Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ore dressing and nonferrous metal extraction, and in particular to a flotation method for high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore and a combined collector. Background Art
[0002] Copper and cobalt are widely used in a variety of fields, including batteries, electronics, and metallurgy. Copper-cobalt oxide ore is an important type of mineral in copper-cobalt ore resources and is widely distributed in major mining areas around the world. With the mining and utilization of resources, copper sulfide ores and easily selected copper-cobalt oxide ores are becoming increasingly scarce, and high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ores are gradually being mined and utilized. However, the conventional direct flotation process for treating copper-cobalt oxide ore makes it difficult to achieve efficient recovery of copper and cobalt resources, and the subsequent wet leaching process consumes a lot of acid, resulting in high production costs. Therefore, it is of great significance to strengthen research on the flotation recovery of high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore, improve its comprehensive utilization rate, and reduce leaching acid consumption and production costs.
[0003] In terms of high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ores, Chinese patent CN118186209A reported a "combined leaching method for copper-cobalt oxide ores with high acid consumption and easy bubbling". This method is to add concentrated sulfuric acid and high-copper extract solution for pre-leaching, and then add concentrated sulfuric acid for leaching, but this method is relatively expensive. Chinese patent CN109201312A announced a "metallurgical treatment method for copper-cobalt oxide ores containing easily floatable gangue". This method introduces easily floatable gangue collectors and inhibitors to achieve the separation of gangue minerals from useful minerals, but the process flow of this method is complicated. Chinese patent CN118807990A reported a "flotation method for high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ores". This method introduces a combination of xanthate and salicylic hydroxamic acid collectors. Although good indicators are achieved, the cost of the reagents is high, and the separation of useful minerals from gangue minerals is limited. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the problems of low copper and cobalt recovery rate, high production cost and high leaching acid consumption in the flotation method of high calcium and magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore in existing methods and technologies, the first object of the present invention is to provide a combined collector for the flotation of high calcium and magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore, which increases the hydrophobicity of the mineral through the synergistic adsorption of oxidized paraffin soap and sodium oleate, and simultaneously utilizes the strengthening effect of metal ions to achieve a significant improvement in flotation efficiency at a lower dosage.
[0005] A second object of the present invention is to provide a flotation method for high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore. By adopting a "forward and reverse mixed flotation" process to treat the high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore, the copper and cobalt recovery rates in the high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore are both greater than 90%, and the leaching acid consumption is 20 to 60 kg / t of feed ore.
[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides a combined collector for flotation of high calcium magnesium copper oxide cobalt ore, comprising oxidized paraffin soap, sodium oleate and divalent metal cations.
[0007] The action mechanism of the composite collector of the present invention can be analyzed from the perspectives of surface chemistry, intermolecular interaction and coordination chemistry. In the technical solution of the present invention, the carboxyl groups, ester groups and aldehyde groups in the composite collector are synergistically adsorbed on the dolomite surface, thereby enhancing the surface hydrophobicity. Specifically, the oxidized paraffin soap is a long-chain hydrocarbon surfactant containing carboxyl groups, aldehyde groups, ester groups and other solid-philic groups, which can be adsorbed to the calcium and magnesium sites exposed on the surface of the gangue mineral dolomite. Sodium oleate is a long-chain fatty acid salt containing carboxylic acid functional groups that can be adsorbed on the dolomite surface. The combination of the two produces a synergistic adsorption effect, with the sodium oleate providing additional hydrophobic interaction and the oxidized paraffin soap increasing the intermolecular adsorption force, thereby improving the hydrophobicity of the dolomite surface. In addition, the metal ions further enhance the adsorption of the collector on the dolomite surface by forming a colloidal complex. The metal ions can coordinate with oxidized paraffin soap and sodium oleate to form a stable colloidal complex. This complex has a strong combination of hydrophobicity and polarity, which strengthens the adsorption of the collector molecules on the calcium and magnesium sites on the dolomite surface, enhancing the hydrophobicity of the dolomite surface to improve flotation performance. Therefore, the composite collector of the present invention can significantly improve the flotation efficiency of the calcium and magnesium gangue mineral dolomite at a low dosage, reducing the impact of calcium and magnesium elements in the subsequent copper oxide wet leaching process.
[0008] As a preferred solution, the combined collector is composed of oxidized paraffin soap, sodium oleate and divalent metal cations in a mass percentage of (50-60)%: (20-40)%: (10-20)%. Oxidized paraffin soap as the main collector ensures sufficient adsorption and hydrophobicity of the collector molecules on the dolomite surface. An appropriate amount of sodium oleate can further enhance the hydrophobicity of the dolomite surface. An appropriate amount of metal ions can form a stable colloidal complex through coordination to improve the adsorption capacity. Too low a dosage of the three will lead to a decrease in adsorption and collection capacity and a decrease in dolomite flotation performance; while too high a dosage will lead to a strong hydrophilicity of the mineral surface, reduced selectivity, and increased cost. Further preferably, the combined collector is composed of oxidized paraffin soap, sodium oleate and divalent metal cations in a mass percentage of (50-55)%: 30%: (15-20)%.
[0009] As a preferred solution, the divalent metal cation is Ca 2+ Mg 2+ 、Zn 2+ and Pb 2+ At least one of the following. The divalent metal ions selected in the present invention have properties such as high solubility, relatively low cost, and safe use. If the divalent metal cations are replaced with monovalent metal cations, the colloidal complex cannot be effectively formed, thereby reducing the removal effect of calcium and magnesium.
[0010] The present invention also provides a flotation method for high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore. The method comprises the following steps: subjecting the raw ore of the high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore to grinding and pulping to obtain ore pulp; adding a sulfiding agent and a xanthate collector to the ore pulp for forward flotation of copper and cobalt to obtain a foam concentrate I and a middling; using the middling ore for reverse flotation of calcium-magnesium gangue minerals using the combined collector according to any one of claims 1 to 3 to obtain an underflow concentrate II and tailings; and combining the foam concentrate I and the underflow concentrate II to obtain a copper-cobalt oxide concentrate.
[0011] The high-calcium-magnesium oxide copper-cobalt ore targeted by the present invention has a high calcium and magnesium grade, and gangue intercalates and encapsulates cobalt and copper, inhibiting copper and cobalt during flotation. Furthermore, the oxidation rate of copper and cobalt is high and the floatability is poor. Consequently, the prior art requires a complex forward flotation process and high leaching acid consumption to recover copper and cobalt resources. The present invention proposes a "forward and reverse mixed flotation" process, which involves first performing forward flotation on copper and cobalt minerals, and then using reverse flotation combined with a special combined collector to remove the calcium-magnesium gangue minerals. During the forward flotation process, a sulfiding agent is added to convert copper oxide and cobalt oxide into copper sulfide and cobalt sulfide that are easily captured by xanthate collectors, improving their floatability. Furthermore, all concentrates are utilized during the forward flotation process, while the tailings can enter reverse flotation. This effectively solves the problem of copper and cobalt resources running away from the tailings during forward flotation in the prior art, achieving efficient separation of copper-cobalt minerals and calcium-magnesium gangue minerals.
[0012] At the same time, the flotation process of the present invention can characteristically adsorb on the surface sites of calcium magnesium gangue minerals by using reverse flotation operations in combination with collectors, thereby increasing the hydrophobicity of the mineral surface and deeply removing most of the acid-consuming calcium magnesium minerals, thereby significantly reducing the acid consumption in the leaching process.
[0013] As a preferred solution, the calcium and magnesium grades of the high calcium and magnesium oxide copper-cobalt ore are both greater than 8%, and the oxidation rate is greater than 90%. The oxide copper-cobalt ore used in the present invention has high calcium and magnesium grades, high oxidation rates of copper and cobalt, and poor floatability.
[0014] As a preferred solution, the fineness of the grinding treatment is -0.074 mm, accounting for 55% to 85%; the concentration of the ore pulp is 20 to 50 wt%.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the sulfiding agent includes at least one of sodium sulfide and sodium hydrosulfide; and the xanthate includes at least one of propyl xanthate, butyl xanthate, and amyl xanthate. Further preferably, the sulfiding agent is sodium hydrosulfide, and the xanthate collector is amyl xanthate.
[0016] As a preferred solution, the forward flotation process includes three roughing steps, including: subjecting the ore pulp to a first roughing stage to obtain a first rougher concentrate and a first rougher tailing; subjecting the first rougher tailing to a second roughing stage to obtain a second rougher concentrate and a second rougher tailing; subjecting the second rougher tailing to a third roughing stage to obtain a third rougher concentrate and a third rougher tailing; combining the first rougher concentrate, the second rougher concentrate, and the third rougher concentrate to obtain a froth concentrate I; and the third rougher tailing is the middlings. Currently, the industrial treatment method for copper-cobalt oxide ores is often a combined dressing and smelting process, i.e., beneficiation followed by wet leaching. Because the flotation concentrate must undergo wet leaching, the requirements for the flotation concentrate grade are not very high, primarily due to acid consumption and production costs, so no additional dressing process is required in the flotation process.
[0017] As a preferred solution, the reagent system for the first roughing is: 500-700 g / t of vulcanizing agent, 600-800 g / t of xanthate collector, and 20-50 g / t of foaming agent; the reagent system for the second roughing is: 100-200 g / t of vulcanizing agent, 300-400 g / t of xanthate collector; and the reagent system for the third roughing is: 50-100 g / t of vulcanizing agent, and 100-200 g / t of xanthate collector.
[0018] As a preferred solution, the foaming agent is a common foaming agent type, such as 2# oil.
[0019] As a preferred solution, the reverse flotation includes a roughing step, and the reagent system is as follows: the combined collector dosage is 500-1000 g / t.
[0020] As a preferred solution, the copper-cobalt oxide concentrate is subjected to wet leaching to obtain copper-cobalt.
[0021] The present invention provides a flotation method for high-calcium-magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore, comprising the following steps:
[0022] S1. Crushing and grinding the high calcium magnesium oxide copper cobalt ore into pulp;
[0023] S2. Using the "sulfide - xanthate" method for positive flotation of useful copper and cobalt minerals to obtain foam concentrate I and middlings;
[0024] S3. The middlings are then reverse-floated using a combined collector to obtain underflow concentrate II and tailings;
[0025] S4. The foam concentrate I and the underflow concentrate II are mixed to form a copper-cobalt oxide concentrate, with copper and cobalt recoveries greater than 90%; the tailings are sent to the tailings pond;
[0026] S5. Wet leaching the copper-cobalt oxide concentrate, wherein the copper-cobalt leaching rate reaches over 90% and the leaching acid consumption is 20-60 kg / t·feed ore.
[0027] As a preferred solution, the grade of the middling copper is greater than 0.2%.
[0028] As a preferred solution, the wet leaching conditions are: leaching temperature is room temperature, leaching time is 1 to 4 hours, liquid-solid ratio (L / Kg) is (3 to 5):1, leaching endpoint pH is 1.5 to 2.0, and the leaching reagent is sulfuric acid.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0030] (1) The "direct and reverse mixed flotation" process of high calcium and magnesium copper-cobalt oxide ore provided by the present invention first performs forward flotation to separate useful copper and cobalt minerals, and then uses reverse flotation to remove calcium and magnesium gangue minerals. Compared with the existing forward flotation process of copper and cobalt oxide ore, this process can solve the problem of copper and cobalt resources running off during forward flotation, increase the copper and cobalt recovery rate by 10% or more, and efficiently separate useful minerals from calcium and magnesium gangue minerals, with a simple process.
[0031] (2) The combined collector provided by the present invention for the calcium-magnesium gangue mineral dolomite can be synergistically adsorbed on the dolomite surface through the carboxyl, ester and aldehyde groups in the oxidized paraffin soap and sodium oleate, thereby enhancing the hydrophobicity of the surface; and the divalent metal cations further strengthen the adsorption of the collector on the dolomite surface by forming a colloidal complex, thereby significantly improving the flotation efficiency of the calcium-magnesium gangue mineral dolomite; and the dosage is small, the cost is low, and the use is safe.
[0032] (3) The flotation process provided by the present invention can significantly reduce the acid consumption and production cost of the wet leaching process, solving the problems of high acid consumption, low leaching rate and high production cost in the existing process.
