Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral processing engineering, and in particular relates to a collector that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As an important industrial raw material, quartz is widely used. It is not limited to traditional glass products and other fields. It has also begun to be used in quartz plates, photovoltaic glass sand and other fields. In recent years, with the substantial increase in the production and consumption of quartz plates, quartz powder is in short supply and the market price of quartz powder remains high. Therefore, in order to meet the development of the industry, research on the purification technology of quartz ores with complex ore properties and the comprehensive recovery and utilization of quartz resources in granite tailings should be strengthened.

[0003] For the flotation purification of low-quality quartz ores with complex properties, the traditional hydrofluoric acid method uses hydrofluoric acid as the activator of feldspar and a cationic collector to preferentially select feldspar under acidic pulp conditions, thereby achieving the flotation separation of quartz and feldspar. Although the hydrofluoric acid method is mature in technology and has significant separation effects, it is no longer recognized by industrial production because hydrofluoric acid is extremely harmful to the human body and has a bad impact on the environment. At present, the fluorine-free acid method is often used. This process uses strong acid to adjust the pH value of the pulp without adding hydrofluoric acid, and uses a single amine collector or a combination of anions and cations to preferentially select feldspar, thereby achieving the separation of quartz and feldspar. However, some of them have problems such as large dosage of reagents, high cost, high viscosity of flotation foam, poor separation effect, and difficulty in wastewater treatment. The traditional "fluorine-free and acid-free method" for flotation separation of feldspar and quartz has the problems of low efficiency and poor selectivity.

[0004] In the study of comprehensive recovery and utilization of quartz resources in granite tailings, the main minerals in lithium mica tailings are quartz and feldspar, and the flotation pH is usually 10-12. Usually, lithium mica is floated with a single amine collector under acidic conditions, but amine collectors have strong collection capacity and poor selectivity, and the concentrate grade and recovery rate are low. In addition, a large amount of alkaline reagents need to be added to the subsequent tailings flotation quartz to neutralize the acidic flotation environment. However, when using an anion-cation combination collector to float lithium mica, the environment is weakly alkaline, and the tailings can be directly used to float quartz, reducing the cost of reagents.

[0005] Studies have shown that the use of anionic and cationic collectors can achieve the separation of quartz and feldspar in lithium mica tailings. The anionic collector sodium oleate activates feldspar in the adsorption active area of ​​the amine cationic collector, making the floatability of quartz and feldspar more different. Chinese invention patent CN117101872A proposes a quartz feldspar alkali separation method and collector, the reagent adopts anionic and cationic compatibility, the SiO2 content of quartz concentrate is 96%, but this grade still does not meet the quality requirements of quartz concentrate; Chinese invention patent CN117258995B adopts flotation-hot pressing acid leaching process, the SiO2 content of quartz concentrate is 99.95%, but the hot pressing acid leaching of this process adopts hydrofluoric acid mixed acid, which does not conform to the concept of green environmental protection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a collector that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation and a process method for flotation separation of feldspar and quartz that is fluorine-free, has high industrial application feasibility, is complete in process, and is green and efficient, which is of great significance to solving the comprehensive recovery and utilization of non-metallic resources in tailings. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the first object of the present invention is to provide a collector that can be used for forward and reverse flotation of quartz, the collector has strong stability, is easy to disperse, has good selectivity, and has strong adaptability to ore slimes; and in the mineral processing process, the collector can not only float quartz under weak alkaline conditions to achieve effective separation of quartz and feldspar, but also reverse float feldspar under strong acid conditions to achieve efficient purification of quartz, thereby improving the grade and yield of quartz concentrate.

[0007] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the collector that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation.

[0008] The third object of the present invention is to provide an application of the collector that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation.

[0009] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0010] The present invention provides a collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation, which is composed of the following components in parts by weight: 1 to 5 parts of a cationic collector, 7 to 30 parts of an anionic collector, and 10 to 25 parts of an emulsifier;

[0011] The cationic collector is at least one of dodecylamine, coconut oil alkyl primary amine, octadecyl succinamide, and butyrylhydrazide;

[0012] The anionic collector is at least one of oleic acid, oxidized paraffin soap, cyclopentane acid soap, cotton oil soap, rosin soap, and sodium dodecyl sulfate;

[0013] The emulsifier is at least one of caprylic acid monoglyceride, lauric acid monoglyceride, sorbitan monostearate, and tributyl phosphate.

[0014] The collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation can not only float quartz under weak alkaline conditions of pH=9-12, but also reverse float feldspar under strong acid conditions of pH=1.5-3.

[0015] The advantage of this collector is that through the synergistic effect of anionic and cationic collectors and emulsifiers, quartz can be floated under weak alkaline conditions of pH = 9 to 12 to achieve effective separation of quartz and feldspar, and feldspar can be reversely floated under strong acid conditions of pH = 1.5 to 3 to achieve efficient purification of quartz.

[0016] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation, comprising the following steps:

[0017] The cationic collector is dissolved in the emulsifier and stirred to dissolve; the anionic collector is placed in water, heated and stirred to form a 30% aqueous solution; the two are mixed and stirred evenly to obtain the collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation.

[0018] The present invention also provides an application of the collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation in flotation recovery of quartz from quartz ore, lepidolite tailings, spodumene tailings, tantalum-niobium tailings or tungsten-tin tailings.

[0019] In some specific embodiments, based on the application of the collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation to flotation and recover quartz in lepidolite tailings, the application can be followed by the lepidolite weak alkaline flotation process, including: continuing to perform flotation, gravity separation and magnetic separation operations on the lepidolite tailings in sequence.

[0020] Specifically, the lithium mica tailings are floated, including one weak alkali roughing selection, one weak alkali cleaning selection, at least two weak alkali scavenging selections, and at least two strong acid reverse flotation selections.

[0021] Specifically, the weak alkali roughing process includes: sequentially adding a pH adjuster, an inhibitor, an activator and a collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation into the lepidolite tailings slurry, and performing roughing to obtain a roughing concentrate and a roughing tailings.

[0022] Specifically, the weak alkaline scavenging process includes: sequentially adding a pH adjuster, an activator and a collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation to the roughing tailings, and after at least two scavengings, scavenged ore and scavenged tailings are obtained, and the scavenged ore is returned to the previous level process in sequence.

[0023] Specifically, the weak alkali concentration process includes: adding a pH adjuster and an inhibitor to the coarse concentrate, and obtaining a quartz coarse concentrate and a quartz middling after a primary concentration, and the quartz middling is sequentially returned to the previous level process.

[0024] Specifically, the strong acid reverse flotation process includes: adding sulfuric acid and collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation to the quartz rough concentrate in sequence, undergoing at least two strong acid reverse flotations, the flotation tank contains quartz concentrate, and the two reverse flotation foams and weak alkali scavenging tailings are combined into tailings.

[0025] Specifically, the wet magnetic separation intensity of the magnetic separation operation is 0.8-1.4 T, and the magnetic separation time is 15 minutes.

[0026] Specifically, the gravity separation equipment is one of a shaking table and a chute, and the main purpose of the gravity separation operation is to remove topaz from the quartz concentrate.

[0027] Specifically, the pH adjuster is at least one of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide.

[0028] Specifically, the inhibitor is at least one of starch, dextrin, carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium hexametaphosphate, oxalic acid, and water glass.

[0029] Specifically, the activator is one of calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and ferric chloride.

[0030] Specifically, during the weak base roughing, weak base cleaning and weak base scavenging processes, the pH adjuster adjusts the pH of the system to 9-12; during the strong acid reverse flotation process, the pH adjuster adjusts the pH of the system to 1.5-3.

[0031] Specifically, in the weak base roughing, weak base concentrating and weak base scavenging stages, the amount of pH adjuster added is 100-600 g / t.

[0032] In the present invention, g / t refers to the amount of reagent added relative to 1 t of lepidolite ore.

[0033] Specifically, in the weak base roughing, weak base cleaning and weak base scavenging stages, the inhibitor addition amount is 50-200 g / t.

[0034] Specifically, in the weak base roughing, weak base cleaning and weak base scavenging stages, the amount of activator added is 30-250 g / t.

[0035] Specifically, in the weak base roughing, weak base cleaning and weak base scavenging stages, the amount of collector CFLY-6 added is 50-300 g / t.

[0036] Specifically, in the strong acid reverse flotation stage, the amount of sulfuric acid added is 50-200 g / t.

[0037] Specifically, in the strong acid reverse flotation stage, the addition amount of the collector CFLY-6 that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation is 20 to 150 g / t.

[0038] The collector CFLY-6 used for quartz forward and reverse flotation of the present invention, under strong acid conditions, the surface of feldspar is negatively charged, while the surface of quartz is positively charged, the collector can be electrostatically adsorbed to the surface of feldspar, while quartz and the collector are not easily electrostatically adsorbed at this time, thereby achieving quartz flotation purification. Compared with a single collector, CFLY-6 has the characteristics of low surface tension and strong surface activity. After being adsorbed on the mineral surface, the particles are more hydrophobic. Under strong alkaline conditions, the cationic collector components and the anionic collector components are complexed with each other through electrostatic attraction or hydrophobic interaction between carbon chains to form molecule-ion association complexes, which are selectively physically adsorbed on the surface of quartz particles. The surface carbon chain density and height are increased through synergistic effects, making the surface hydrophobic adsorption layer more stable; the emulsifier can transform the collector solution system into a continuous phase structured microemulsion, enhance the content of molecule-ion association complexes in the agent, accelerate the dispersion speed of the agent in the slurry system, and shorten the time it takes for the agent to complete adsorption on the mineral surface. The agent has a good collection effect and significantly improves the recovery rate and grade of quartz concentrate products.

[0039] The method for flotation recovery of quartz in lithium mica tailings based on the collector that can be used for quartz forward and reverse flotation can be directly connected to the lithium mica weak alkaline flotation process without secondary grinding treatment, and has the advantages of low reagent dosage, simple process, high purity of the obtained quartz concentrate, etc. The purity of the quartz concentrate separated from the lithium mica tailings is above 97.5% and can reach 99.5%.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] The collector of the present invention has the advantages of simple preparation, no need for heating and strong stirring, good stability, low temperature resistance, strong selectivity and good dispersion effect. Based on the synergistic effect between the components, the collector can effectively modify the surface of quartz under weak alkaline conditions, promote the hydrophobicity of the surface of quartz ore, thereby realizing the flotation separation of feldspar and quartz; under strong acidic conditions, it can effectively modify the surface of feldspar to achieve whitening and purification of quartz concentrate.
