated in the flotation process to achieve the inhibition of galena. However, due to the need for oxidation pretreatment, the treatment capacity is reduced, which is not conducive to the expansion of production scale. And the use of dichromate also easily pollutes the water environment, increasing the cost of wastewater treatment. In order to reduce the amount of potassium dichromate, inorganic salts such as sodium persulfate and sulfite can be used together to inhibit the floatability of galena and strengthen its inhibition effect, thereby improving the ore dressing and recovery effect and improving the selectivity of the flotation process. In addition, macromolecular organic inhibitors such as gum and chitosan can also be used to inhibit galena. Although these inhibitors have the advantages of green, environmental protection and biodegradation, their solubility, dosage and production cost are poor, which hinders their large-scale industrial application.

[0005] Therefore, seeking a good environmental protection, strong inhibition, good selectivity of copper and lead separation inhibitor is the urgent demand of mine enterprises at present, and it has important significance for improving the utilization level of copper and lead resources in China. SUMMARY

The inhibitor can effectively reduce the content of lead in the concentrate product while ensuring the copper recovery rate in the copper and lead flotation separation process, so that the quality of copper concentrate product is significantly improved, and has the advantages of good separation effect, small environmental pollution, etc. and can be widely applied to the flotation process.

[0014] (3) the copper-lead mixed floating tailings are subjected to two times of scavenging, collector Z-200 and frother No. 2 oil are added, the addition amount of the collector Z-200 in each time of copper-lead scavenging is 0.1-0.5 times of the copper-lead mixed floating roughing, the addition amount of the frother No. 2 oil is 0.1-0.5 times of the copper-lead mixed floating roughing, and the scavenging tailings are the mixed floating tailings;

[0015] (4) the copper-lead mixed concentrate in step (2) is added with activated carbon and sodium sulfide and stirred for 10-15 minutes to remove the residual reagents on the surface of the minerals, then a copper-lead separation inhibitor is added, and after stirring for 5-15 minutes, collector Z-200 and frother No. 2 oil are sequentially added to perform a copper-lead separation floating operation, and a copper rough concentrate and a lead rough concentrate are obtained through roughing;

[0016] (5) the copper rough concentrate obtained in step (4) is subjected to three times of cleaning, and only the copper-lead separation inhibitor is added in each time of cleaning, and the addition amount of the copper-lead separation inhibitor in each time of cleaning is 0.2-0.8 times of the roughing in step (4);

[0017] (6) the lead rough concentrate obtained in step (4) is subjected to two times of scavenging, collector Z-200 and frother No. 2 oil are added, the addition amount of the collector Z-200 in each time of scavenging is 0.1-0.6 times of the roughing in step (4), the addition amount of the frother No. 2 oil is 0.1-0.8 times of the roughing in step (4), and the scavenging tailings are the lead concentrate;

[0018] (7) the middlings in step (5) and step (6) are returned to the previous stage in turn to form a closed circuit.

[0019] In step (2), the zinc sulfate is used in an amount of 800-1300 g / t, the calcium oxide is used in an amount of 500-2000 g / t, the collector Z-200 is used in an amount of 50-100 g / t, and the frother No. 2 oil is used in an amount of 5-30 g / t.

Compared with the prior art, the main component of the copper-lead separation inhibitor in the application is the maleic acid-acrylic acid copolymer, and the content is 65% to 75%. The secondary component is trisodium nitrilotriacetate, and the content is 10% to 20%. Both of them are chelating agents and scale inhibitors, rich in carboxyl structure, and have strong ability to complex lead ions, which can achieve strong inhibition of galena, and the inhibiting performance is stronger than that of potassium dichromate. In addition, the surface of chalcopyrite is mainly composed of copper and sulfur ions, and the radius of sulfur ions is much larger than that of copper ions. Due to the electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance effect, the combined inhibitor basically does not act on the surface of chalcopyrite, and does not inhibit chalcopyrite, and the selectivity is much better than that of potassium dichromate. Therefore, compared with the traditional copper-lead separation inhibitor, the present inhibitor has the excellent performances of strong inhibiting effect and good selectivity. At the same time, it is non-toxic, has good water solubility, and is cheap and easy to obtain. It not only has high safety in production and application, but also does not pollute the environment, and fully meets the requirements of industrial production. Therefore, compared with the traditional copper-lead separation inhibitor, the present inhibitor has the significant advantages of being cheap and easy to obtain, easy to store, non-toxic and harmless.

The amount of collector Z-200 added in each scavenging process is 0.1 to 0.6 times that in the roughing process in step (4), and the amount of frother No. 2 oil added is 0.1 to 0.8 times that in the roughing process in step (4). The tailings from the scavenging process are the lead concentrate. (7) The middlings selected in step (5) and the middlings selected in step (6) are returned to the previous level in sequence to form a closed loop; In step (2), the amount of zinc sulfate used is 800-1300 g / t, the amount of calcium oxide used is 500-2000 g / t, the amount of collector Z-200 used is 50-100 g / t, and the amount of foaming agent No. 2 oil used is 5-30 g / t. In step (4), the amount of activated carbon used is 500-1500 g / t, the amount of sodium sulfide used is 400-1000 g / t, the amount of copper-lead separation inhibitor used is 500-1500 g / t, the amount of collector Z-200 used is 50-100 g / t, and the amount of foaming agent No. 2 oil used is 10-60 g / t.
