Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of iron ore dressing technology, and specifically relates to a separation process of maghemitic mixed ore with separation grinding and combination selection-suspension roasting-regrinding and magnetic separation. Background Art

[0002] At present, the main separation process for Anshan-type hematite ore adopts stage grinding, coarse and fine separation, gravity separation-strong magnetic-anion reverse flotation process. The raw ore is crushed to a particle size of 12-0mm by coarse crushing, medium crushing and fine crushing screening systems, and is fed into a closed-circuit grinding system composed of an overflow ball mill and a cyclone group. The primary overflow is fed into an involute cyclone group to be graded into coarse and fine materials. The coarse and fine classification cyclone sedimentation is fed into a three-stage spiral chute for roughing, fine selection and scavenging to obtain gravity separation concentrate. The scavenging snail tailings are fed into permanent magnets and scavenging medium magnets to obtain gravity separation tailings. The refined snail tailings, scavenging snail concentrate, permanent magnet concentrate and scavenging medium magnetic concentrate are fed into a secondary grinding-classification system together, and the overflow returns to the coarse and fine classification operation. The overflow of the coarse and fine cyclone is fed to the permanent magnet operation, and the permanent magnet tailings are fed to the thickener for concentration. The bottom flow is fed to the strong magnetic machine through a slag removal screen, and the strong magnetic tailings are discarded; the permanent magnetic concentrate and the strong magnetic concentrate are combined and fed to the thickener for concentration, and the bottom flow of the thickener is fed to the flotation operation compressor, and the bottom flow is fed to the flotation operation. After a roughing operation, a concentrating operation, and three scavenging operations, the flotation concentrate is obtained, and the flotation tailings are discarded. The first scavenging concentrate and the concentrating tailings are returned to the roughing operation, and the gravity concentrate and the flotation concentrate are combined to become the final concentrate, with a grade of more than 67%. The traditional hematite beneficiation process is shown in Figure 1 .

[0003] Production practice shows that the traditional process of "stage grinding, coarse and fine separation, gravity separation-strong magnetic separation-anion reverse flotation" for hematite has the following problems: First, the properties of the ore coming from the mine have changed greatly in recent years, and the mine cannot strictly implement the ore blending system. The grade of the raw ore fluctuates greatly, and the production of the ore dressing plant is very passive. In order to cope with this change, the raw ore with a grade of 26%-30% is called normal ore, and the raw ore with a grade of 20%-23% is called extremely lean ore. By changing the ore dressing process parameters, we try our best to keep the production normal. However, the traditional process flow fluctuates greatly when processing the concentrate indicators of these two types of raw ores, and production is often unsatisfactory. Stable; in addition, in addition to the frequent phenomenon of ore grade depletion, the magnetic ore content of the ore has increased significantly, and the ferrous iron content of the ore has increased from 1-3.35% in the early stage of production to 6.5-7.54%. In some periods, the magnetic ore content even reached 80%. Therefore, the process of using weak magnetic separation to select concentrate is more suitable for the needs of future changes in ore properties; second, the traditional separation process includes three main processes: gravity, magnetic, and flotation. The process is long and complicated, difficult to control, and also causes unstable production technical indicators; third, the yield of gravity separation concentrate is low (between 8% and 9%), and its grade is also low (between 66% and 66.5%), and the large circulation of intermediate ore causes each operation to affect each other.

[0004] In order to solve a series of problems such as large changes in ore properties, frequent depletion of original ore grade, unsatisfactory ore blending effect in the mine, large fluctuations in production indicators of the beneficiation plant, and long and complicated beneficiation process, beneficiation researchers have done a lot of exploration on the separate grinding and combined selection - suspension roasting - regrinding magnetic separation process technology of red magnetic mixed ore, and have made a series of technological advances in separation technology, research and development of new beneficiation equipment, and research and development of suspension roasting technology. High-efficiency and energy-saving grinding and selection equipment such as vertical stirred mills and high-efficiency magnetic separators have been successively applied to major mines, and great progress has been made.

[0005] The two invention patents with patent numbers CN201510320314.4 and CN201510320813.3 introduce the coarse-grained preselection, magnetic-gravity separation process and the coarse-grained preselection, magnetic-flotation separation process to separate fine-grained mixed ore. They are characterized by using the "semi-autogenous grinding, wet preselection, continuous grinding, weak magnetic-strong magnetic, fine screen re-grinding, strong magnetic fine gravity separation" operating system and the "semi-autogenous grinding, wet preselection, continuous grinding, weak magnetic-strong magnetic, fine screen re-grinding, strong magnetic fine reverse flotation" operating system to separate fine-grained mixed ore. Both invention patents use two-stage grinding-fine screen re-grinding operations. The outstanding problem in production is that the screen surface is easily blocked and worn, resulting in low screening efficiency, large circulating load, and serious over-grinding, which affects both the mill processing capacity and the separation index. The invention patent with the patent number CN201810729014.5 introduces a magnetite high-pressure roller mill-wet pre-selection-stage grinding-tower mill magnetic separation process, which is characterized by feeding the high-pressure roller mill-screening operation product into the pre-magnetic operation, a closed-circuit grinding operation, a two-stage closed-circuit grinding operation consisting of a secondary cyclone classification and a two-stage tower mill, and a continuous three-stage magnetic separation operation to obtain a final concentrate with a grade of more than 67% and a comprehensive tailings with a grade of 8.5%-9.5%. This process belongs to the full magnetic process and is suitable for selecting high-grade magnetite, but when the mine is low-grade magnetic hematite, since this invention patent can only select magnetic ore, it will cause a large amount of hematite loss, which is not conducive to the recycling of lean iron ore resources. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the problem that the existing technology is difficult to adapt to the coordinated processing of normal ores and extremely lean ores, and there are problems with the long, complex and difficult to control mineral processing process, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a magnetic separation process of hematite mixed ore, which includes grinding and combining, suspension roasting and regrinding.

[0007] The objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The invention discloses a separation and selection-suspension roasting-regrinding magnetic separation process for mixed maghemitic ore, characterized in that the mixed maghemitic ore is divided into normal ore and extremely lean ore according to the grade of the raw ore from the mine, wherein the grade of the normal ore is 25%-30% and the particle size is 12-0 mm, and the grade of the extremely lean ore is 20%-25% and the particle size is 250-0 mm, and then the two ores are fed into the separation and selection-suspension roasting-regrinding magnetic separation process of the invention for subsequent grinding and separation treatment, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: feed the normal ore into a closed-circuit grinding and classification operation to obtain a first-classification overflow product, feed the first-classification overflow product into a weak magnetic and a strong magnetic operation, discard the strong magnetic tailings, combine the weak magnetic concentrate and the strong magnetic concentrate, and feed them into a secondary closed-circuit grinding and classification operation to obtain a secondary classification overflow product;

[0010] Step 2: Feed the extremely lean ore into a closed-circuit semi-autogenous grinding operation to obtain a linear screen undersize product, feed the undersize product into a coarse-grained weak magnetic and coarse-grained strong magnetic operation, discard the coarse-grained strong magnetic tailings, combine the coarse-grained weak magnetic concentrate and the coarse-grained strong magnetic concentrate, and feed them into a two-stage continuous grinding and classification operation to obtain a two-stage classification overflow product;

[0011] Step 3, combining the secondary classification overflow product and the second stage classification overflow product obtained in step 1 and step 2 into a combined feed;

[0012] Step 4, feed the combined feed into the second-stage weak magnetic operation for selection to obtain the second-stage weak magnetic concentrate and the second-stage weak magnetic tailings, feed the second-stage weak magnetic tailings into the second-stage strong magnetic operation for selection, discard the second-stage strong magnetic tailings, feed the second-stage strong magnetic concentrate into the suspended roasting operation, feed the roasting product into the open-circuit tower mill regrinding operation, feed the tower mill regrinding product into the third-stage weak magnetic operation for selection, discard the third-stage weak magnetic tailings, combine the third-stage weak magnetic concentrate with the second-stage weak magnetic concentrate and feed them into two consecutive fourth-stage weak magnetic and fifth-stage weak magnetic selections, discard the fourth-stage weak magnetic tailings and the fifth-stage weak magnetic tailings, and the fifth-stage weak magnetic concentrate is the final concentrate, and the final concentrate grade reaches more than 67.5%, and the final tailings are composed of the first-stage strong magnetic tailings, coarse-grained strong magnetic tailings, the second-stage strong magnetic tailings, the third-stage weak magnetic tailings, the fourth-stage weak magnetic tailings and the fifth-stage weak magnetic tailings, and the final tailings grade is less than 9.5%.

[0013] The closed-circuit semi-autogenous grinding operation is composed of a semi-autogenous grinding machine and a linear screen.

[0014] The grinding equipment used in the secondary closed-circuit grinding and classification operation is a tower mill.

[0015] The magnetic separator used in the four-stage weak magnetic separation is an elutriator.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0017] 1) The present invention can adapt to the change of the properties of the raw ore, realize the coordinated ore matching of normal ore (grade of 25%-30%) and extremely lean ore (grade of 20%-25%) in the ore dressing plant, and ensure the normal and stable production of the ore dressing process; the main process can process 8 million tons of normal ore per year, and the added "semi-autogenous grinding-coarse particle pre-selection" process system can process extremely lean ore per year up to 4.5 million tons per year, meeting the ore dressing plant's 12.5 million tons per year ore processing capacity, and it is expected to increase the iron concentrate with a grade of more than 67.5% by more than 1 million tons, thereby improving the resource utilization rate of iron ore;

[0018] 2) The present invention eliminates the gravity separation process and the flotation process, adds the magnetization roasting process, adopts the tower mill and the high-efficiency magnetic separator, and adopts the full magnetic process flow, thereby simplifying and optimizing the process flow and achieving the effects of fine grinding and selection, reducing costs and stabilizing production;

[0019] 3) The present invention is characterized in that the main process ball mill system and the semi-autogenous grinding-pre-selection supplementary system are relatively independent, which is convenient for production organization and operation management. When it comes to separation operation, the two ores are combined to achieve the effect of "separate grinding and combined separation", realizing the full magnetic separation of normal ore and extremely lean ore of maghemitic mixed ore, and opening up a new way for the efficient separation of maghemitic mixed ore.
