Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of iron ore beneficiation, and specifically relates to a beneficiation method for fine-grained low-grade magnetite ore. The method is particularly suitable for processing magnetite ore with a TFe grade in the range of 20.0% to 25.0%, an mFe grade in the range of 10.0% to 15.0%, a fine iron mineral embedded particle size (the grinding particle size is in the range of -0.038mm particle size content of 90% to 95% for the iron mineral to be dissociated into monomers), and gangue minerals mainly consisting of quartz, silicate and carbonate. Background Art

[0002] Steel is an important foundation for the development of the national economy. Economic growth is inseparable from the demand for iron ore. Improving the utilization rate of iron ore resources is of great significance to the sustainable development of mineral resources and the development of the steel industry.

[0003] In order to improve iron grade and recovery rate during the beneficiation process and make rational use of low-grade, fine-grained, complex and difficult-to-process iron ore, iron ore needs to be crushed, finely ground, magnetically separated, and flotated. In order to effectively convert low-grade, finely embedded, and complexly composed ores into high-grade concentrates, flotation is usually required. Before entering the flotation operation, reasonable fine grinding and magnetic separation processes are crucial for the development of low-grade, finely embedded magnetite ore resources and are key technologies for flotation preparation.

[0004] In terms of magnetic separation, existing weak magnetic separators are highly efficient and simple wet-process equipment for separating fine-grained, strongly magnetic minerals. These separators are characterized by their small size, light weight, and simple operation, making them effective for separating fine-grained, strongly magnetic minerals. However, their separation efficiency is easily affected by factors such as feed size and grade, leading to fluctuations in separation efficiency and unsatisfactory mineral separation performance indicators such as grade and recovery. Due to the limitations of current magnetic separation technology, useful minerals with widely varying particle size compositions and ore properties cannot be effectively separated, thus failing to provide qualified raw materials for subsequent flotation operations. Consequently, flotation performance indicators are difficult to guarantee, impacting the grade and recovery of the final concentrate product.

[0005] In order to solve the technical problem of fine particle magnetite ore dressing, Chinese patent application 201711107180.3 discloses an energy-saving ore dressing method for processing fine particle magnetite: the iron ore is sequentially subjected to first-stage grinding classification, first-stage low-intensity magnetic separation, second-stage grinding classification, second-stage low-intensity magnetic separation, first-stage elutriation magnetic separation, third-stage grinding classification, third-stage low-intensity magnetic separation, and second-stage elutriation magnetic separation. The first-stage elutriation magnetic separation concentrate and the second-stage elutriation magnetic separation concentrate are combined to form a total concentrate, and all the low-intensity magnetic separation tailings are combined to form a total tailings. However, when this ore dressing method is used to process fine particle low-grade refractory magnetite ore with a TFe grade of 20.0% to 25.0%, the final iron concentrate has an iron grade of less than 60%, an iron recovery rate of less than 40%, and a magnetic iron recovery rate of less than 60%.

[0006] In addition, Chinese patent ZL201310560636.7 discloses a Fe-enhancing energy-saving ore dressing process suitable for fine particle magnetite ore dressing. The tailings of the first-stage low-intensity magnetic separation and the tailings of the second-stage low-intensity magnetic separation of the stage grinding and separation process are directly used as the final tailings. The second-stage low-intensity magnetic separation concentrate is fed into a reverse flotation operation. The reverse flotation operation adopts a cationic collector reverse flotation process to obtain part of the qualified iron concentrate in advance. The middlings obtained from the reverse flotation operation are subjected to a magnetic separation and dewatering operation and then fed into a third-stage mill for middlings regrinding and third-stage low-intensity magnetic separation to obtain third-stage low-intensity magnetic separation concentrate. The grinding fineness of the middlings regrinding is greater than or equal to 88% of -0.030 mm. The third-stage low-intensity magnetic separation concentrate and the part of the qualified iron concentrate obtained in advance from the reverse flotation operation are combined to form a comprehensive iron concentrate. The tailings of the third-stage low-intensity magnetic separation are combined with the final tailings to form a total tailings. However, this ore dressing process has a large amount of flotation feed and a large amount of flotation reagent, and it is also difficult to process fine particle low-grade refractory magnetite ore with a TFe grade of 20.0% to 25.0%. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to solve the technical problems of low-grade iron concentrate, low iron recovery rate, large amount of flotation feed, large amount of reagent, poor iron separation and enrichment effect, etc. in the current fine particle low-grade refractory magnetite ore dressing, and to provide a magnetic-flotation combined ore dressing method for fine particle low-grade refractory magnetite ore. When this method is used to process fine particle low-grade refractory magnetite ore, it has the characteristics of high-grade iron concentrate, small amount of flotation feed, high-grade flotation feed, stable indicators, simple production and maintenance, and strong adaptability.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned object of the present invention, a magnetic flotation combined beneficiation method for fine-grained, low-grade, refractory magnetite ore is provided. The method is used to process fine-grained, low-grade, refractory magnetite ore having a TFe grade of 20.0% to 25.0%, an mFe grade of 10.0% to 15.0%, a ratio of Fe to TFe in unrecoverable ferrosilicate of 16% to 25%, a grinding particle size of -0.038 mm, and a content of 90% to 95% of the iron mineral fraction required for the separation of the iron minerals.
