Abstract
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

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:

[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.
