Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a galvanic corrosion experimental device and an experimental method for grinding media and sulfide ore, and belongs to the technical field of galvanic corrosion experiments for grinding media and sulfide ore. Background Art

[0002] Galvanic corrosion in the field of grinding research refers to the galvanic corrosion that occurs when grinding media with different electrostatic potentials come into contact with sulfide ores, or between sulfide ores with different electrostatic potentials, while simultaneously in an electrolyte solution. Because these materials with different electrostatic potentials form a galvanic cell, a redox reaction occurs at the two electrodes of the resulting galvanic cell.

[0003] Grinding is a crucial process before mineral processing. During this process, the mineral is subjected to strong mechanical forces and undergoes a series of complex redox reactions, which alter the mineral's surface properties and the chemical properties of the slurry, directly impacting the effectiveness of subsequent mineral processing steps. In actual grinding, galvanic corrosion occurs upon contact between the grinding media and the mineral. This process is influenced by complex factors, and the collision between the grinding media and sulfide ores is highly random, making it difficult to study the galvanic corrosion between the grinding media and sulfide ores.

[0004] Different grinding media used in the sulfide ore grinding process may have significantly different effects on mineral processing.

[0074] 3.

In order to obtain the change of S atomic valence state on the sulfide ore surface after galvanic corrosion between grinding medium and sulfide ore, it is necessary to perform peak fitting on the XPS spectrum of S 2p orbital and the relative content of sulfur atoms with different valence states. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy test was performed on the sulfide ore sample A of the control group where galvanic corrosion between grinding medium and sulfide ore did not occur, and the corresponding XPS spectrum was obtained as shown in the figure below. Figure 7 (a) is shown, and the relative content distribution of different valence states of sulfur atoms is shown in Table 1. When the sulfide ore sample is chalcopyrite, 1 gram of pure chalcopyrite mineral sample is taken, 0.5 ml of deionized water is added and mixed evenly at room temperature and air conditions, and a pressure of 60 Newtons is applied for 20 minutes. The XPS spectrum of the sulfide ore sample C is as follows: Figure 7 (b) shows the relative content distribution of sulfur atoms in different valence states as shown in Table 1.

[0080] Example 2:

[0081] The galvanic corrosion between grinding media and sulfide ore was studied under different pressure values.

[0082] 1. First, prepare the sulfide ore mineral sample required for the experiment, with a particle size of -200 to 300 mesh. This experiment uses a pure chalcopyrite mineral sample that has been ultrasonically cleaned and naturally air-dried, and is called sulfide ore sample A; take 1 gram of sulfide ore sample A, add 0.3 mL of deionized water and mix evenly to obtain sulfide ore sample B; then prepare the grinding medium sample, select two square grinding medium plates with a side length of 10 cm, and the grinding medium plates are made of DT4 pure iron. The surface is evenly polished and ultrasonically cleaned, and wiped dry to obtain the grinding medium plates to be tested, and select a sample cell 51 with a size that matches the size of the grinding medium plates to be tested; the grinding medium plate to be tested placed in the sample cell 51 is called grinding medium plate A22; the grinding medium plate to be tested fixed to the bottom of the insulating pressure plate 21 is called grinding medium plate B511.

[0083] 2. Turn on the vacuum mechanism 3 to place the contact reaction chamber 1 in a high vacuum state. Use the atmosphere and temperature control mechanism 6 to adjust the gas in the contact reaction chamber 1 to air and the temperature in the contact reaction chamber 1 to 20 degrees Celsius. Perform sample manipulation using the flexible sealing glove 72. First, place the grinding medium plate A22 into the sample cell 51. Then, evenly cover the sulfide ore sample A or sulfide ore sample B on the grinding medium plate A22. The electric cylinder drives the insulating pressing plate 21 to press the grinding medium plate B511 into the sample cell 51. The sulfide ore sample to be tested is in full contact with both the grinding medium plate A22 and the grinding medium plate B511. The test is timed for 10 minutes to allow galvanic corrosion to occur between the grinding medium and the sulfide ore under the set environmental conditions.

The flotation index recovery rate is shown in Table 2. Analysis shows that when the pressure is relatively small such as 0N, 60N, and 100N during the grinding process, the galvanic corrosion between the grinding medium and the sulfide ore has a significant effect on the floatability of the sulfide ore.

[0092] 3. Take 1 gram of sulfide ore sample A and add 0.5 ml of 1*10 -4mol / L xanthate solution was mixed to obtain sulfide ore sample B. Then, a grinding medium sample was prepared by selecting two 10 cm square grinding medium plates made of DT4 pure iron. Their surfaces were evenly polished and ultrasonically cleaned, then wiped dry to obtain the grinding medium plates to be tested. A sample cell 51 of a size matching the size of the grinding medium plates to be tested was selected. The grinding medium plate to be tested placed in sample cell 51 is referred to as grinding medium plate A22; the grinding medium plate to be tested, secured to the bottom of insulating pressure plate 21, is referred to as grinding medium plate B511.

[0093] 4. Repeat step 2 for three times, and use the obtained sulfide ore sample C for flotation experiments and characterization tests each time to obtain flotation indicators and test data such as recovery rate. For the obtained sulfide ore sample C, the open circuit potential, cyclic voltammetry curve and Tafel curve of the sulfide ore sample C can be tested using an electrochemical workstation to reveal the influence of the galvanic corrosion between the grinding medium and the sulfide ore on the electrochemical properties of the sulfide ore sample C. When the sulfide ore sample is a chalcopyrite sample, an electrochemical test is performed to obtain the open circuit potential, cyclic voltammetry curve and Tafel curve of whether galvanic corrosion between the grinding medium and the sulfide ore occurs. Figure 8 (a) shows that the open circuit potential, cyclic voltammetry curve and Tafel curve before and after the galvanic corrosion between the grinding medium and the sulfide ore are compared to study the mechanism of galvanic corrosion between the grinding medium and the sulfide ore from an electrochemical perspective.

[0094] 5. Repeat step 3 for three times, and use the obtained sulfide ore sample C to perform flotation experiments and characterization tests each time to obtain flotation indicators and test data such as recovery rate.

[0095] 6. Combine the experimental data and test data obtained in steps 4 and 5 to study the galvanic corrosion mechanism between the grinding medium and the sulfide ore, and determine whether the grinding medium material has an enhancing effect on the floatability of the target sulfide mineral.

[0097] Example 4:

[0098] The galvanic corrosion between grinding media and chalcopyrite was studied under the influence of different water contents in sulfide ore slurry.

[0099] First, prepare the chalcopyrite mineral sample required for the experiment. Its particle size is -200-300 mesh. The pure chalcopyrite mineral sample is ultrasonically cleaned and air-dried, referred to as chalcopyrite sample A. Take 1 gram of chalcopyrite sample A and add a volume V of deionized water to mix thoroughly, obtaining chalcopyrite sample B. Next, prepare the grinding medium sample. Select two square grinding medium plates with a side length of 10 cm. Made of DT4 pure iron, their surfaces are evenly polished, ultrasonically cleaned, and wiped dry to obtain the grinding medium plates to be tested. A sample cell 51 of matching dimensions is selected. The grinding medium plates to be tested placed in the sample cell 51 are referred to as grinding medium plates A22. The grinding medium plates to be tested, secured to the bottom of the insulating pressure plate 21, are referred to as grinding medium plates B511. The vacuum mechanism 3 is activated, placing the contact reaction chamber 1 in a high vacuum state. The atmosphere and temperature control mechanism 6 are used to maintain the contact reaction chamber 1 at air and a temperature of 20°C. Sample manipulation is performed using flexible sealing gloves 72. First, the grinding medium plate A22 is placed in the sample pool 51. Then, the chalcopyrite sample A or the chalcopyrite sample B is evenly covered on the grinding medium plate A22. The electric cylinder drives the insulating pressing plate 21 to press the grinding medium plate B511 into the sample pool 51. The pressure F is 30N. The chalcopyrite sample to be tested is in full contact with the grinding medium plate A22 and the grinding medium plate B511 at the same time. The test is timed for 10 minutes to allow galvanic corrosion to occur between them under the set environmental conditions, thereby obtaining the chalcopyrite sample C after the galvanic corrosion reaction between the grinding medium and the chalcopyrite.

[0100] 2. In experimental step 1, chalcopyrite sample A was added to deionized water with a volume of V and mixed to obtain chalcopyrite sample B; the volume V was 0 mL, 0.25 mL, 0.5 mL, and 1 mL respectively; step 1 was repeated three times under each water content condition, and chalcopyrite sample C was obtained each time for flotation experiment and characterization test, and flotation indicators and test data such as recovery rate were obtained. The flotation index recovery rate is shown in Table 3. Analysis shows that within a certain water content range, the adverse effect of DT4 pure iron grinding medium on the floatability of sulfide ore (chalcopyrite) gradually increases with the increase of water content during the grinding process. This may be because the water content causes the enhanced galvanic corrosion between the grinding medium and the sulfide ore.

[0101] 3. Combining the experimental data and test data under different water content conditions, the galvanic corrosion mechanism between grinding media and chalcopyrite is studied to determine whether the grinding media material has an enhancing effect on the floatability of the target chalcopyrite mineral.
