Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a method for removing COD from lead-zinc ore flotation wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing depletion of lead-zinc sulfide resources, the efficient development and utilization of lead-zinc oxide resources has become an important issue for mineral processing workers. Currently, the flotation process for lead-zinc oxide ores generally involves: crushing – grinding – flotation – concentrate / tailings. During ball milling, activators (sodium sulfide) are added to activate lead oxide, inhibitors (zinc sulfate, sodium carbonate, lime) are added to inhibit sphalerite, and collectors (xanthate, dithiocyanate, etc.) are added to complete lead flotation. After adjusting the pH, activators (copper sulfate, lead nitrate, etc.) are added to activate sphalerite, and collectors (xanthate, dithiocyanate, etc.) and frothers are added to complete zinc sulfide mineral flotation. Finally, dispersants (water glass, sodium hexametaphosphate, etc.), activators (sodium sulfide, JF series activators, organic chelating agents, etc.), collectors (amines, xanthates, fatty acids, thiols, CF, CSFA, DZ-6, etc.) and frothers are added to complete non-desliming flotation of zinc oxide minerals. The foaming agents mainly include pine oil, cresol oil, terpineol, and methylpentanol.

[0003] The complex and difficult-to-process properties of oxidized lead-zinc ores are due to: high and highly variable lead-zinc oxidation rates; complex and varied mineral composition; complex ore structure; highly unstable associated components; and the presence of large amounts of clay, ferric hydroxide (such as limonite), and alum. These substances are prone to mud formation, making flotation control difficult. Furthermore, the presence of large amounts of soluble salts (such as oxides and sulfides of carbonates, sulfates, and silicates) not only causes slime agglomeration but also reacts with carbonate ions to form calcium carbonate precipitates that cover the mineral surface, significantly hindering the flotation process of oxidized lead-zinc ores. The complex interpenetration and interlocking of valuable minerals (such as hemimorphite, smithsonite, cerussite, and alum) with gangue minerals further increases the difficulty of flotation. Furthermore, the presence of fine minerals in the slime has a significant impact, especially in lead oxide ores heavily contaminated with ferric hydroxide, where the flotation effect is extremely poor. The flotation effect of fine-grained lead oxide ores is not ideal, and the flotation activity of coarse-grained zinc oxide ores is easily lost during the beneficiation process, causing them to fall off the flotation tank. The amount of reagents used, especially sodium sulfide, is large, and amine collectors are sensitive to slime and are used in large quantities. At the same time, beneficiation reagents such as frothers, xanthates, black reagents, ethyl thiocyanates, and water glass also need to be added. As a result, the wastewater from lead oxide zinc ore flotation has a complex composition, high salinity, high COD concentration, and very high pH, ​​usually around 12.0 to 13.0, exhibiting strong alkalinity, making it difficult to treat.

[0004] Currently, commonly used methods for treating mineral processing wastewater both domestically and internationally include coagulation sedimentation, oxidation, chemical precipitation, activated carbon adsorption, biological methods, and membrane methods. However, these methods are all difficult to achieve deep purification and reuse of wastewater in a low-cost and efficient manner. Existing technologies for COD removal from lead-zinc ore beneficiation wastewater are suitable for low-salinity, low-COD wastewater or low-salinity, high-COD wastewater, but not for treating high-salinity, high-COD lead-zinc ore beneficiation wastewater. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find an efficient, reasonable, effective, and practical treatment method for high-salinity, high-COD lead-zinc ore beneficiation wastewater. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for removing COD from flotation wastewater of lead-zinc ore with high salinity and high COD, in view of the current limitations in COD removal.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for removing COD from lead-zinc ore flotation wastewater includes the following steps:

[0008] (1) The flotation tailings of oxidized lead-zinc ore are pretreated by a hydraulic cavitation device; the flotation tailings are obtained directly from flotation without solid-liquid separation and contain residual mineral processing reagents.

[0009] (2) Separate the slurry obtained from the pretreatment in step (1) to obtain mineral processing wastewater and slag;

[0010] (3) Add an oxidant to the mineral processing wastewater obtained in step (2) to carry out an oxidation reaction;

[0011] (4) Add acid to the reaction solution after step (3) to adjust the pH and carry out the hydrolysis reaction;

[0012] (5) Add a biological agent to the reaction solution after step (4) to carry out a catalytic oxidation reaction; the biological agent includes bacterial solution and modified biochar, the bacterial solution is obtained by culturing a complex bacterial group including iron-reducing bacteria and Bacillus, and the modified biochar is biochar loaded with iron salts;

[0013] (6) Separate the liquid, solid and liquid after the reaction in step (5).

[0014] The remaining mineral processing reagents include frothers.

[0015] The COD concentration of the flotation tailings is 2000–5000 mg / L, and the TDS is ≥10 g / L.

[0016] As a further improvement, the flow rate of the flotation tailings through the hydraulic cavitation device in step (1) is 18-30 L / min.

[0017] As a further improvement, step (4) adjusts the pH to 4-6 and reacts for 15-20 minutes.

[0018] As a further improvement, the amount of biological agent added in step (5) is 0.2 to 1.0 g / L, and the reaction time is 15 to 30 min.

[0019] As a further improvement, the preparation method of the biological agent in step (5) includes:

[0020] (a) A complex microbial community including iron-reducing bacteria and Bacillus was cultured in a complex culture medium containing the mineral processing wastewater to obtain a bacterial solution;

[0021] (b) Add biochar to the iron salt solution, disperse evenly, and dry to obtain modified biochar;

[0022] (c) The modified biochar is added to the bacterial solution and dispersed evenly to obtain the biological agent.

[0023] As a further improvement, the mass ratio of iron-reducing bacteria to Bacillus in the complex microbial community described in step (a) is 3:(6-8).

[0024] As a further improvement, the amount of biochar added in step (b) is 20% to 30% of the mass of iron salt.

[0025] As a further improvement, the amount of modified biochar added in step (c) is 10% to 20% of the bacterial culture mass.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] (1) This invention utilizes the properties of the slurry after flotation of oxidized lead-zinc ore to achieve preliminary removal of COD and salts from the ore slurry under the action of hydraulic cavitation. Specifically, this invention utilizes the frother in the residual beneficiation reagents in the slurry after flotation and the gravity of the slurry itself to enhance the hydraulic cavitation effect, thereby generating a local high concentration of strong oxidizing free radicals inside the slurry, which plays an activation role. These free radicals can directly oxidize the residual beneficiation reagents in the slurry, thereby inducing, initiating and enhancing the chemical reaction. At the same time, the strong hydrodynamic shear force generated when the cavitation bubbles collapse will also cause the chemical bonds on the main chain of macromolecules to break and generate free radicals, thereby achieving preliminary removal of COD from the slurry, greatly reducing the amount of subsequent COD removal reagents added and lowering the reagent cost. Cavitation generates a mechanical effect, which can generate enough energy to break up some of the ore, clay, etc. in the slurry, increasing the specific surface area and its adsorption capacity. Through adsorption, some beneficiation reagents and some salts are removed, thereby reducing the salt content in the slurry and improving the subsequent oxidation efficiency.

[0028] (2) Based on the properties of wastewater, this invention makes full use of the oxidant to form peroxy organic acids with organic matter in the wastewater in a strongly alkaline environment to further mineralize COD.

[0029] (3) Adjust the pH to weakly acidic. Some of the residual mineral processing reagents will undergo molecular rearrangement or hydrolysis into small molecules, which will generate free sulfur ions.

[0030] In biological agents, iron salts loaded on biochar primarily react with sulfur ions in wastewater through precipitation to remove sulfur ions. Simultaneously, the iron salts catalyze residual oxidants, generating more strong oxidizing free radicals (sulfoxy radicals, hydroxyl radicals, or chloroxy radicals, etc.). Combined with the catalytic and adsorption functions of biochar and microbial metabolites (catalase, capsules, mucus, polysaccharides, polypeptides, and proteins, etc.), this process efficiently removes organic matter from wastewater, achieving deep COD removal. The loaded Bacillus can reduce Fe... 3+ For Fe 2+ This enables the loaded iron salt to achieve Fe 2+ Fe 3+ The cycle increases the production rate of strong oxidizing free radicals.

[0031] (4) The method for removing COD from lead-zinc oxide ore flotation wastewater provided by the present invention reduces the amount of alkali and acid used compared with the traditional Fenton method for removing COD. At the same time, no toxic and harmful gases such as H2S and CO are detected, making it more environmentally friendly and achieving higher COD removal efficiency, thus realizing deep purification of flotation wastewater.

[0032] (5) This invention pre-treats the wastewater at the front end of the mineral processing wastewater generation (before the solid-liquid separation of the slurry). With the concept of treating waste with waste, it is more efficient and environmentally friendly than existing processes, with lower investment and operating costs, simpler operation, and stronger resistance to shock loads. It can achieve efficient removal of COD from the flotation wastewater of oxidized lead-zinc ore, and the wastewater can be reused. Attached Figure Description
