Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mineral processing technology, specifically relating to a mineral processing method for complex altered copper-molybdenum ore with high sulfur, high iron, high talc content and zinc content. Background Technology
[0002] Copper, molybdenum, zinc, and other metallic mineral resources are widely used in various aspects of human life. Skarn-type deposits are the main source of copper and associated metals, but due to their complex geological mineralization processes and complex mineral characteristics such as high sulfur and iron content, high talc content, and unavoidable metal ions, the flotation separation of polymetallic minerals under specific wall rock alteration characteristics presents a challenge that urgently needs to be addressed.
[0003] In complex altered copper-molybdenum ores, the main copper minerals are chalcopyrite, covellite, and chalcocite; the main zinc mineral is sphalerite; the main molybdenum mineral is molybdenite; other metallic minerals are mainly pyrite and pyrrhotite; and gangue minerals are mainly talc, serpentine, chlorite, actinolite, and kaolinite. The ore is influenced by contact metamorphism, hydrothermal activity, and supergene processes, often bringing Cu from the primary slime. 2+ When unavoidable metal ions enter the slurry, the grinding and mechanical agitation can severely activate sphalerite and pyrite, making them difficult to suppress. Furthermore, talc, due to its natural hydrophobicity resulting from interlayer dissociation, exhibits superior floatability compared to molybdenite, leading to its introduction into the concentrate and impacting quality, making it difficult to obtain molybdenum concentrate. When gangue minerals and polymetallic minerals in the flotation system simultaneously possess similar and strong floatability, forced suppression inevitably results in the loss of the target metal; conversely, severe metal intermingling makes it difficult to guarantee product quality. Moreover, these complex altered ores are mostly distributed in the circum-Pacific region, concentrated in the high-altitude areas of the Andes Mountains. The target minerals generally exhibit uneven distribution, and fine grinding and recovery of the entire mineral under low pressure and low oxygen conditions inevitably increases the product moisture content. Currently, mines process this type of ore in a relatively simple way, mainly focusing on recovering copper minerals. In the raw ore pulp, sphalerite and pyrite are activated by metal ions during the grinding stage, acquiring extremely high floatability. To avoid copper mineral loss due to sphalerite suppression, zinc is often not suppressed or only weakly suppressed during production. When the zinc content in the raw ore increases, the zinc content in the copper concentrate often exceeds the standard, requiring blending to reduce the zinc content in the raw ore to ensure copper concentrate quality. As the floatability of pyrite increases, the amount of calcium oxide inhibitor also increases, causing simultaneous loss of molybdenite. Furthermore, to reduce talc interference, carboxymethyl cellulose is often used to suppress talc, which is also largely suppressed simultaneously. When the talc content in the raw ore increases, intensified talc suppression also leads to copper mineral loss. Traditional production processes are not suitable for the flotation separation of copper, molybdenum, and zinc minerals with complex mineral characteristics such as high sulfur and iron content, high talc content, and high levels of unavoidable metal ions. Therefore, finding a method to solve these technical problems is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Furthermore, the highly selective copper collector mentioned in step C is KF-6.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0050] 1. This invention, before grinding, uses a cylindrical screen to wash the ore, removing a large amount of soluble harmful metal ions from the fine-grained slurry of the crushed raw ore. This not only avoids the separation problems caused by the activation of freshly liberated sphalerite and pyrite surfaces by intense contact with a large number of metal ions during lump ore grinding, but also reduces the amount of pyrite and sphalerite inhibitors needed, especially significantly reducing the amount of calcium oxide, which is beneficial for molybdenite recovery. It has significant advantages in the beneficiation of copper ores with high levels of unavoidable harmful metal ions and high levels of pyrite.
[0051] 2. The present invention uses a cylindrical screen for washing, thickening and stirring to pretreat harmful metal ions. The equipment and process are simple and reliable, the water treatment cycle is short, and the treated deionized water can be returned to the grinding and flotation operations in a timely manner.
[0052] 3. This invention employs rapid flotation after coarse grinding, which not only recovers coarse copper minerals with high degree of liberation but also allows a large amount of highly floatable talc to float prematurely. The natural floatability of talc is used to suppress copper and refloat the talc, thus achieving early talc removal. This avoids the loss of fine-grained and difficult-to-react copper minerals caused by suppressing talc in later stages, while simultaneously obtaining a coarse-grained copper concentrate product with a high Cu grade.
[0053] 4. This invention performs a tiered treatment of talc. The talc removed in the front-end operation is the talc with the best floatability. The floatability of the talc entering the back-end operation decreases, making it easier to suppress. The invention uses HD-6, a talc selective inhibitor with a relatively mild inhibitory effect, which avoids the non-selective strong inhibition of traditional carboxymethyl cellulose. This allows for the tiered separation of talc while minimizing the inhibitory effect of the talc inhibitor on molybdenite, which is beneficial for the recovery of molybdenite. This invention is more suitable for mineral characteristics with high talc content and large differences in floatability.
[0054] 5. This invention employs staged grinding, further weakening the floatability of pyrite and sphalerite. This stepwise enhances the differences in surface hydrophobicity among polymetallic minerals, reducing the inter-metallic inclusions. The particle size distribution of the copper concentrate product is regulated, which helps reduce product moisture content and enhances its adaptability to unconventional environments such as high altitudes in complex altered copper mines.
[0055] 6. The copper collector KF-6 used in the rapid flotation of this invention has good selectivity for coarse-grained copper minerals with high monomer liberation, but weaker collection ability for molybdenite. It removes talc while reducing the loss of molybdenite during rapid flotation operations.
[0056] 7. The reagents used in this invention are all conventional flotation reagents, which are environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0083] A certain mineral processing plant contains 0.56% copper, 0.017% molybdenum, 0.41% zinc, and 15.32% iron. The main metallic minerals are sulfide minerals (chalcopyrite, covellite, chalcocite, arsenic sulfide, molybdenite, sphalerite, and pyrite). The secondary copper content is high, and the pulp contains a large amount of soluble harmful metal ions. The above mineral sample will be processed through the following steps:
