Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a ore dressing process, in particular to a new process for improving the ore dressing index of a magnetite-hematite-siderite mixed iron ore, and belongs to the technical field of ore dressing of various iron ores such as magnetite, hematite and siderite. Background Art

[0002] The beneficiation process for the recovery of mixed iron ore resources of magnetite, hematite and siderite generally adopts stage grinding-weak magnetic-strong magnetic or adding reverse flotation process. However, the obtained iron concentrate is often of low grade or low metal recovery rate, and the sorting tailings are all fine-grained tailings. Only part of the tailings can be filled underground, and most of the tailings still need to be discharged into the tailings pond, which makes it difficult to achieve mining and filling balance. At present, the state has strict control over the approval policy of tailings ponds, and the possibility of approving the construction of tailings ponds is very small, which directly affects the normal production and operation of enterprises. At the same time, all the vein minerals in the ore enter the grinding and sorting system, resulting in ineffective grinding, increasing operating costs, and affecting the system processing capacity. Therefore, it is of great significance to seek a mixed iron ore beneficiation process that can improve beneficiation indicators and save energy and reduce consumption. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention is aimed at the technical problems existing in the prior art, and provides a new process for improving the beneficiation index of magnetic-hematite-siderite mixed iron ore. This solution solves the problem of ineffective grinding in the grinding process, removes the gangue minerals dissociated from the iron ore in advance, improves the processing capacity of the mill, and makes the tailings coarser, thereby reducing the fine tailings and recycling them. When sorting the ground products, the magnetic inclusions are reduced, and qualified iron concentrate products are obtained in advance during the sorting process; the undissociated iron minerals in the ground products are selectively re-grinded and re-selected, which saves energy and reduces consumption, and obtains qualified iron concentrate products.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a new process for improving the beneficiation index of magnetic-hematite-siderite mixed ore, the process comprising the following steps:

[0005] (1) The magnetic-hematite-siderite mixed iron ore belt sample is subjected to a first-stage ball mill grinding to obtain a ball mill discharge ore 1, and the ball mill discharge ore 1 is subjected to a first-stage magnetic separation to obtain a concentrate ore 1 and a tailing ore 1;

[0006] (2) Screening the tailings 1 to obtain an oversize material 1 and a screened material 1, wherein the oversize material 1 is coarse-grained tailings 1 and the undersize material 1 is magnetically separated tailings 1, and enters the total tailings system;

[0007] (3) Concentrate 1 is sent to the first stage classification to obtain overflow 1 and return sand 1, and the return sand 1 is returned to the second stage ball mill for grinding, and the second stage ball mill is used to grind the ore to obtain ball mill discharge 2, and the ball mill discharge 2 is returned to the first stage classification;

[0008] (4) the overflow 1 is subjected to a second-stage magnetic separation to obtain a concentrate 2 and a tailing 2, the concentrate 2 is the iron concentrate 1 entering the total concentrate system, and the tailing 2 is subjected to a third-stage magnetic separation to obtain a concentrate 3 and a tailing 3;

[0009] (5) performing two-stage screening on the tailings 3 to obtain an oversize material 2 and an undersize material 2, wherein the oversize material 2 is a coarse-grained tailings 2;

[0010] (6) subjecting the undersize material 2 to four-stage magnetic separation to obtain concentrate 4 and tailings 4, wherein concentrate 4 is iron concentrate 2 and enters the total concentrate system; subjecting the tailings 4 to five-stage magnetic separation to obtain concentrate 5 and tailings 5, wherein tailings 5 ​​is magnetically separated tailings 2 and enters the total tailings system;

[0011] (7) The concentrate 3 and the concentrate 5 are combined and sent to the second stage classification to obtain overflow 2 and return sand 2, the return sand 2 is returned to the third stage ball mill for grinding, the third stage ball mill is used to grind the ball mill discharge 3, and the ball mill discharge 3 is returned to the second stage classification;

[0012] (8) The overflow 2 is subjected to six-stage magnetic separation to obtain concentrate 6 and tailings 6, and the concentrate 6 is the iron concentrate 3, which enters the total concentrate system;

[0013] (9) Tailings 6 is subjected to seven-stage magnetic separation to obtain concentrate 7 and tailings 7. Concentrate 7 is iron concentrate 4 and enters the total concentrate system. Tailings 7 is magnetically separated tailings 3 and enters the total tailings system.

[0014] Wherein, the belt sample feed particle size is 0mm to 20mm.

[0015] Among them, the sieve hole size of the first stage screening is 0.25mm~3mm; the sieve hole size of the second stage screening is 0.1mm~0.5mm.

[0016] Among them, the magnetic field strength of the first stage magnetic separation is 5000Oe~15000Oe; the magnetic field strength of the second, third and sixth stages magnetic separation is 800Oe~5000Oe; the magnetic field strength of the fourth, fifth and seventh stages magnetic separation is 5000Oe~17000Oe.

[0022] ② For the grinding products, the cascade weak magnetic separation and strong magnetic separation processes are adopted to reduce magnetic inclusions, separate the monomer and conjoined iron minerals during the separation process, and obtain qualified iron concentrate products in advance.

[0023] ③ Selectively regrind and reselect the scavenged weak magnetic concentrate and the scavenged strong magnetic concentrate to obtain qualified iron ore concentrate products.

[0024] ④ Before the weak magnetic tailings enter the subsequent strong magnetic separation operation, increase the screening and separation to obtain coarse-grained gangue, which can be used for construction sand. At the same time, it can improve the subsequent separation feed grade, which is conducive to obtaining qualified concentrate products.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects: for the intermediate products of the two-stage grinding, the dissociated gangue minerals are discarded in advance, the processing capacity of the mill is improved, and this part of the gangue can be used for building sand; the use of the cascade magnetic separation technology can reduce the magnetic inclusion problem in the separation process, obtain qualified iron ore concentrate products in advance, and at the same time select the incompletely dissociated middling products (weak magnetic scavenging concentrate and strong magnetic scavenging concentrate); the middling products are selectively regrinded and reselected to obtain qualified iron ore concentrate products, avoid ineffective grinding, save energy and reduce consumption; the strong Screening and coarsening the magnetic ore can increase the grade of the strong magnetic separation, and the screened product can be used as construction sand; ultimately, the mixed iron ore selection indicators can be improved, including increasing the processing capacity by 9 percentage points (increasing the processing ore by 450,000 tons / year), increasing the TFe recovery rate by 1.5 percentage points while keeping the iron concentrate grade unchanged, and increasing the coarse-grained tailings content by 4 percentage points (increasing the construction sand content by 200,000 tons / year), so that the fine-grained tailings can be reduced and recycled, ultimately achieving a balance between mining and filling, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and ensuring smooth production of the enterprise.
