Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of mineral processing, and particularly relates to a collector for quartz positive and reverse flotation, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important industrial raw material, quartz is widely used, and is currently not limited to traditional glass products and other fields, but also begins to be applied to quartz plate, photovoltaic glass sand and other fields. In recent years, with the substantial increase in the production and consumption of quartz plates, the supply of quartz powder cannot meet the demand, and the market price of quartz powder is high. Therefore, in order to meet the development of the industry, the purification technology of quartz ore 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 quartz ore with low quality and complex properties, the traditional hydrofluoric acid method uses hydrofluoric acid as an activator for feldspar, uses a cationic collector, and preferentially selects feldspar under acidic slurry conditions, so as to achieve the flotation separation of quartz and feldspar. Although the hydrofluoric acid method is mature in technology and has significant separation effect, it is not recognized by industrial production due to the great harm of hydrofluoric acid to the human body and the bad influence on the environment. At present, the non-fluorine acid method is commonly used. In this process, strong acid is used to adjust the pH value of the slurry without adding hydrofluoric acid, and a single amine collector or a combination of cationic and anionic collectors is used to preferentially select feldspar, so as to realize the separation of quartz and feldspar. However, there are some problems such as large amount of reagent, high cost, large viscosity of flotation foam, poor separation effect, difficult wastewater treatment and the like. The traditional "non-fluorine and non-acid" method for flotation separation of feldspar and quartz has the problems of low efficiency and poor selectivity.

[0004] In the research on the comprehensive recovery and utilization of quartz resources in granite tailings, the main minerals in lepidolite tailings are quartz and feldspar, and the flotation pH is usually 10-12. Single amine collector is usually used to float lepidolite under acidic conditions, but the amine collector has strong collecting ability and poor selectivity, and the concentrate grade and recovery rate are low, and a large amount of alkaline reagent needs to be added to neutralize the acidic flotation environment for subsequent tailings flotation of quartz. However, when the combination of cationic and anionic collectors is used to float lepidolite, it is a weak alkaline environment, and the tailings can be directly floated for quartz, thereby reducing the cost of reagents.

[0005] Research shows that the separation of quartz and feldspar in lithium mica tailings can be achieved by using anionic and cationic collectors. The anionic collector sodium oleate activates feldspar in the adsorption active region of the amine cationic collector, making the floatability of quartz and feldspar more different. Chinese invention patent CN117101872A proposes a method for separating quartz and feldspar by alkali method and a collector, which uses anionic and cationic collectors. The SiO2 content of the quartz concentrate is 96%, but the grade still does not meet the quality requirements of quartz concentrate; Chinese invention patent CN117258995B uses a flotation-thermal pressure acid leaching process, and the SiO2 content of the quartz concentrate is 99.95%, but the process uses hydrofluoric acid mixed acid for thermal pressure acid leaching, which does not meet the green environmental protection concept. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a collector that can be used for quartz direct and reverse flotation, and a process method for separating feldspar and quartz that is fluoride-free, has high industrial application feasibility, complete process, and is green and efficient, which is of great significance to the comprehensive recovery and utilization of non-metallic resources in tailings.
