Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ore resource utilization, and in particular to a method for resource utilization of extremely low-grade zinc oxide ore. Background Art

[0002] The formation of zinc oxide ore is mainly due to the long-term action of exposed zinc sulfide deposits with O2, H2O, CO2 and biological organic matter, which forms an oxidation zone of a certain thickness on the surface of the zinc sulfide deposit. The geological environment is usually more complex, so there are many types of zinc oxide ores. Calcite, quartz, dolomite, clay, iron oxides and hydroxides are the most common gangue minerals in zinc oxide ores.

[0003] At present, the industrial treatment of zinc oxide ore mainly adopts flotation method. For a long time, domestic and foreign scholars have done a lot of research on zinc oxide flotation and developed a series of flotation methods, such as direct flotation method with fatty acid collectors, flotation method with chelating collectors, flotation method with mercaptan collectors, sulfide-amine flotation method and sulfide-xanthate flotation method, etc. However, each flotation method has its own shortcomings, and a single flotation method cannot solve the problem of difficult treatment of zinc oxide ore.

[0004] When the sulfide xanthate method or mercaptan collector flotation method is used to treat zinc oxide ore, due to the poor natural floatability of smithsonite, the Zn exposed by the surface fracture 2+The active sites have very weak interaction with thiol collectors such as xanthate and mercaptan, so it is difficult for the collectors to adsorb on the surface of smithsonite or they are very easy to fall off after adsorption. When using fatty acid collectors to directly float smithsonite, since smithsonite and calcite and dolomite in the gangue minerals have the same carbonate structure and similar surface properties, and the carboxyl group of fatty acid collectors has a strong chelating ability with calcium, the collector consumption increases and the selectivity is poor. Zinc oxide ore is brittle and easy to be over-grinded, and it is very easy to become muddy. Although pre-demuding can improve the flotation effect, it also causes a large amount of zinc metal loss. Zinc oxide ore has a high content of soluble salts, and various ions and carbonate ions form precipitates, which cover the surface of the mineral, hinder the flotation of zinc oxide minerals, and make it difficult to select and utilize. Due to the existence of these problems, in recent years, more and more professionals in the field of mineral processing research have begun to invest in processes other than flotation for the recovery of zinc oxide ore, especially the research and application of combined processes of hydrometallurgy, gravity separation, magnetic separation and other methods. When processing zinc oxide ores with relatively coarse particle size and high zinc oxide grade, gravity separation technology is used for tailing treatment; when processing zinc oxide ores with high iron content, a magnetic flotation combined process of magnetic separation for iron separation and flotation for zinc recovery is used; when processing zinc oxide ores with relatively low grade, a flotation + wet leaching combined process is used, flotation pre-enrichment, improving the grade of wet raw materials, reducing calcium and magnesium carbonate minerals, and reducing acid consumption. These combined processes have improved the recovery effect of zinc oxide ores to a certain extent and improved the beneficiation index of zinc oxide ores, but they still cannot solve the key problems in the recovery of low-grade zinc oxide ores (original ore containing zinc <2.5%), which are prominently manifested in high energy consumption, inability to balance enrichment ratio and recovery rate, and high cost of processing ton of ore.

[0005] Therefore, developing a mineral processing technology with good separation effect, strong adaptability and low production cost will help to efficiently recover low-grade zinc oxide ore and realize the resource utilization of low-grade ore. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a method for resource utilization of extremely low-grade zinc oxide ore.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0019] Furthermore, in step S3, the high intensity magnetic separation roughing concentrates obtained from the high intensity magnetic separation roughing operations of zinc oxide at various levels are combined to adjust the pulp mass concentration to 60%-65%, and the fineness of the finely ground product is -0.074mm and the content accounts for 55%-60%.

[0020] Further, in step S4, based on the dry weight of the original ore, the amount of sodium carbonate is 1200g / t-1500g / t, the amount of water glass is 1200g / t-1500g / t, the amount of sodium sulfide is 2000-3000g / t, and the amount of dodecylamine is 40g / t-60g / t.

[0021] Further, in step S5, based on the dry weight of the original ore, the amount of sodium carbonate is 500g / t-800g / t, the amount of water glass is 500g / t-800g / t, the amount of sodium sulfide is 500g / t-1000g / t, and the amount of dodecylamine is 20g / t-30g / t.
