Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of magnesite direct flotation separation and purification, and particularly relates to a preparation of an inhibitor DYL and a method for removing silicon and calcium from magnesite by direct flotation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Magnesium is one of the light metals with the largest total resources on the earth, and has a density of 1.74 g / cm 3 , certain ductility and heat dissipation. Its damping performance is superior, and it has high specific strength and is easy to recycle and reuse, so that magnesium, magnesium alloy and magnesium products are widely used in refractory materials, medical treatment, military industry, aviation, automobile and instrument fields.

[0003] One of the main sources of the magnesium industry chain is magnesite. Magnesite is an advantageous mineral resource in China, and 80% to 90% of the magnesite is used to manufacture refractory materials, which has high development and utilization value. At present, the magnesite sold by enterprises in China mainly is low-end product, and the research and development technology for high-end product with high purity is not mature enough, so that rich ore is continuously mined in recent years, low-grade magnesite is discarded, and high-quality magnesite is almost exhausted. The exploitation and utilization of low-grade magnesite resources have become the most important development trend at present, and therefore, it is of great significance to improve the beneficiation technology, change the low-grade magnesite into valuable resources, solve the shortage of high-grade magnesite resources and promote the sustainable development of magnesite resources.

[0004] Most of the domestic concentrators adopt the flotation method to separate the magnesite, and the main purification task of the magnesite is to remove the calcium carbonate and silicate minerals in the ore, that is, to remove the calcium carbonate gangue mineral such as dolomite and calcite, and the silicate mineral such as quartz, talc and serpentine. The calcium carbonate gangue will form calcium silicate after calcination, and the refractory material will be easily broken when cooling down. The silicate mineral will form fusible silicate in the subsequent calcination process, and the strength of the refractory material will be reduced. Therefore, the calcium-containing gangue and silicon-containing gangue determine the separation quality of the magnesite to a great extent. The mass fraction of CaO and SiO2 in the third-grade magnesite is required to be less than 1.5%, and the mass fraction of CaO and SiO2 in the special-grade magnesite is required to be less than 0.6%. In actual production, the amine collector is generally used for reverse flotation to remove part of the silicon-containing gangue, so as to reduce the purification pressure of the subsequent direct flotation of the magnesite, and the inhibitor for inhibiting silicon and calcium is used in the direct flotation to further purify the magnesite, so that a good separation effect can be obtained.

[0005] With the bauxite ore fine miscellaneous, the ore separation difficulty is further increased, therefore, it is very important to develop a new type of high efficiency flotation reagent applied to bauxite beneficiation. The depressor (referred to as DYL) not only has good inhibitory effect on calcium-containing and silicon-containing gangue minerals, but also has profound reference value in simplifying the flotation process, reducing production cost, solving the problem of high-grade bauxite resource shortage and promoting the sustainable development of bauxite resources in production operation. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a new type of depressor for bauxite direct flotation synchronous desiliconization and calcium and its application method in bauxite direct flotation. The depressor DYL is compounded with HCA (hydroxyl citric acid) and dextrin at a mass ratio of 1:1. In the direct flotation process, the calcium-containing gangue minerals and silicon-containing gangue minerals can be effectively inhibited at the same time, and the concentrate can have high purity and recovery rate.

[0007] The method for using the depressor DYL in bauxite direct flotation synchronous desiliconization and calcium is used as a depressor for bauxite, dolomite and talc flotation separation in the process of bauxite direct flotation desiliconization and calcium flotation.

[0008] A preparation method of a depressor DYL comprises the following steps:

[0009] The HCA solid powder is dissolved in deionized water, and after constant volume, an HCA dilute solution with a mass concentration of 0.5% to 5% is prepared. The dextrin solid powder is added with sodium hydroxide, and after adding deionized water, it is put into a constant temperature water bath pot and heated to dissolve the dextrin solid powder. After constant volume, a dextrin dilute solution with a mass concentration of 0.5% to 5% is prepared. Finally, the HCA dilute solution and the dextrin dilute solution with the same mass concentration are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1 to obtain the depressor DYL.

[0010] Further, the amount of sodium hydroxide added is 10% to 30% of the mass of the dextrin solid powder, and the temperature of the constant temperature water bath pot is kept between 50 DEG C and 90 DEG C.

[0011] A method for using a depressor DYL in bauxite direct flotation desiliconization and calcium comprises the following steps:

[0012] S1: Take the bauxite pure mineral in the particle size interval of -74+38 μm, add deionized water to dissolve, and prepare the ore slurry for flotation test, and put it into a flotation tank;

[0013] S2: Put the flotation tank containing the ore slurry on the flotation machine to stir, so that the pure mineral particles are uniformly distributed in the ore slurry;

[0014] S3: adjust the ore slurry to a set pH value with an HCl solution or a NaOH solution, and stir for 1-3 min at the pH value;

[0015] S4: add an inhibitor DYL, and allow the reagent to fully react with the mineral surface for 1-3 min;

[0016] S5: add a collector, and allow the reagent to fully react with the mineral surface for 1-3 min, the collector being one or two of sodium oleate, oxidized paraffin soap, petroleum sulfonate sodium, and benzenecarboxyhydroxamic acid, and the pH value being kept constant during the addition of the reagent;

[0017] S6: after the reagent fully acts, manually scrape the froth for 3-5 min, and then put the obtained froth product and tank bottom product into an oven for drying, weighing, calculating the recovery rate, and testing the MgO, CaO, and SiO2 contents.

[0018] In the step S1, the pure mineral MgO content of the magnesite is 43.1%-47.8% by weight, the CaO content is 0.1%-0.6% by weight, the SiO2 content is 0.01%-0.2% by weight, the Al2O3 content is 0.1%-0.3% by weight, and the TFe content is 0.1% by weight; and the pure mineral SiO2 content of the talc is 61.78%-63.37% by weight, the MgO content is 31.01%-31.88% by weight, the Al2O3 content is 0.1%-0.2% by weight, and the TFe content is 0.1% by weight.

[0019] In the step S1, the pure mineral of the magnesite is selected from one or more of magnesite, dolomite, and talc, and when multiple minerals are added, the mass ratio of the magnesite, the dolomite, and the talc is (1-16):1:1.

[0020] In the step S1, the concentration of the ore slurry is 0.050-0.080 g / mL.

[0021] In the step S2, the stirring speed of the flotation machine is 1900-2100 r / min, and the stirring time is 1-3 min.

[0022] In the step S3, the mass concentration of the HCl solution is 0.1%-5%, and the mass concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.1%-5%; and the pH value ranges from 7 to 12.

[0023] In the step S4, the amount of the inhibitor DYL is 100-350 mg / L.

[0024] The amount of sodium oleate in the step S5 is 33-150 mg / L, the amount of oxidized paraffin soap is 120 mg / L-150 mg / L, the amount of sodium petroleum sulfonate is 210 mg / L-360 mg / L, and the amount of benzohydroxamic acid is 100 mg / L-150 mg / L.

[0025] In the single mineral test by using the method, the magnesite yield is 71.0%-98.4%, and the talc yield is 0.3%-94.4%;

[0026] In the mixed mineral test by using the method, the concentrate yield is 62.91%-86.79%, the MgO content is 46.9%-47.8%, the SiO2 content is 0.1%-0.2%, the CaO content is 0.1%-0.2%, and the MgO recovery rate is 88.9%-93.2%.

[0027] The inhibitor in the application can play the synergistic effect of HCA and curdlan by compounding, and the gangue minerals containing calcium and silicon can be well inhibited, and the influence on the floatability of magnesite is small, so that the application of DYL in positive flotation can improve the beneficiation efficiency and realize one-step removal of CaO and SiO2.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the application has the beneficial effects that:

[0029] 1) The inhibitor DYL selected in the application has high selective inhibition effect on the gangue minerals containing silicon and calcium in positive flotation, and has little influence on the floatability of magnesite, so that the high recovery rate of magnesite is ensured, and the high-efficiency separation of magnesite has important reference value.

[0030] 2) The inhibitor DYL selected in the application can inhibit the floating of the gangue minerals containing calcium and silicon in positive flotation, compared with HCA, HCA can only remove the gangue containing calcium, and another reagent needs to be added to remove the gangue containing silicon, but DYL can remove the gangue containing calcium and silicon at the same time, which simplifies the operation steps in actual production, reduces the production investment, and combines the inhibitors for inhibiting silicon and calcium in one step, so that the beneficiation efficiency can be greatly improved.

[0031] 3) The inhibitor DYL selected in the application is a new reagent compounded by two reagents HCA and curdlan, and HCA and curdlan are used in the food industry, so the reagent DYL is environmentally friendly and has no harm to the environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
