Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mineral processing, and more specifically, to a zinc collector for lead-zinc ore, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Zinc is an important strategic resource and plays an important role in the non-ferrous metal industry. Zinc ore generally coexists with lead and exists in the form of lead-zinc ore in nature. Zinc is usually recovered from lead-zinc ore through flotation recovery technology. At present, the commonly used flotation collectors for zinc flotation in lead-zinc ore are one or a mixture of ethyl xanthate, butylamine black medicine, butyl xanthate, etc. At the same time, these flotation collectors usually require a strong acid or strong base working environment, and the use of strong acid or strong base will bring problems such as exceeding the pH standard of ore dressing wastewater, equipment corrosion, and environmental pollution. Chinese Patent CN102806148A prepared a collector for high-sulfur copper ore that can be used in the pH range of 6-11 by using alkyl dithiophosphate thioether ester, sulfur nitride ester, propionitrile alkyl xanthate, and sulfur nitride ester. Although this patent reduces the pH value of the collector working environment and enables the collector to be used in a neutral environment, the flotation mineral object of this collector is copper, and there are great differences in the flotation effects of the same flotation collector on different mineral objects. Therefore, when this collector for high-sulfur copper ore is used for flotation recovery of zinc, the flotation effect is poor and the zinc grade is low. Therefore, it is of great value to modify the collector for high-sulfur copper ore prepared by alkyl dithiophosphate thioether ester, sulfur nitride ester, propionitrile alkyl xanthate, and sulfur nitride ester or to develop a new and efficient zinc collector to improve the flotation effect when flotation recovering zinc. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The primary object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and provide a zinc collector for lead-zinc ore. Using N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamate, alkyl dithiophosphate thioether ester, octanol, and non-polar oil as raw materials, by regulating the dosage of each raw material, especially regulating the ratio of octanol to non-polar oil, a zinc collector for lead-zinc ore is prepared to improve the flotation effect and zinc grade of zinc in the ore.

[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide a preparation method for the above-mentioned zinc collector for lead-zinc ore. This preparation method has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, short production cycle, etc., and can realize industrial large-scale production, thereby promoting the development of the zinc industry.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for flotation recovering zinc from ore using the above-mentioned zinc collector for lead-zinc ore.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for flotation recovering zinc from lead-zinc ore using the above-mentioned zinc collector for lead-zinc ore.

[0007] To achieve the above technical objects, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A zinc collector for lead-zinc ore, calculated by parts by weight, comprising:

[0009] 50-90 parts of N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate, 8-35 parts of alkyl dithiophosphate thioether, 2-6 parts of octanol, 3-12 parts of non-polar oil;

[0010] The non-polar oil comprises one or both of kerosene and diesel.

[0011] In order to improve the flotation effect of N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate (a type of sulfur nitrogen ester) and hydrocarbyl dithiophosphate thioether ester on Zn, the inventors conducted multiple experiments and prepared a zinc collector (LY) for lead-zinc ore using N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate, hydrocarbyl dithiophosphate thioether ester, octanol and non-polar oil as raw materials. By adjusting the amount of each raw material, especially the ratio of octanol to non-polar oil, the inventors improved the flotation effect and zinc grade of zinc in the ore.

[0012] Specifically, the selected octanol has a certain foaming ability, and the non-polar oil can eliminate the adsorption effect of organic carbon on the collector. More importantly, after multiple experiments, the inventors found that a specific ratio of octanol and non-polar oil can improve the flotation efficiency and zinc grade of N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate and hydrocarbyl dithiophosphate thioether esters. However, the absence of either octanol or the addition of the non-polar oil in an inappropriate ratio does not improve the flotation efficiency and zinc grade of the zinc in the ore. This may be because the specific ratio of octanol and non-polar oil causes the N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate and hydrocarbyl dithiophosphate thioether esters to strongly adsorb on the zinc surface, thereby increasing the floating velocity of Zn and further enhancing the flotation efficiency and zinc grade of the zinc in the ore.

[0013] Preferably, the lead-zinc ore zinc collector, calculated by weight, comprises:

[0014] 60-80 parts of N,N-dialkyl dithiocarbamate, 10-30 parts of alkyl dithiophosphoric acid sulfide ester, 3-5 parts of octanol, and 5-10 parts of non-polar oil.

[0016] Preferably, the octanol is one or both of primary octanol and secondary octanol.

[0017] Through multiple experiments, the inventor found that the molecular structure of octanol has an important impact on the flotation effect and zinc grade of zinc in ore by octanol and non-polar oil. Compared with bibenzyl octanol, sec-octanol has stronger activity and can better promote the adsorption of N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamate and alkyl dithiophosphate thioether ester on the surface of Zn, increase the floating speed of Zn, and enhance the flotation effect and zinc grade of zinc in ore.

[0018] A preparation method of a zinc collector for lead-zinc ore, comprising the following steps:

[0019] Mix N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamate and alkyl dithiophosphate thioether ester, add octanol and non-polar oil, and continue to mix to obtain the zinc collector (LY) for lead-zinc ore.

No reagent is added to the zinc first cleaning concentrate for the second cleaning selection of zinc to obtain zinc concentrate and zinc second cleaning tailings.

[0129] Performance test

[0130] The Zn grade and recovery rate of the zinc concentrate and zinc tailings of each example and comparative example were measured.

[0131] Table 1 Test results of each example and comparative example

[0132]

[0133] As can be seen from Table 1:

[0134] (1) By comparing Examples 7 to 11, it can be seen that the lead-zinc ore zinc collectors with different component contents in the present invention all achieve ideal zinc flotation recovery rates and zinc grades for the same lead-zinc ore.

[0135] (2) By comparing Example 7 with Examples 13 - 15, it can be seen that the zinc collector of the present invention for the same lead-zinc ore can also achieve ideal zinc flotation recovery rate and zinc grade for lead-zinc ores from different sources.

[0136] (3) By comparing Example 7 with Example 12, it can be seen that using octanols with different molecular structures will result in different zinc flotation recovery rates and zinc grades. Using secondary octanol can obtain the highest zinc flotation recovery rate and zinc grade.

[0137] (4) By comparing Example 7 with Comparative Examples 6 - 9, it can be seen that not using octanol (secondary octanol) or non-polar oil (0# diesel), as well as adding an excessive amount of octanol (secondary octanol) or non-polar oil (0# diesel) cannot achieve ideal zinc flotation recovery rate and zinc grade. That is, lacking any one of them or adding octanol and non-polar oil in an inappropriate proportion cannot improve the flotation effect and zinc grade of zinc in the ore.

[0138] (5) By comparing Example 7 with Comparative Example 10, it can be seen that compared with the collector for high-sulfur copper ore in Chinese Patent CN102806148A, the zinc collector for lead-zinc ore of the present application has a higher zinc flotation recovery rate and zinc grade.

[0139] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
