Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral processing engineering, and in particular relates to a lead-zinc ore flotation method for strengthening the recovery of micro-fine galena. Background Art
[0002] Lead metal has excellent properties such as low melting point, high density and high plasticity, and is widely used in the fields of automobiles, electronics, batteries, and construction. Lead sulfide minerals represented by galena are the main source of lead metal recovery. With the vigorous development of high-grade and easily recoverable lead sulfide resources, the current lead sulfide resources have shown the characteristics of "poor, fine and mixed", and the ore types and compositions are complex. Lead sulfide minerals such as galena are finely embedded, and the fineness of the grinding product needs to be increased to obtain monomer-dissociated galena particles. At the same time, galena is brittle and prone to over-grinding during the grinding process, resulting in the production of a large amount of fine galena. Due to the small particle size and low momentum of fine galena, it is difficult for its surface to break through the hydration film and attach to the bubble surface and float after being adsorbed by the collector. Therefore, this type of fine galena cannot be efficiently recovered. Develop efficient flotation recovery technology for fine galena to improve the utilization rate of lead resources.
