TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of comprehensive recycling of tailings resources, and particularly relates to a method for grading and quality-based resource utilization of tin mine tailings. BACKGROUND

[0002] The large amount of tin tailings stacking not only occupies land resources, but also causes environmental pollution, safety hazards, and waste of valuable resources, thereby seriously restricting the development of the tin industry.

[0003] Due to different deposit conditions and geological origins of tin mines in different places and different beneficiation processes, the tin tailings produced are also different in nature, but generally contain valuable metal elements such as tin, iron, lead, zinc, silver, and indium, and have high recycling value.

Therefore, it is very important to analyze the properties of different tin tailings and research and promote the comprehensive recycling of tin tailings resources.

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a method for grading and quality resource utilization of tin mine tailings, comprising the following steps:

[0046] (1) The obtained tin mine tailings are sieved by using a screen with a mesh size of 60 mesh to obtain +60 mesh and -60 mesh sieved products 1; then the -60 mesh sieved products 1 are sieved by using a screen with a mesh size of 100 mesh to obtain -60~+100 mesh sieved products 2 and -100 mesh sieved products 2; in this step, the yield of the +100 mesh coarse particle level sieved products is 76.74%, the Si content is greater than 30.3% (the content of SiO2 is greater than 65%), the content of S is 1.31%~1.43% (the content of SO3 is 3.28~3.58%), the content of K is 1.11%, the content of Na is 0.03%, and the mass fraction of potassium oxide and sodium oxide is less than 5%, the +100 mesh coarse particle level sieved products contain +60 mesh sieved products 1 and -60~+100 mesh sieved products 2;

[0047] (2) The +60 mesh sieved products 1 obtained in step (1) are subjected to a circulating rod mill, the first rod milling time is 6 minutes, the subsequent circulating rod milling time is 2 minutes, the rod milling product is sieved by using a 60 mesh sieve, the sieve product is returned to the rod mill, and the circulating rod milling is ended until the yield of the sieve product is less than 15%; after the rod milling is ended, the +60 mesh sieved products 3, -60~+100 mesh sieved products 3 and -100 mesh sieved products 3 are obtained by sieving through a 60 mesh screen and a 100 mesh screen in turn;

[0050] (5) perform table re-beneficiation - middlings re-table of the -100 to +200 mesh screened product 4 obtained in step (4), the table re-beneficiation - middlings re-table process conditions being: stroke 0.8-1.5 cm, frequency 320-380 times / min, bed surface lateral slope 1°30", feed mass concentration 20%, to obtain table tailings 2 and re-beneficiation sulfur and tin concentrate;

[0051] (6) perform reverse flotation of quartz on the table tailings 2 obtained in step (5), using sodium oleate as collector, the reverse flotation feed mass concentration being 30%; add sodium oleate collector to the slurry, the dosage being 200 g / t feed, stir for 3 minutes, then add No. 2 oil as frother, the dosage being 60 g / t feed, stir for 1 minute, scrape froth for 4 minutes, and obtain the flotation concentrate as cement siliceous raw material through reverse flotation; the flotation tailings are discarded;

[0052] (7) perform flotation desulfurization on the re-beneficiation sulfur and tin concentrate obtained in step (5) to obtain sulfur concentrate and tin-containing tailings, the flotation desulfurization including the following steps:

[0053] (a) ball mill activate the re-beneficiation sulfur and tin concentrate for 15 s to obtain a ball-milled product;

[0054] (b) perform roughing on the ball-milled product to obtain roughing concentrate and roughing tailings; the roughing successively adds the following reagents: sodium sulfide 200 g / t feed, copper sulfate 200 g / t feed, butyl xanthate 100 g / t feed + ammonium black 50 g / t feed, No. 2 oil 60 g / t feed;

[0055] (c) performing first scavenging on the roughing tailings to obtain a scavenging concentrate I and a scavenging tailings I; the reagents added in the first scavenging in turn are: copper sulfate 100 g / t of feed, butyl xanthate 50 g / t of feed + butyl ammonium black 25 g / t of feed, No. 2 oil 30 g / t of feed; the scavenging concentrate I is returned to step (b) and combined with the product after ball milling in the next round to perform the roughing step;

[0056] (d) performing second scavenging on the scavenging tailings I to obtain a scavenging concentrate II and a scavenging tailings II; the reagents added in the second scavenging in turn are: butyl xanthate 25 g / t of feed + butyl ammonium black 12.5 g / t of feed, No. 2 oil 15 g / t of feed; the scavenging concentrate II is returned to step (c) and combined with the roughing tailings in the next round to perform the first scavenging step;

[0057] (e) performing third scavenging on the scavenging tailings II to obtain a scavenging concentrate III and a scavenging tailings III; the reagents added in the third scavenging in turn are: butyl xanthate 12.5 g / t of feed + butyl ammonium black 6.25 g / t of feed, No. 2 oil 15 g / t of feed; the scavenging concentrate III is returned to step (d) and combined with the scavenging tailings I in the next round to perform the second scavenging step; the scavenging tailings III is a tin-containing tailings.

[0058] (f) performing sulfur concentration on the roughing concentrate to obtain a sulfur concentrate and a concentration tailings; the concentration tailings is returned to step (b) and combined with the product after ball milling in the next round to perform the roughing step; no reagent is added in the sulfur concentration.

[0059] In the one-roughing-one-concentration-three-scavenging flotation operation, the stirring time after adding each reagent is 3 minutes, except for the frother No. 2 oil, the stirring time after adding the frother is 1 minute, the froth scraping time in the roughing is 4 minutes, and the froth scraping times in the first, second, third scavenging and sulfur concentration are 3 minutes respectively.

[0060] The indexes of the coarse-grained siliceous product, the cement siliceous raw material, the sulfur concentrate and the tin-containing tailings obtained by the method of the present application are as follows:

[0061] The coarse-grained siliceous product is composed of two parts: 1) the S content of +60 mesh screened product 3 is reduced to 0.53% (equivalent to SO3 content of 1.325%, <2%), and the total yield is 6.08%; 2) the S content of the shaking table tailings is 0.69% (equivalent to SO3 content of 1.725%, <2%), and the yield is 44.02%.

[0062] The total yield of the coarse-grained siliceous product is 50.10%, the sulfur content is 0.67%, the fine particle modulus is 1.46, which is a special fine sand, the loose bulk density is 1280 g / cm 3 , the tight packing density is 1390 g / cm 3 , which meets the requirements of qualified products for building products.

[0063] The yield of cement silica raw materials was 7.59%, the Si grade was 37.31%, and the S grade was 0.18%, which met the requirements for cement silica raw material products.

[0064] The yield of sulfur concentrate was 4.89%, and the sulfur grade was 29.66%.

[0065] The tin grade in the tin-bearing tailings is 0.3%, which has low recovery value and is disposed of as tailings.

[0066] Screening of coarse-grained silica products

[0067] Comparative Example 1:

[0068] This comparative example does not use the rod milling process in step (2). Instead, the -60 mesh to +100 mesh sieved product 2 obtained in step (1) of Example 1 is directly sieved through an 80 mesh screen. The -60 to +80 mesh and -80 to +100 mesh samples are then subjected to shaking table gravity separation, and the shake table tailings are coarse-grained siliceous product 1 and coarse-grained siliceous product 2.

[0069] The sulfur contents of coarse-grained siliceous product 1 and coarse-grained siliceous product 2 obtained in this comparative example were 1.02% and 0.94%, respectively, which did not meet the sulfur content requirements for qualified building sand.

[0070] The -60 to +80 mesh and -80 to +100 mesh samples obtained by sieving the original samples cannot be directly desulfurized into coarse particles. This is due to the incomplete dissociation of sulfide minerals.

[0071] This demonstrates the superiority of the present invention's process of using a rod mill to perform cyclic rod milling on the +60 mesh screened product 1, followed by reasonable grading, merging, and shaking table reselection.

[0072] Screening of cement siliceous raw materials and recovery of sulfur concentrate

[0073] Comparative Example 2:

[0074] A desulfurization experiment using a "one coarse, three scavenging" process was conducted on the -100 mesh sieve product 2 obtained in step (1) and the -100 mesh sieve product 3 obtained in step (2) in Example 1 to investigate the desulfurization effect of flotation. The experimental flowchart is shown below. Figure 3 As shown:

[0075] The reagents added sequentially in the roughing process are: "activator variable", 200 g / t xanthate in feed, and 60 g / t oil of No. 2 in feed; the activation schemes for the "activator variable" are 200 g / t copper sulfate in feed, 400 g / t sulfuric acid in feed, and 200 g / t copper sulfate in feed + 200 g / t sulfuric acid in feed; the roughing concentrate and roughing tailings are obtained, and the roughing tailings enter the first scavenging process;

[0076] The added reagents in the first cleaning are "activator variable", butyl xanthate 100 g / t feed, and No. 2 oil 30 g / t feed; the activation schemes of the "activator variable" are copper sulfate 200 g / t feed, sulfuric acid 400 g / t feed, copper sulfate 200 g / t feed + sulfuric acid 200 g / t feed, respectively; the middling 1 and the first cleaning tailings are obtained, and the first cleaning tailings enter the second cleaning;

[0077] The added reagents in the second cleaning are butyl xanthate 50 g / t feed and No. 2 oil 15 g / t feed; the second cleaning middling and the second cleaning tailings are obtained.

[0078] The added reagents in the third cleaning are butyl xanthate 25 g / t feed and No. 2 oil 15 g / t feed; the third cleaning middling and the third cleaning tailings are obtained.

[0079] The second cleaning middling and the third cleaning middling are combined to obtain the middling 2.

[0080] In the flotation operation of one roughing and three cleanings, the stirring time after adding each reagent is 3 minutes except for the frother No. 2 oil, the stirring time after adding the frother is 1 minute, the froth scraping time of the roughing is 4 minutes, and the froth scraping times of the first cleaning, the second cleaning and the third cleaning are 3 minutes, respectively.

[0081] When copper sulfate is used as a single activator, the operation recovery rate of S in the roughing concentrate is 40.28%, and the S grade in the third cleaning tailings is reduced to 2.15%;

[0082] When sulfuric acid is used as a single activator, the operation recovery rate of S in the roughing concentrate is 51.18%, and the S grade in the third cleaning tailings is reduced to 2.24%;

[0083] When copper sulfate and sulfuric acid are used in combination, the S content and grade in the desulfurization tailings are higher than those of the single activator. However, the sulfur content does not meet the requirement of the cement batching siliceous raw material.

[0084] The comparative example shows that the "classification-shaking table gravity separation-middling re-shaking-quartz reverse flotation" cement siliceous raw material recovery process of the embodiment is more effective than single flotation.

[0085] Comparative Example 3

[0086] Compared with Comparative Example 2, the only difference is that the sample is subjected to flotation desliming before roughing, and the experimental flow chart is as shown in Figure 4

[0087] Desliming: the amount of No. 2 oil is 60 g / t feed, the stirring time is 3 minutes, and the desliming flotation time is 5 minutes. ​

[0088] After adding the flotation desliming process, the loss rate of S in the flotation slurry is very low, only about 1%. When the dosage of copper sulfate is 200 g / t of feed, the S operating recovery rate of the roughing concentrate is 64.43%, and the S grade is 35.41%. The S operating recovery rate of the concentrate is more than 10 points higher than before, and the S grade of the third scavenging tailings can be reduced from about 2.2% to 1.4%, which can significantly improve the flotation desulfurization effect. It shows that under the condition of single flotation, using flotation desliming is beneficial to flotation desulfurization.

[0089] Comparative Example 4:

[0090] Compared with Comparative Example 3, the only difference is that sodium sulfide is added as a sulfidizing agent, and the dosage is 200 g / t of feed. The S grade of the flotation tailings is 0.51%, and the S operating recovery rate is 5.83%. It can be seen that the S grade and recovery rate of the tailings obtained by using copper sulfate (combined with sodium sulfide) activator flotation are the lowest, and the flotation desulfurization effect is the best.

[0091] Comparative Example 5:

[0092] The -100 to +200 mesh screening product 4 obtained by screening in step (4) of Example 1 was used to investigate the separation effect of flotation desulfurization-quartz reverse flotation, and the experimental flowcharts are shown in Figure 5

[0093] Ball milling: the -100 to +200 mesh screening product 4 was ball milled for 15 s to obtain a ball-milled product; the ball-milled product was subjected to “one roughing and three scavenging → reverse flotation” experiment;

[0094] The roughing was added with the reagents in turn: copper sulfate 200 g / t of feed, butyl xanthate 200 g / t of feed + ammonium black 100 g / t of feed, No. 2 oil 60 g / t of feed; the roughing tailings were taken for the first scavenging;

[0095] The first scavenging was added with the reagents: copper sulfate 100 g / t of feed, butyl xanthate 100 g / t of feed + ammonium black 50 g / t of feed, No. 2 oil 30 g / t of feed; the first scavenging tailings were taken for the second scavenging;

[0096] The second scavenging was added with the reagents: butyl xanthate 50 g / t of feed + ammonium black 25 g / t of feed, No. 2 oil 15 g / t of feed; the second scavenging tailings were taken for the third scavenging;

[0098] ​Reverse flotation: sodium oleate 200 g / t feed, No. 2 oil 60 g / t feed; obtain siliceous raw materials and tailings, tailings are discarded. The slurry of the combined roughing, first scavenging, second scavenging and third scavenging except tailings is obtained to obtain a sulfur-containing product. The siliceous raw material yield is 7.21%, the Si, S and Sn grades are 36.76%, 0.26% and 0.13% respectively, the yield of the sulfur-containing product is 2.57, and the grade is 35.10%, all of which are lower than the gravity desulfurization-quartz reverse flotation process of the scheme of the application in Example 1. It is proved that the gravity-flotation combined process of the application has excellent performance in recovering siliceous materials and sulfur concentrates.

[0099] In this embodiment, the main purpose of roughing is to remove large pieces of ore and inclusions, and to improve the grade and recovery rate of the ore. The roughing method is gravity separation, which separates the ore and gangue by the difference in specific gravity. The roughing equipment mainly includes spiral classifier, jig, shaking table, etc.

[0100] The main purpose of cleaning is to remove fine-grained ore and inclusions, and to improve the grade and recovery rate of the ore. The cleaning method is magnetic separation, which separates the ore and magnetic minerals by the difference in magnetism. The cleaning equipment mainly includes permanent magnet drum magnetic separator, disc type magnetic separator, electromagnetic magnetic separator, etc.

[0101] The main purpose of scavenging is to remove low-grade ore and waste rock, and to improve the grade and recovery rate of the ore. The scavenging method is screening, which separates the ore and the screen by the difference in screening. The scavenging equipment mainly includes vibrating screen, drum screen, hydrocyclone, etc.

[0102] The tailings still contain useful components that are difficult to extract due to the current technical level, but may become raw materials for reuse in the future. Therefore, tailings are generally stored in a tailings pond. The intermediate product obtained in the beneficiation process is called middlings, and the useful part of the middlings generally has a content between that of the concentrate and the tailings.

[0103] The above examples are only specific examples for further detailing the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the application, and the application is not limited to this. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the scope disclosed in the application is included in the protection scope of the application.
