Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ore flotation technology, specifically to a method for beneficiating high calcite-type fluorite ore. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorite is a strategically important non-metallic mineral resource with applications spanning traditional and emerging industries such as metallurgy, chemicals, building materials, ceramics, aviation, refrigeration, pharmaceuticals, nuclear energy, and fluorochemicals. In recent years, the demand for fluorite has been increasing due to the growing demand from industries such as new energy, new materials, and fluorochemicals. my country possesses abundant reserves of associated and co-occurring fluorite resources, with enormous potential for development and utilization. However, this type of ore has a low fluorite content and complex properties. Besides quartz, the main gangue minerals include calcite (CaCO3), celestite (SrSO4), and barite (BaSO4). Calcite (CaCO3) and fluorite (CaF2) are closely associated and share very similar properties, making separation difficult. Furthermore, the higher the calcite content, the harder it is to obtain high-grade fluorite products. Existing technologies commonly use calcite inhibitors such as acidified water glass, tannin, maltodextrin, and carboxymethyl cellulose, which have some inhibitory effect on calcite, but none can effectively separate fluorite from calcite. The patent with publication number CN103706485B provides a beneficiation method for high-calcium carbonate fluorite ore. This method uses tannic acid as an inhibitor, but this reagent is expensive and difficult to apply industrially. In addition, the acid leaching process using hydrofluoric acid is relatively dangerous and difficult to operate in actual production.

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to design a beneficiation method for high calcite-type fluorite ore to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, this application provides a beneficiation method for high calcite-type fluorite ore, which aims to solve the technical problem that it is not easy to separate carbonate minerals from fluorite ore resources in low-grade fluorite ore containing high-grade carbonate minerals.

[0005] This application provides a method for beneficiating high-calcite fluorite ore, including the following steps:

[0006] S1. After crushing the target ore, it is then made into a slurry;

[0007] S2. The slurry is subjected to roughing, scavenging and cleaning operations to finally obtain fluorite concentrate;

[0008] The reagents added during the roughing process include: alkali, acidified water glass, inhibitor CD-8, and collector CK-1;

[0009] The reagents added during scavenging include acidified water glass and collector CK-1;

[0010] The agents added during the selection process include one or more of the inhibitor CD-8 and acidified water glass;

[0011] The collector CK-1 includes two or more of the following: alpha-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid.

[0012] The inhibitor CD-8 includes two or more of hydroxypropyl starch, propylene glycol alginate, and locust bean gum.

[0013] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, by adding a specially formulated highly selective fluorite collector CK-1 and a calcite inhibitor CD-8 to high-calcite fluorite ore, and combining it with soda ash, acidified water glass reagents, and a roughing-scavenging-cleaning process, the problem of low fluorite recovery rate and grade due to the difficulty in separating calcite and fluorite during flotation is solved. Specifically, the specially formulated collector CK-1 chemically adsorbs strongly onto the surface of Ca ions. Compared to traditional collectors, this collector significantly reduces the amount adsorbed on the calcite surface, thus enhancing the difference in floatability between fluorite and calcite and reducing reagent costs. The inhibitor CD-8 chemically adsorbs onto the calcite surface and forms a hydrophilic film on the calcite surface, which can hinder the adsorption of hydrophobic collectors, thereby inhibiting calcite and enhancing the selective inhibition ability for high-calcite fluorite ore.

[0038] In existing technologies, tannic acid is used as a depressant and oleic acid as a collector in the flotation of high-calcium carbonate fluorite ores. However, tannic acid is expensive and difficult to use industrially, and the flotation process requires acid leaching with hydrofluoric acid, which is a dangerous process and difficult to operate in actual production. Furthermore, oleic acid has poor selectivity, making it difficult to separate fluorite from calcite. Therefore, it is particularly important to provide a separation method that can efficiently recover fluorite concentrate from low-grade fluorite ores containing high carbonate mineral content while controlling reagent costs.

[0039] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a beneficiation method for high-calcite fluorite ore. In this method, a specially formulated highly selective fluorite collector CK-1 and a calcite inhibitor CD-8 are added to the high-calcite fluorite ore, along with soda ash, acidified water glass reagents, and a roughing-scavenging-cleaning process to achieve effective separation of calcite and fluorite, thereby ensuring the effective recovery of subsequent fluorite concentrate.

[0041] S1. After crushing the target ore, it is then made into a slurry with a concentration of 30-35%.

[0046] The mass ratio of arachidonic acid to docosapentaenoic acid in the collector CK-1 is 20-40:30-55; or

[0047] The mass ratio of alpha-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid in the collector CK-1 is 15–30:20–40:30–55; and / or

[0048] The mass ratio of hydroxypropyl starch to propylene glycol alginate in the inhibitor CD-8 is 20–40:20–40; or

[0049] The mass ratio of propylene glycol alginate to locust bean gum in the inhibitor CD-8 is 20-40:20-40.

[0050] The mass ratio of propylene glycol alginate to locust bean gum in the inhibitor CD-8 is 20–40:20–40; or

[0051] The mass ratio of hydroxypropyl starch, propylene glycol alginate, and locust bean in the inhibitor CD-8 is 20-40:20-40:20-40;

[0052] The alkali includes soda ash and sodium hydroxide; during roughing, the amount of soda ash used is 800-1200 g / t, the amount of acidified water glass used is 800-1200 g / t, the amount of inhibitor CD-8 used is 300-700 g / t, and the amount of collector CK-1 used is 300-700 g / t.

[0053] The reagents added during scavenging include acidified water glass and collector CK-1. During scavenging I, the dosage of acidified water glass is 300-700 g / t, and the dosage of collector CK-1 is 30-70 g / t. During scavenging II, the dosage of acidified water glass is 200-300 g / t, and the dosage of collector CK-1 is 20-30 g / t.

[0054] The selection process includes selection I, selection II, selection III, selection IV, selection V, selection VI, and selection VII. The reagents added during selection I include the inhibitor CD-8 and acidified water glass. The dosage of the inhibitor CD-8 during selection I is 200-300 g / t, and the dosage of acidified water glass is 700-900 g / t.

[0055] The reagents added during the purification processes II, III, IV, V, and VI include acidified water glass; the dosages of acidified water glass added during purification processes II, III, IV, V, and VI are 600–700 g / t, 450–550 g / t, 300–400 g / t, 100–200 g / t, and 60–100 g / t, respectively.

[0056] The collector CK-1 includes two or more of the following: alpha-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid.

[0057] The inhibitor CD-8 includes two or more of hydroxypropyl starch, propylene glycol alginate, and locust bean gum.

[0058] Each flotation process takes 2 to 3 minutes.

[0059] By adding a specially formulated, highly selective fluorite collector CK-1 and a calcite inhibitor CD-8 to high-calcite fluorite ore, along with soda ash, acidified water glass reagents, and a roughing-scavenging-cleaning process, the problem of low fluorite recovery and grade due to the difficulty in separating calcite and fluorite caused by their extremely similar properties during flotation was solved. The specially formulated collector CK-1 chemically adsorbs onto the surface of Ca ions. Compared to traditional collectors, this collector significantly reduces the amount adsorbed on the calcite surface, thus exhibiting good selectivity for calcite, enhancing the difference in floatability between fluorite and calcite, and reducing reagent costs. The inhibitor CD-8 chemically adsorbs onto the calcite surface and forms a hydrophilic film, hindering the adsorption of hydrophobic collectors and thus inhibiting calcite adsorption. This enhances the selective inhibition capability for high-calcite fluorite ore, which is beneficial for improving the grade of the final phosphate concentrate.

[0060] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the pH value of the acidified water glass is in the range of 1 to 2.

[0061] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the high calcite-type fluorite ore beneficiation method further includes: concentrating, re-selecting, and finely scavenging the middlings I obtained from fine selection I and the middlings II obtained from fine selection II;

[0062] The concentration of intermediate ore I is 18-22%; the concentration of intermediate ore II is 18-22%.

[0063] The reagents added during the re-selection I of middlings I include acidified water glass and collector CK-1; the dosage of acidified water glass during the re-selection I of middlings I is 200-700 g / t, and the dosage of collector CK-1 is 10-30 g / t; the reagents added during the fine scavenging I of middlings I include acidified water glass and collector CK-1; the dosage of acidified water glass during the fine scavenging I of middlings I is 300-400 g / t, and the dosage of collector CK-1 is 5-10 g / t;

[0064] The reagents added during the secondary beneficiation of middlings II include acidified water glass and collector CK-1; the dosage of acidified water glass during secondary beneficiation of middlings II is 300-400 g / t, and the dosage of collector CK-1 is 10-30 g / t; the reagents added during the secondary beneficiation of middlings II include acidified water glass and collector CK-1; the dosage of acidified water glass during secondary beneficiation of middlings II is 100-200 g / t, and the dosage of collector CK-1 is 5-10 g / t.

[0065] By concentrating, re-selecting, and finely scavenging the middlings obtained from the beneficiation process, and by further processing it with appropriate acidified water glass and collector CK-1, fluorite in the ore can be fully floated out, reducing resource waste.

[0066] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, collector CK-1, inhibitor CD-8, soda ash, and acidified water glass are added to the roughing-scavenging-cleaning process of low-grade fluorite ore to enhance the collecting effect of fluorite and the inhibition effect of calcite, thereby achieving effective separation of calcite and fluorite. This is beneficial to obtaining high-grade fluorite concentrate in the end.

[0067] The following are some specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. Where specific techniques or conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they shall be performed in accordance with the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or according to the product instructions.

Furthermore, when the collector CK-1 is composed of alpha-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid, and the inhibitor CD-8 is composed of hydroxypropyl starch, propylene glycol alginate, and locust bean gum, a fluorite concentrate with a CaF2 content of up to 98.34% can be obtained, with a recovery rate of up to 84.36%.

[0114] In summary, the beneficiation method for high-calcite fluorite ore provided by this invention solves the problem of low fluorite recovery and grade caused by the difficulty in separating calcite and fluorite due to their similar properties during flotation. This is achieved by adding a specially formulated high-selectivity fluorite collector CK-1 and a calcite inhibitor CD-8 to the high-calcite fluorite ore, along with soda ash, acidified water glass reagents, and a roughing-scavenging-cleaning process. The specially formulated collector CK-1 chemically adsorbs onto the surface of Ca ions. Compared to traditional collectors, this collector significantly reduces the amount adsorbed on the calcite surface, thus enhancing the difference in floatability between fluorite and calcite and reducing reagent costs. The inhibitor CD-8 chemically adsorbs onto the calcite surface and forms a hydrophilic film on the calcite surface, hindering the adsorption of the collector and thus inhibiting calcite adsorption. This synergistic effect of the combined reagents enhances the selective inhibition capability for high-calcite fluorite ore.
