Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of mineral flotation, and particularly relates to a molybdenite depressant and a beneficiation method of high talc-type molybdenum ore. BACKGROUND
[0002] Metallic molybdenum and its alloys have high melting point, corrosion resistance, good ductility and other characteristics, and are valued by many countries in the world. Molybdenum has been an important metal raw material for national scientific and technological development, and is also an important strategic reserve resource in China. Molybdenum is less distributed in nature, and the average content in the earth's crust is about 0.001%. China has nearly 830 million tons of molybdenum reserves, accounting for about 52% of the world's total reserves, and is the country with the most abundant molybdenum resources in the world. According to statistics, 99% of molybdenum resources in China come from molybdenite, such as the high talc-type molybdenum ore in Shangfanggou, Henan. Since molybdenum and talc are closely associated, and their floatability is very close, nearly 705,000 tons of molybdenum metal has not been effectively developed and utilized. Therefore, how to improve the development and utilization level of this type of talc-type molybdenum ore is of great significance to promote the development of China's molybdenum industry.
[0003] With the continuous exploitation and utilization of rich ores and easy-to-select minerals, complex, lean and difficult-to-process molybdenum resources cannot be recovered by gravity separation and other physical methods, and flotation is the most important method for selecting talc-type molybdenum ore with fine-grained dissemination. The existing flotation separation reagents for talc and molybdenite are mainly polysaccharide gangue depressants. However, this type of gangue depressant often has poor selectivity, complex process and other problems. At the same time, a large amount of water glass is added in the process of inhibiting talc, which leads to difficult settling of the slurry, difficult concentration, poor utilization effect of return water, and increased difficulty in tailings treatment. Therefore, the development of high-efficiency and high-selectivity talc-type molybdenite reagent and flotation method is of great significance to improve the comprehensive utilization rate of molybdenum resources.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN115025888A provides a molybdenite inhibiting protective agent and a molybdenum ore dressing method containing easily floating layered silicate gangue minerals. The components of the molybdenite inhibiting protective agent are adsorbed on the surface of molybdenite through chemical and physical action, forming a "protective wall" of molybdenite minerals, preventing the easily floating layered silicate gangue inhibitor from adsorbing on the surface of molybdenite, making the floatability of molybdenite and layered silicate minerals different, eliminating the interference of easily floating layered silicate gangue minerals on molybdenite flotation, and improving the recovery rate of molybdenum. Chinese invention patent CN110465412B discloses a molybdenite dressing gangue inhibitor and a preparation method thereof. The molybdenite dressing gangue inhibitor includes sodium silicate, gum ghatti, aluminum sulfate, aluminum potassium sulfate dodecahydrate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, tannin extract, and dextrin. Through the organic combination of the components, a water film can be formed on the gangue in the molybdenite, avoiding hydrophobic foaming, reducing the viscosity of the slurry and foam, reducing or blocking the adsorption between the gangue and the collector, and improving the collection efficiency of the collector. The above two patents mainly inhibit the easily floating gangue (such as talc and mica) to change its hydrophilicity, so that the floatability of molybdenite and talc is different, thereby improving the recovery rate of molybdenite. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the fact that talc and molybdenite have very similar and excellent natural floatability, and the existing gangue inhibitors have poor selectivity and are difficult to selectively float and separate, the purpose of the present application is to provide a molybdenite inhibitor and a dressing method for high-talc molybdenum ore, which uses a specific reagent combination to efficiently and selectively inhibit molybdenite, thereby realizing the flotation separation of talc and molybdenite.
[0006] The first object of the present application is to provide a molybdenite inhibitor, which comprises A component and B component: the A component comprises sodium hypochlorite and ferric chloride; the B component comprises thiamine pyrophosphate and pullulan;
[0007] The mass ratio of the A component and the B component is 1:1.5~8:1; the mass ratio of sodium hypochlorite and ferric chloride in the A component is 1:6~2:1; the mass ratio of thiamine pyrophosphate and pullulan in the B component is 1:8~2.5:1.
[0008] Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), the active component of inorganic reagent combination A, is a strong inorganic oxidant. In the pulp, molybdenite, after crushing and grinding, exposes its non-polar basal facets and polar facets. Sodium hypochlorite acts on the polar facets of molybdenite, oxidizing them to form more hydrophilic molybdenum oxide and molybdenum hydroxyl groups, thus enhancing the hydrophilicity of molybdenite in the pulp. However, the polar facets of talc exposed after crushing and grinding are not oxidized by sodium hypochlorite, thereby widening the hydrophilic / hydrophobic difference between molybdenite and talc. Ferric chloride (FeCl3), the active component of inorganic reagent combination A, also has an oxidizing effect in the pulp and can co-oxidize the exposed facets of molybdenite with sodium hypochlorite, enhancing the oxidation process during flotation. 3+ It adsorbs onto the oxidized facets of molybdenite to form hydroxyl complexes, further promoting the hydrophilicity of the molybdenite surface, while Fe... 3+ After adsorption on the oxide facets of molybdenite, it readily binds to the polyhydroxyl structure of pullulan polysaccharide, the active component of organic reagent combination B, synergistically promoting the surface hydrophilicity of molybdenite. The active component of combination B, thiamine pyrophosphate, exists in the form of a multi-ring sulfur-nitrogen ring, exhibiting strong electronegativity in the pulp. It does not act on talc, which also has strong electronegativity, but selectively acts on molybdenite, which has relatively low electronegativity. Furthermore, the ring structure has less steric hindrance to the molybdenite surface, facilitating adsorption. The phosphate fraction of thiamine pyrophosphate has strong hydrophilicity, further amplifying the difference in hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity between molybdenite and talc during flotation.
[0009] Furthermore, the mass ratio of component A to component B is 2:1 to 4:1, the mass ratio of sodium hypochlorite to ferric chloride in component A is 1:4 to 2:1.5, and the mass ratio of thiamine pyrophosphate to pullulan in component B is 1:6 to 2:1.
[0010] Furthermore, the mass ratio of component A to component B is 2.5:1; the mass ratio of sodium hypochlorite to ferric chloride in component A is 1:2; and the mass ratio of thiamine pyrophosphate to pullulan in component B is 1:5.

For the flotation underflow obtained from the roughing flotation operation, multi-stage (three times) roughing scavenging operations are also adopted to ensure the recovery of useful molybdenum minerals. To further improve the recovery rate, the secondary products (pre-concentration underflow and roughing scavenging froth) of each pre-concentration or roughing scavenging operation are returned to the previous operation for flotation again. Among them, the underflow of the pre-concentration 1 operation and the froth of the roughing scavenging 1 operation are returned to the previous roughing flotation operation.

[0024] In step S4, the number of times of the separation and cleaning operation and the dosage of the reagent are changed in a similar manner to step S3, except that in the separation and cleaning operation, the dosage of the collector in the separation and cleaning 1 operation is controlled to be sufficient to support the use of the separation and cleaning operation throughout, and if the dosage is excessive, it will lead to the floating of molybdenum in the subsequent separation and cleaning 2 and 3 operations; in the separation and cleaning 2 and 3 operations, the amount of foam in the separation and cleaning operation is increased by adding a foaming agent.
[0025] Further, in step S4, the concentration of the molybdenite depressant is ≥1×10 -4 mol / L.
[0026] Preferably, the concentration of the molybdenite depressant is ≥3×10 -4 mol / L.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0033] 1. The raw materials used in this invention are readily available and low in cost. The reagent mainly involves hypochlorite ions first contacting molybdenite in the mineral to undergo a redox reaction, which increases the hydrophilicity of the molybdenite surface. The hydroxyl groups in the polysaccharide organic reagent can strongly adsorb onto the oxidized hydrophilic molybdenite surface, thereby enhancing its surface hydrophilicity and achieving the separation of talc and molybdenite by inhibiting molybdenite. The active component thiamine pyrophosphate effectively enhances the selectivity of the reagent.
[0034] 2. This invention effectively reduces the amount of water glass used in traditional silicate gangue minerals, which has positive benefits for subsequent wastewater treatment and slurry concentration and sedimentation, and effectively reduces the pollution of wastewater to the environment.
[0035] 3. The reagent used in this invention can significantly inhibit molybdenite. It has good compatibility with some talc-type molybdenum ore products with high talc content, greatly improving the selective separation of talc and molybdenite. The molybdenum loss rate of the beneficiated products is low, only about 2-8%.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the embodiments are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] The effects of this invention are illustrated using single minerals of talc and molybdenite, and a mixture of the two (mass ratio 1:1). The fineness of molybdenite and talc is guaranteed to be -0.074 mm, accounting for 95%. The purity of pure molybdenite is greater than 95%, with a grade of approximately 57.57%. After artificial mixing with talc, the Mo grade in the mixed ore is approximately 28.78%.
[0042] The mineral processing flow and reagent system in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 1As shown, the flotation process adopts a manual mixed ore one-time separation process, in the process, the mixed ore is inhibited using the molybdenite depressant of the application, and then only a frother is added for the flotation separation process, the frother type is selected as methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC), and the frother concentration is 1×10 -4 mol / L.
[0043] (1) Preparation of molybdenite depressant: the molybdenite depressant is mixed by inorganic reagent combination A and organic reagent combination B at a mass ratio of 3:1, wherein the inorganic reagent combination A is mixed by a sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 5% and a ferric chloride (FeCl3) aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 1% at a mass ratio of 1:2, and the organic reagent combination B is mixed by a thiamine pyrophosphate aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 0.5% and a pullulan aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 2% at a mass ratio of 3:4.
[0044] (2) One-time separation: the above mixed ore (-0.074 mm accounts for 95%) is added with water to prepare a slurry, the molybdenite depressant prepared in step S1 (concentration of 1×10 -5 mol / L) is added into the slurry, the adding amount is 300 g / t, 10 g / t of MIBC is added, stirring for 2 min, and flotation for 3.5 min.
[0045] The flotation test results are shown in Table 1 as 1#.
[0046] Comparative Example 1
[0047] Different from Example 1, in the one-time separation, dextrin is used as the gangue depressant instead of the molybdenite depressant, and the remaining steps and raw materials are the same as those of Example 1. The flotation test results are shown in Table 1 as 2#.
[0048] Comparative Example 2
[0049] Different from Example 1, in the one-time separation, sodium lignosulfonate is used as the gangue depressant instead of the molybdenite depressant, and the remaining steps and raw materials are the same as those of Example 1. The flotation test results are shown in Table 1 as 3#.
[0050] Comparative Example 3
[0051] Different from Example 1, in the one-time separation, starch is used as the gangue depressant instead of the molybdenite depressant, and the remaining steps and raw materials are the same as those of Example 1. The flotation test results are shown in Table 1 as 4#.
[0052] Table 1: Test results of artificial mixed ore in flotation tests 1#~4% / %
[0053]
[0054] Based on the previous experiments of the inventors, when the molybdenite depressant of the present application is used as a combined gangue depressant, the separation index of talc and molybdenum is optimal at an addition amount of 300 g / t. In Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, 300 g / t is selected as the addition amount of the gangue depressant. As shown in Table 1, the separation index of talc and molybdenum in Example 1 is optimal, in which molybdenum is enriched in the reverse flotation underflow, the molybdenum grade in the molybdenum concentrate is 47.97%, the molybdenum recovery is 82.27%, talc is mainly in the reverse flotation froth, the molybdenum grade in the talc concentrate is 1.31%, and the molybdenum loss is 17.73%. When other gangue depressants (2#-4#) are used, the molybdenum grade and molybdenum recovery in the molybdenum concentrate are lower than the index when the molybdenite depressant is used. The above results show that the use of the molybdenite depressant can selectively oxidize and depress molybdenite, expand the floatability difference between molybdenite and talc, and effectively separate talc and molybdenite.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] A high-talc type refractory molybdenum ore in Henan contains 0.11% Mo. The molybdenum in the raw ore is mainly molybdenite, with a small amount of oxidized molybdenum ore, which is 0.3% in the content of wulfenite and molybdate, and the gangue minerals are mainly calcite, feldspar, quartz and talc, among which the talc content is as high as 30.3%. In the flotation process, a large amount of primary argillization talc and secondary argillization talc generated in the grinding process exist in the process of separation, which causes phenomena such as slurry stickiness, equipment scaling and large amount of reagent consumption. At the same time, the excellent floatability of talc makes it difficult to separate molybdenite and talc, resulting in a low grade of molybdenum concentrate.
[0057] The molybdenite depressant and the beneficiation method for high-talc type molybdenum ore provided by the present application are used for beneficiation.
[0058] The molybdenite depressant is mixed by inorganic reagent combination A and organic reagent combination B at a mass ratio of 3:1, wherein the inorganic reagent combination A is mixed by 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) aqueous solution and 1% ferric chloride (FeCl3) aqueous solution at a mass ratio of 1:2, and the organic reagent combination B is mixed by 0.5% thiamine pyrophosphate aqueous solution and 2% pullulan aqueous solution at a mass ratio of 3:4.

The recovery rate and grade of the molybdenum concentrate product obtained by using the molybdenite inhibitor are greater than those of the other two reagents. The above results show that the molybdenite inhibitor can selectively oxidize and inhibit molybdenite, effectively separate talc and molybdenite, and effectively improve the molybdenum recovery rate of the mineral product.
[0078] The above examples use the high-selectivity molybdenite inhibitor in the mineral processing process, effectively separate talc and molybdenite, and effectively reduce the dosage of the traditional gangue inhibitor sodium silicate, which has positive benefits for subsequent wastewater treatment, slurry concentration and sedimentation, and effectively reduces the environmental pollution of wastewater.
[0079] The above examples should be understood as examples for more clearly illustrating the present application, and should not be used to limit the scope of the present application. After reading the present application, those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the equivalent forms of the present application, which fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
