Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral processing, and in particular relates to a method for comprehensively recovering tantalum, niobium and lithium from lithium-containing mineral processing waste slag. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-containing porcelain clay is one of the main lithium-containing minerals found in the earth's crust. In this ore, lithium mica is closely associated with minerals such as feldspar and quartz, and is accompanied by tantalum-niobium minerals. In the ore dressing process, gravity separation is usually used to recover tantalum-niobium minerals, and then flotation is used to recover lithium mica. For lithium mica flotation tailings, strong magnetic separation is used to remove ferromagnetic impurities to obtain ceramic raw materials with feldspar and quartz as the main components. The removed ferromagnetic impurities not only contain high lithium, but also some tantalum-niobium minerals are lost in them, resulting in serious losses of tantalum, niobium and lithium. According to statistics, the yield of this type of lithium-containing ore dressing waste is as high as 7-10%, of which the loss rate of tantalum, niobium and lithium is 8-15%, which seriously affects the efficient development and comprehensive utilization of lithium-containing porcelain clay.

[0003] The tantalum-niobium minerals in the lithium-containing ore dressing waste are finely embedded and have low monomer dissociation degree, so the direct re-selection recovery effect is poor; the lepidolite mineral flakes are large in diameter, and are easy to sink in the trough during direct flotation, and are easy to become muddy after grinding and re-selection, which affects the recovery of lepidolite; in addition, a large amount of ferromagnetic impurities and their dissolved metal ions in the ore dressing waste are easily adsorbed and covered on the surface of lepidolite, feldspar, quartz and other minerals, resulting in poor selectivity of the collector during the flotation process, making it difficult to separate the minerals from each other. At present, this type of lithium-containing ore dressing waste is usually directly disposed of as solid waste, which not only causes a waste of resources, but also the abandoned tailings will pollute the environment and have serious safety impacts.

[0004] At present, the mineral processing field generally focuses on the mineral processing and recovery of lithium mica ore, while there is very little research on the resource utilization of lithium-containing mineral processing waste residues. In order to solve the problem of the reuse of lithium mica, tantalum and niobium and other minerals in such waste residues, it is urgent to develop a low-cost, high-efficiency, pollution-free and highly adaptable mineral processing method to improve the comprehensive utilization level of such waste residues and solve the key technical bottleneck problems in the field of lithium-containing porcelain clay ore processing. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a beneficiation method for comprehensively recovering tantalum, niobium and lithium from magnetic separation waste slag of porcelain clay (containing lithium) ore with low cost, good separation effect, high separation index, good stability and strong adaptability, aiming to solve the problem of resource utilization of magnetic separation waste slag under the existing technology.

[0006] The present invention is achieved by a method for comprehensively recovering tantalum, niobium and lithium from lithium-containing porcelain clay ore dressing waste residue, comprising the following steps:

[0014] (8) The flotation tailings I obtained in step (7) are scavenged twice to obtain flotation tailings and two scavenged tailings, and the two scavenged tailings are returned to the previous layer in sequence; wherein the process conditions for scavenging the flotation tailings I twice are as follows: scavenging I adds a dispersant YF2-1 of 150-400 g / t, the operation time is 3-5 min, and then adds a collector YP-02 of 100-250 g / t, the action time is 2-3 min, and scavenging II adds a collector YP-02 of 50-150 g / t, the action time is 2-3 min;

[0015] (9) The lithium mica rough concentrate obtained in step (8) is beneficiated twice to obtain lithium mica concentrate II and two beneficiated intermediates, and the two scanned intermediates are sequentially returned to the previous layer operation; wherein the process conditions for beneficiating the lithium mica rough concentrate twice are: adding 100-400 g / t of dispersant YF2-1 to beneficiation I, and the operation time is 3-5 min, and adding 50-250 g / t of dispersant YF2-1 to beneficiation II, and the operation time is 3-5 min;

[0016] Preferably, in step (1), the grinding fineness is -0.15 mm and the content accounts for 65-90%.

[0017] Preferably, in step (2), the ore pulp concentration of the high-frequency vibrating screen classification operation is 15-20%, and the classification particle size is 0.074-0.30 mm.

[0021] The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a method for comprehensively recovering tantalum, niobium and lithium from lithium-containing ore dressing waste slag. The specific steps are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it has the following technical features:

[0022] (1) The present invention pre-grinds the lithium-containing ore dressing waste slag to improve the monomer dissociation effect of tantalum, niobium and lithium minerals. The difference in grindability between lithium mica and main gangue minerals such as feldspar and quartz is utilized to creatively adopt high-frequency vibrating screen to recover large-diameter lithium mica to obtain high-purity lithium mica concentrate I, thereby avoiding the problem that large-diameter lithium mica is difficult to adhere to foam and settle in the tank during flotation operation. At the same time, the regrinding cost of the waste slag is greatly reduced, and the problem of over-crushing of fine-grained tantalum and niobium in the grinding process and the problem that gangue minerals are easy to be muddied are solved, thereby creating good conditions for the re-selection recovery of tantalum and niobium minerals and the flotation separation of fine-grained lithium mica and gangue minerals; the problem of re-recovery of tantalum and niobium minerals with poor monomer dissociation in the waste slag is solved through grinding and re-selection operations, the recovery of fine-grained tantalum and niobium minerals is strengthened by using a spreading chute to sweep and select, and the fine mud is cleverly removed by using the water flow action of the re-selection operation, thereby creating a good slurry environment for the flotation separation of lithium mica.

[0023] (2) The present invention uses YF2-1 as a dispersant, and uses the sodium hexametaphosphate and poly (sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) components in the agent to adjust the mineral surface potential, thereby improving the slurry dispersion effect; the carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar gum component in the agent is used to selectively complex and adsorb ferromagnetic impurities and metal ions in the slurry, thereby solving the problem of reduced surface property differences between lithium mica and gangue minerals due to surface pollution. YP-02 is used as a collector, and the carboxyl group in the cotton oil soap in the agent and the silicon group in dodecyl dimethyl [3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl] ammonium chloride are used to specifically adsorb on the surface of lithium mica, and the hydrogen bonding between the amino group and the cotton oil soap is used to form multilayer adsorption, and the isomeric C13 ether amine component is used to improve the overall dispersibility of the collector in the slurry, and the synergistic effect of the anion and cationic collectors is exerted to achieve high-selective capture of lithium mica, thereby solving the problem of flotation separation of lithium mica and gangue in a metal-contaminated environment. The dispersants YF2-1 and YP-02 used in the present invention are developed through a large number of quantum chemical calculations, reagent adsorption tests and flotation tests. The reagent components and proportions thereof have not been disclosed and are not easily conceivable in the art.

[0024] (3) In view of the problems that large pieces of lithium mica in lithium-containing mineral processing waste are easy to settle in the flotation process, the dissociation degree of tantalum-niobium mineral monomers is poor and difficult to recover, and ferromagnetic impurities and dissolved metal ions contaminate the surface of lithium mica and gangue minerals, making flotation separation difficult, the present invention adopts the process flow of "coarse-grained lithium mica screening recovery-tantalum-niobium gravity recovery-fine mud lithium mica flotation recovery" and high-efficiency flotation reagents, which realize the efficient comprehensive recovery of tantalum, niobium and lithium, and improve the comprehensive utilization level of lithium-containing mineral processing waste. This creative idea, process flow structure and complete set of technology as a whole for the resource utilization and re-processing of lithium-containing solid waste have not been disclosed and are not easy to think of. It is a new mineral processing method with low cost, high efficiency, no pollution and strong adaptability.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0026] ① The present invention solves the problem that large-diameter lepidolite is easy to sink in the flotation process, and in order to achieve a suitable particle size for selection, the grinding product is severely muddied, and a large amount of fine lepidolite produced is lost again with the fine mud. Through graded recovery, the lepidolite recovery effect is improved and the energy consumption of mineral processing is reduced.

[0027] ② The present invention solves the problem of flotation separation of lepidolite and gangue in a metal-contaminated environment on the surface of minerals, and improves the separation efficiency of lepidolite.

[0028] ③ The present invention solves the problem that valuable minerals in lithium-containing ore dressing waste are difficult to recover, achieves waste reduction and resource utilization, and improves the comprehensive utilization rate of resources. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
