Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of copper-molybdenum ore dressing and separation, and in particular relates to a ore dressing method for the tiered separation of copper-molybdenum mixed concentrates. Background Art

[0002] Porphyry copper deposits are associated with abundant low-grade molybdenum resources. Molybdenite is the main carrier mineral of molybdenum. Molybdenum is usually enriched in copper concentrate by mixed flotation process to obtain copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, and then the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate is separated. Molybdenum concentrate and copper concentrate are usually produced by the method of suppressing copper sulfide minerals to flotate molybdenite.

[0003] Sodium sulfide or sodium hydrosulfide is usually added as an effective copper inhibitor when separating copper and molybdenum from mixed copper and molybdenum concentrate to obtain molybdenum crude concentrate and copper concentrate. The main problems in the use of sodium sulfide or sodium hydrosulfide are as follows: sodium sulfide or sodium hydrosulfide is easily oxidized by oxygen dissolved in water, resulting in a large amount of reagents. 2- When it enters the solution, it will inhibit the floating of copper in the copper-molybdenum mixed float process, and at the same time a large amount of OH will be generated in the aqueous solution. - , strong alkalinity will also deteriorate the beneficiation indicators of molybdenum; the use of a large amount of flotation agents, their strong reducing properties will cause the COD content in the alkaline water of copper concentrate and molybdenum concentrate to be high, which can reach 2000-4000 mg / L, which has a great impact on the environment and high treatment costs, bringing great technical difficulties to industrial water treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the technical problems of high difficulty in separating copper and molybdenum from copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, large dosage of sodium sulfide used, and high COD content of alkaline aqueous solution, the present invention provides a beneficiation method for tiered separation of copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions proposed by the present invention are as follows:

[0006] The present invention provides a beneficiation method for the cascade separation of copper-molybdenum mixed concentrates, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Add the acidic solution to the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate slurry, adjust the pH to 6-6.9, add the de-agent, stir evenly and then perform flotation to obtain mineralized foam A.

[0008] S2. Performing strong magnetic separation on the mineralized foam A obtained in step S1 to obtain non-magnetic pulp C.

[0009] S3. Concentrate the non-magnetic slurry C obtained in step S2 to obtain overflow water and underflow.

[0010] S4, the underflow obtained in step S3 is subjected to molybdenum flotation and copper suppression treatment to obtain molybdenum concentrate and copper concentrate.

[0011] The present invention first removes the drug from the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, and then performs flotation to obtain mineralized foam A and pulp B, thereby achieving the preliminary separation of the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, wherein the mineralized foam A is a higher-grade copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, and the pulp B is a low-grade copper middling, and then the mineralized foam A is subjected to strong magnetic separation to obtain non-magnetic pulp C and magnetic pulp D, thereby achieving the separation of the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate again, wherein the non-magnetic pulp C is a higher-grade molybdenum mixed concentrate, and the magnetic pulp D is a low-molybdenum copper concentrate, and finally the non-magnetic pulp C is concentrated and subjected to floating molybdenum and copper suppression treatment to obtain molybdenum concentrate and copper concentrate. The amount of non-magnetic pulp C obtained in the present invention is greatly reduced compared to the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate. At this time, when an inhibitor is added to perform floating molybdenum and copper suppression treatment, the amount of the inhibitor used can be greatly reduced, further avoiding the problems of poor beneficiation indicators and high COD values ​​in the wastewater subsequently generated.

[0012] In the present invention, the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate (pH is about 11) is neutralized with an acidic solution to neutralize the alkalinity of the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, and a subsequent separation process is carried out under weakly acidic conditions (pH is 6 to 6.9), which is conducive to the role of the deagent and can reduce the content of COD in the subsequent output wastewater. The effect of adding a deagent is to oxidize and decompose the collector in the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate and the collector on the surface of the copper sulfide mineral, destroy the molecular structure of the residual agent, complete the deagent, increase the floatability difference between the naturally hydrophobic molybdenite and chalcopyrite in the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, and then obtain a higher-grade copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, achieve the purpose of preliminary sorting, and then further separate according to the magnetic difference of the two main minerals in the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, chalcopyrite and molybdenite, to obtain a higher-grade molybdenum mixed concentrate and a low-molybdenum copper concentrate. The higher-grade molybdenum mixed concentrate obtained is mainly non-magnetic molybdenite, which is prepared for the next step of floating molybdenum to suppress copper, achieves the purpose of the next step of sorting reduction, and reduces the use of inhibitors.

[0013] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, in step S1, the solid matter content in the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate slurry is 15-20%, the copper grade is 22-25%, the molybdenum grade is 0.3-1.0%, and the pH value is 11-13.

[0014] The copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate slurry in the present invention is a copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate slurry obtained by enriching molybdenum in copper concentrate through a mixed flotation process of copper ore.

[0015] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, in step S1, the acid solution is acidic wastewater obtained after copper precipitation in the mine, and the pH value of the acidic wastewater is 2.0-3.0; the acidic wastewater obtained after copper precipitation in the mine is acidic wastewater containing iron ions generated during the copper mining and dressing process, and the acidic wastewater is acidic wastewater after copper ions are extracted.

[0016] The acidic wastewater obtained after copper precipitation in the mine of the present invention is acidic wastewater containing iron ions produced in the mining and waste rock field during the copper mining and dressing process due to the action of air, water and microorganisms. This type of wastewater has a large water volume, a low pH value and contains a high concentration of sulfate. Such wastewater must be discharged with lime to adjust the pH value to meet the standard, which will increase production costs. If it is directly discharged, it will cause huge damage to the environment. If it accumulates in abandoned mines for a long time, it will cause heavy metal ions to penetrate deep into the soil and pollute surrounding water sources. Once heavy metal ions are taken up by organisms through water sources, they will accumulate in the human body and cause various diseases. The acidic wastewater obtained after copper precipitation in the mine of the present invention is acidic wastewater from which copper ions have been extracted. Other ions do not affect flotation. Therefore, the present invention provides a suitable method for treating acidic wastewater generated after copper precipitation in the mine, which solves the problem of treating acidic wastewater in some mines. At the same time, it can also be applied to the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate slurry obtained after the copper mine adopts the mixed flotation process, realizing on-site application.

[0017] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, in step S1, the de-agent includes ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide.

[0018] In the present invention, ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide are selected as the de-acidification agents, which are used to remove the 2+ Under the catalytic action of ions, hydrogen peroxide can generate two very active hydroxyl free radicals, which oxidize the collector in the ore pulp and the collector on the surface of the copper sulfide mineral, destroying the structural molecules of the agent and making it ineffective, thereby achieving the purpose of removing residual agents.

[0019] At the same time, when the acidic wastewater obtained after copper precipitation in mines is used as an acidic solution to adjust pH, the hydrogen peroxide and Fe 3+ Ion reaction produces Fe 2+ ions, Fe 2+ The ions act as catalysts to promote the de-drugation process of hydrogen peroxide.

[0020] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, the de-agent further includes an auxiliary agent, and the auxiliary agent is potassium permanganate or activated carbon.

[0021] In this invention, in addition to ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide as flotation agents, permanganate or activated carbon is added to oxidize and adsorb the agent molecules, further disrupting their structure. This facilitates the removal of flotation agents from the surfaces of sulfide minerals in the mixed concentrate and from the slurry phase, restoring the natural floatability of the sulfide minerals. The natural floatability difference between molybdenite and copper sulfide ores is then utilized to achieve preliminary separation of the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate.

[0022] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, the mass ratio of ferrous sulfate to hydrogen peroxide is (0.1-1): (1-10).

[0023] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, the mass ratio of ferrous sulfate, hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate is (0.1-1): (1-10): (0.1-1).

[0024] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, the mass ratio of ferrous sulfate, hydrogen peroxide and activated carbon is (0.1-1): (1-10): (0.1-1).

[0025] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, in step S1, 300 to 3000 g of de-agent is added to each ton of dry ore of the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, and the de-agent time is 10 to 30 minutes.

[0026] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, in step S2, the magnetic field strength of the strong magnetic separation is 0.85 to 1.75 Tesla, and the flow rate of the mineralized foam A in the magnetic separator is 1.0 to 6.0 cm / s.

[0027] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, in step S4, during the molybdenum flotation and copper suppression treatment, 5 to 10 kg of inhibitor is added to the dry ore amount of each ton of copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate.

[0028] In the present invention, after the two separation steps of drug removal flotation and high-intensity magnetic separation, the non-magnetic slurry C, i.e., the higher-grade molybdenum mixed concentrate, is obtained. At this time, when the non-magnetic slurry C is subjected to molybdenum flotation and copper suppression treatment, the amount of copper suppression agent can be greatly reduced due to the reduction in amount after drug removal and magnetic separation. Only 5 to 20 kg of inhibitor can be added to each ton of higher-grade molybdenum mixed concentrate.

[0029] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, slurry B is also produced in step S1, and the slurry B is returned to step S1 to continue to prepare the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate.

[0030] In the present invention, in the weakly acidic slurry system, after the drug removal, the collector on the mineral surface loses its effect, and some ore slimes and poor intergrowths originally attached to the mineral surface have poor floatability. After preliminary drug removal and flotation, they are used as slurry B, that is, low-grade copper middlings are returned to the copper-molybdenum mixed selection process, which can ensure that the copper and molybdenum metals are not lost, and the purpose of separating the ore slimes and poor intergrowths and other minerals after preliminary separation is achieved, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the grade of the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate.

[0031] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, magnetic pulp D is also produced in step S2, and the magnetic pulp D is mixed with the copper concentrate obtained in step S4 as the final copper concentrate.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, in the mineral processing method provided by the present invention, the overflow water obtained in step S3 is recovered for backwater in front of the plant. In the present invention, the traditional backwater of domestic mineral processing plants refers to the overflow water concentrated in front of the plant by flotation tailings or the centralized backwater of the tailings pond.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] (1) The present invention first neutralizes the acid solution with the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate pulp, adjusts the pulp pH value to be weakly acidic, and then removes the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate to increase the floatability difference between molybdenite and chalcopyrite, thereby achieving preliminary separation of the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, removing some low-grade copper middlings, and obtaining a higher-grade copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate. Then, based on the difference in relative magnetic susceptibility between molybdenite and chalcopyrite, the non-magnetic molybdenite is selectively enriched to achieve further separation and produce a higher-grade molybdenum mixed concentrate, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the amount in the next sorting process. When entering the next step of floating molybdenum and suppressing copper, the amount of inhibitor used is greatly reduced, and the COD value of the wastewater obtained after mineral processing is further reduced, which can reduce the cost of wastewater treatment in the later stage.

[0035] (2) The present invention makes full use of the natural hydrophobicity and non-magnetic characteristics of molybdenite to carry out a tiered separation method, which has the characteristics of strong targeting, high selectivity, high recovery rate and low cost. It requires the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate to be selected to have a low grade and has strong applicability. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
