Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ore dressing technology, in particular to a classification and concentration method for ores containing more fine-grained ore mud. Background Art

[0002] At present, in some iron ore beneficiation production processes, the beneficiation process for ore is mainly divided into three stages, namely, washing + classification concentration + flotation process. First, the products after crushing and washing are preliminarily screened with a 3-5mm dewatering screen, the products on the screen enter the ball mill, and the products under the screen are concentrated and enter the cyclone for classification.

[0003] At present, this iron ore beneficiation process has the following disadvantages: Due to the limited processing capacity and high energy consumption of the ball mill, the washing section is only open during certain periods of time. Therefore, the ball mill feed is unstable, which makes the ball mill's grinding capacity not fully utilized for a period of time, and easily leads to over-crushing problems, which is not conducive to improving energy efficiency. When the washing section is turned on, the sludge under the washing screen is concentrated and fed into the cyclone. The sludge is fine and will increase the cyclone processing capacity, making the cyclone classification quality efficiency low. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a grading and concentration method for ores containing a large amount of fine-grained ore mud in view of the above situation. The inventive method reduces the processing capacity of the grinding system, ensures the output while reducing the energy consumption of the ore dressing plant, and realizes the dehydration of ore muds of different particle sizes and the rational allocation of resources.

The mass concentration of the classifier sediment G is 75% to 85% and the proportion of +0.10 mm ore is more than 90%. After the classifier sediment G is concentrated by the concentration equipment, the mass concentration of the concentrated product H is 85% to 90%. The overflow with a mass concentration of 10% to 20% is returned to the classifier of the secondary grading and dehydration system to participate in the grading cycle. (4) The overflow F from the secondary grading and dehydration system is transported to the tertiary grading and dehydration system for grading and concentration. The overflow I from the tertiary grading and dehydration system has a mass concentration of 5% to 10% and the proportion of -0.01 mm ore is more than 90%, and directly enters the tailings treatment system; the mass concentration of the sand J from the grading machine is 65% to 75%; (5) The concentrated products E and H in the primary and secondary grading and dehydration systems and the sand settling G in the tertiary grading and dehydration system enter the filter for dehydration. The moisture content of the dehydrated product K is below 10%. The dehydrated product K and the material A on the screen enter the ball mill bin for storage.

[0006] Furthermore, in step (1) of the present invention, the ore washing equipment is a drum ore washer or a wheel sand washer; the ore mud after water washing is transported to the screening equipment, and the conveying equipment is a screw conveyor or a slurry pump; the screening equipment is a vibrating linear dewatering screen or a cylindrical screen.

[0007] Furthermore, in step (2) of the present invention, the transport method of the material B under the transport screen is belt transport or screw conveyor transport; the classifier of the primary grading and dehydration system uses a mud bucket or a high weir double-screw classifier; the concentration equipment in the primary grading and dehydration system uses a vibrating dehydration screen, and the slurry pump is used to lift the material under the dehydration screen and return it to the classifier of the primary grading and dehydration system through a pipeline to participate in the grading cycle.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) In the current iron ore process, the ore mud after washing passes through the dewatering screen with a mesh size of 3-5 mm.
