Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of comprehensive beneficiation of lepidolite, in particular to a method for comprehensive recovery of iron lepidolite based on a grading magnetic separation process. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lepidolite is the most common lithium mineral, which belongs to a kind of mica mineral, and is generally produced in granite pegmatite, often associated with tantalum-niobium ore, biotite, cassiterite, feldspar, quartz and other minerals. Iron-containing lepidolite is called iron lepidolite, which has weak magnetism and often appears in the form of fine flaky aggregates. Lepidolite is one of the main raw materials for extracting metallic lithium or lithium carbonate, and often contains rubidium and cesium, which are also important raw materials for extracting these rare metals. As a raw material for lithium chemicals, lepidolite is widely used in lithium batteries, metallurgy, glass, ceramics, medicine, chemical industry, military industry and other fields; with the rapid development of green and environmentally friendly new energy, the demand for lithium battery raw materials has increased significantly.

[0003] At present, domestic lepidolite processing enterprises mainly use the "desliming-flotation" process for beneficiation; with the development of strong magnetic separation process equipment and technology, some lepidolite processing enterprises also begin to use vertical ring high gradient magnetic separators to separate lepidolite; and some lepidolite processing enterprises use superconducting magnetic separators to recover fine-grained lepidolite in fine slurry; the above beneficiation processes can all produce qualified industrial products.

[0004] It is found through research that when using the "desliming-flotation" process, the hydrocyclone needs to be used to remove the fine slurry that affects the flotation index before using fatty acid to collect lepidolite, but part of the fine flaky lepidolite will also be lost in the fine slurry overflow, which will reduce the recovery rate of lepidolite; when using a vertical ring high gradient magnetic separator, although there is no environmental problem of reagent pollution, fine flaky lepidolite in fine particles cannot be effectively recovered; at the same time, when using a superconducting magnetic separator, although good beneficiation indexes can be obtained for fine lepidolite, it is difficult to realize large-scale production.

[0005] In view of the technical problems of high production cost, low beneficiation recovery rate, great environmental pressure, and small processing capacity existing in the existing beneficiation process, it is an urgent problem for lepidolite processing enterprises at this stage to design a method for comprehensive recovery of iron lepidolite, which can comprehensively recover valuable minerals by 100%, improve beneficiation recovery indexes, improve the quality of recovered products, achieve zero discharge of tailings and tail water, and be suitable for large-scale production and application.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0031] Figure 1 The process flow chart of one embodiment of the method for comprehensive recovery of iron lithium mica based on the classification and magnetic separation process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to facilitate understanding of those skilled in the art, the present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] A certain iron-lithium mica concentrator in Hunan Province previously adopted the "desliming-flotation" process, and the loss rate of lithium in the fine sludge removed before flotation was about 15%, and the total recovery rate of beneficiation was about 75%. A large amount of fine sludge tailings exist problems such as resource waste, land occupation, environmental pollution, and harm to reservoir capacity. At the same time, the "desliming-flotation" process also has problems such as high reagent cost and great environmental pressure. Later, the iron-lithium mica concentrator carried out large-scale technical improvement, and the original "desliming-flotation" process was improved to a magnetic separation process. The specific process flow is to use a vertical ring high gradient magnetic separator for one roughing and two scavenging, and then combine the rough concentrate and the concentrate to be further treated by one cleaning and one scavenging. This magnetic separation process effectively solves the problems of environmental protection and tailings reservoir capacity, and the production capacity is also improved. However, the total recovery rate of beneficiation is about 76-78%, the total recovery rate of beneficiation is limited, and part of the fine and micro-fine iron-lithium mica in the tailings is still difficult to recover. The specific beneficiation situation is as follows: when the grade of Li2O in the raw ore is 0.52%, the content of Li2O in the tailings is 0.18%, and the sieve analysis result of the tailings particle size shows that the content of Li2O in the +200 mesh coarse particle size is 0.07%, and the content of Li2O in the -200+400 mesh particle size is 0.10%, indicating that the vertical ring high gradient magnetic separator has a high beneficiation recovery effect on coarse and medium particle size iron-lithium mica; the yield of -400 mesh fine particle size is 28-30%, and the content of Li2O is 0.24%, of which the content of Li2O in -600 mesh fine particle size is as high as 0.36%, indicating that the vertical ring high gradient magnetic separator cannot effectively recover fine and micro-fine iron-lithium mica; thereby causing the loss of lithium metal.

[0034] It is found through research that the use of superconducting magnetic separators for fine and micro-fine iron-lithium mica in fine particles can achieve good beneficiation recovery effect, but the superconducting magnetic separator has large equipment investment, low processing capacity, and high operation difficulty, and is difficult to realize large-scale production. It is found through experimental comparison that when the content of Li2O in the -400 mesh fine sludge removed by the flotation process is 0.29%, the content of Li2O in the tailings of the first high-intensity magnetic roughing using the superconducting magnetic separator is 0.07%, and the content of Li2O in the tailings of the first high-intensity magnetic roughing using the electromagnetic slurry high gradient magnetic separator is 0.09%, indicating that the electromagnetic slurry high gradient magnetic separator also has good beneficiation effect on fine iron-lithium mica. The electromagnetic slurry high gradient magnetic separator is usually applied to the impurity removal and purification of -325 mesh fine particle size kaolin, and has the advantages of mature technology, large processing capacity, high production efficiency, excellent separation index, wide application range, etc.
