[0002] Copper and molybdenum are important non-ferrous metals, which are widely used in fields such as machinery, medicine, and chemical industry. Deposits with copper as the main component and molybdenum as an associated element are the main sources of copper and molybdenum metals. Copper-molybdenum deposits generally have low grades and are difficult to beneficiate and separate. Especially when copper minerals in the deposit are oxidized due to geological reasons, due to reasons such as high slime content, large differences in mineral floatability, activation of copper sulfide minerals, and difficulty in inhibiting some copper oxide minerals, it is difficult to separate copper and molybdenum in ore dressing, the beneficiation indexes are poor, the economic benefits are low, and they are often stockpiled for treatment, resulting in waste of resources. Therefore, it is very necessary and significant to study how to effectively recover valuable metals in copper oxide-molybdenum ore and develop an efficient recovery method for such ores. Summary of the Invention
