AI Technical Summary
During the flotation process, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite coexist closely and have similar structures, making them difficult to separate effectively. This results in excessive arsenic content in copper concentrate, increases smelting costs, and has a destructive impact on the ecosystem. Existing technologies make it difficult to efficiently remove arsenic-containing minerals during high-intensity magnetic separation and achieve efficient separation in subsequent flotation.
Arsenic-containing copper sulfide ore is vibrated and screened to below -12mm, and then ground to -0.074mm, accounting for 20-80%. Then, vertical ring pulsating high gradient magnetic separation and scavenging are carried out to remove most of the arsenic-containing minerals. Subsequently, lime + PAM inhibitors are added during the flotation process to effectively inhibit the flotation of arsenopyrite and reduce the dosage of reagents.
The arsenic content in copper concentrate has been reduced to less than 0.5%, which improves resource utilization, reduces flotation agent consumption and production costs, and meets the requirements of a green and environmentally friendly process.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a strong magnetic pre-selection and arsenic reduction-flotation method for arsenic-containing copper sulfide ore, belonging to the technical field of mineral processing. Background Art
[0002] Chalcopyrite accounts for 70% of the world's copper reserves and is the main source of copper, and this mineral is mainly derived from copper sulfide ores. Arsenopyrite, as the most common arsenic sulfide mineral, is often mixed into copper concentrate products during the flotation process, causing the arsenic content to exceed the standard. Excessive arsenic in copper concentrate will increase the subsequent smelting costs and convert arsenopyrite into harmful arsenic compounds during the smelting process, which will have a destructive impact on the ecosystem. According to the "Limit Standards for Harmful Elements in Heavy Metal Concentrate Products", the arsenic content of copper concentrate must be less than 0.5%. In production, the flotation separation of chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite is a long-term technical difficulty. The main reason is that they are closely symbiotic and have similar structures, so they have similar floatability. In addition, copper sulfide deposits are often accompanied by secondary sulfide minerals such as chalcocite, bornite, and covellite, as well as copper oxide minerals such as malachite. During the flotation process, they will dissolve to produce Cu that can activate arsenopyrite. 2+ This further increases the difficulty of separating arsenopyrite. Therefore, the high cost of reagents and environmental restrictions are major challenges that need to be urgently addressed in the copper-arsenic flotation process. To meet the goal of green development and reduce the cost of copper-arsenic separation and beneficiation, the method of the present invention is proposed.
[0003] Patent application number 2023113274691, a comprehensive and efficient method and equipment system for the recovery of low-grade chalcopyrite, is filed under patent application number 2023113274691. This invention incorporates a high-pressure roller mill-strong magnetic pre-selection process and a grinding, classification, strong magnetic roughing, and tailings discarding process at the front end of the flotation process. The low-grade chalcopyrite undergoes screening, high-pressure roller mill-screening, strong magnetic pre-selection, and strong magnetic pre-selection scavenging to complete strong magnetic pre-selection of the coarse-grained ore and discard most of the gangue. Further, the ore undergoes grinding, classification, strong magnetic roughing, and strong magnetic scavenging to complete strong magnetic roughing of the fine-grained ore and discard most of the gangue. This method discards most of the tailings before the ore enters the mill and flotation process and allows for high-value utilization. This improves the ore grade before the mill and flotation process, significantly improving the selectivity of the flotation operation while significantly reducing flotation reagent consumption. It also simplifies the flotation process and significantly reduces flotation production costs, fully achieving cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and environmental protection. The material processed by this invention is low-grade chalcopyrite ore with a copper grade of only 0.1%-0.3%. The low-grade chalcopyrite ore contains a large amount of muddy gangue. The ore is screened to a particle size of -5mm, and then subjected to strong magnetic pre-selection roughing selection-strong magnetic pre-selection scavenging selection to discard most of the gangue. After classification, it is subjected to strong magnetic roughing selection-strong magnetic scavenging selection to discard most of the gangue again. Finally, after roughing selection, two scavenging selections, and secondary selection, high-quality chalcopyrite is obtained.
[0004] The material treated by the method is low-grade chalcopyrite ore, and the main purpose of the strong magnetic pre-concentration roughing or the strong magnetic pre-concentration scavenging, the strong magnetic roughing or the strong magnetic roughing scavenging is to remove most of the gangue, but for the arsenic-containing copper sulfide material, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite are closely associated and interlocked, how to remove most of the arsenic-containing minerals such as arsenopyrite in the strong magnetic separation process, and how to efficiently separate arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite with similar floatability in the subsequent flotation process is a technical problem. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the problems and deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a strong magnetic pre-concentration arsenic reduction-flotation method for arsenic-containing copper sulfide ore. The present application vibrates and screens the arsenic-containing copper sulfide ore to less than-12mm, then grinds the particle size to 20-80% of-0.074mm, then removes most of the arsenic-containing minerals such as arsenopyrite through strong magnetic roughing-strong magnetic scavenging, and finally adds lime+PAM inhibitor in the roughing process of the flotation process to effectively inhibit the flotation process of arsenopyrite, reduce the dosage of flotation reagents, and achieve the effect of reducing the arsenic content of copper concentrate to less than 0.5%. The present application is realized by the following technical scheme.
[0006] A strong magnetic pre-concentration arsenic reduction-flotation method for arsenic-containing copper sulfide ore, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1, screen the arsenic-containing copper sulfide ore to-12mm particle size ore, and return the+12mm particle size to continue screening after crushing:
[0008] S2, grade the-12mm particle size ore in S1 by a hydrocyclone to obtain an overflow with-0.074mm accounting for 20-80%;
[0009] S3, perform roughing by a vertical ring pulsating high gradient magnetic separator on the overflow in S2 to obtain roughing concentrate and roughing tailings;
[0010] S4, perform scavenging by a vertical ring pulsating high gradient magnetic separator on the roughing tailings in S3 to obtain scavenging concentrate and scavenging tailings;
[0011] S5, combine the roughing concentrate in S3 and the scavenging concentrate in S4, then grind the ore to-0.074mm accounting for 20-80%, and obtain a flotation feed after slurry preparation;
[0012] S6, perform flotation on the flotation feed in S5, and add inhibitors lime+PAM in the roughing process of the flotation to obtain copper concentrate after the flotation.
[0013] The As in the arsenic-containing copper sulfide ore in S1 is greater than or equal to 0.4%, and the particle size is 10-15mm.
[0014] The S3 neutral ring pulsating high gradient magnetic roughing is: the pulp concentration is controlled to be 20-40%, the rod medium wire diameter is 0.5-1.8 mm, the magnetic induction intensity is 0.8-1.2 T, the pulsating frequency is 100-350 rpm, and the pulp flow rate is 3.0-6.0 cm / s.
[0015] The S4 neutral ring pulsating high gradient magnetic scavenging is: the pulp concentration is controlled to be 20-40%, the rod medium wire diameter is 2.2-3.0 mm, the magnetic induction intensity is 1.0-1.5 T, the roughing is slightly higher by 0.2-0.3 T, the pulsating frequency is 100-350 rpm, and the pulp flow rate is 3.0-6.0 cm / s.
[0016] The S6 copper flotation is one roughing, two cleaning and one scavenging.
[0017] The S6 copper flotation roughing process inhibitor is lime + PAM, and then combined collector ethyl xanthate + Z-200 and frother 2 # Oil is added, stirred for 5-10 min, and then enters the copper flotation roughing operation to obtain copper flotation concentrate and roughing tailings.
[0018] The S6 copper flotation concentrate enters the copper flotation cleaning 1 operation without adding any reagent to obtain copper cleaning 1 concentrate and cleaning 1 tailings, and the cleaning 1 tailings returns to the copper roughing operation.
[0019] The copper cleaning 1 concentrate enters the copper flotation cleaning 2 operation without adding any reagent to obtain copper concentrate and cleaning 2 tailings, and the cleaning 2 tailings returns to the copper cleaning 1 operation.
[0020] The roughing tailings add appropriate ethyl xanthate + Z-200 and enter the copper flotation scavenging 1 operation to obtain copper scavenging 1 concentrate and scavenging 1 tailings, and the copper scavenging 1 concentrate returns to the copper roughing operation.
[0021] The lime addition amount is 0.5-3 kg / t, the PAM addition amount is 10-200 g / t, the ethyl xanthate + Z-200 addition amount is 20-200 g / t, and the 2 # Oil addition amount is 10-100 g / t.
[0022] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0023] (1) The present application vibrates the sieve containing arsenic copper sulfide to below-12 mm, and then grinds the particle size to 20-80% below-0.074 mm, and then removes most of the arsenic-containing minerals (such as arsenopyrite) through strong magnetic roughing and strong magnetic scavenging, and finally adds lime + PAM inhibitor in the roughing process of the flotation process, effectively inhibits the flotation process of arsenopyrite, reduces the flotation reagent dosage, and realizes the effect that the arsenic content of the copper concentrate is lower than 0.5%.
[0024] (2) Compared with the traditional single flotation process, the arsenic-containing copper sulfide ore resource utilization rate can be greatly improved. After ore crushing-screening-grinding-classification, the strong magnetic pre-selection is carried out by the vertical ring pulse high gradient magnetic separator, most of the arsenic-containing minerals, gangue and slurry are discarded, the copper grade is increased by more than 1.3 times, the low-grade copper ore, arsenic-containing copper ore resources and even surrounding rock which cannot be economically utilized before can be economically and effectively utilized, the boundary grade of the exploitable ore is greatly reduced, and the amount of the utilizable mineral resources is increased.
[0025] (3) The vast majority of chalcopyrite and most of the arsenic-containing minerals (such as arsenopyrite) can be separated out by one separation, and the content of chalcopyrite in the tailings of magnetic separation is very small, so the copper-arsenic mixed flotation pretreatment process in the flotation stage can be omitted, and the concentrate product can be directly obtained by adopting the arsenic-inhibiting copper flotation process. This makes the process flow economical and efficient, green and environmentally friendly. Before entering the flotation, most of the gangue and slurry are discarded through the strong magnetic pre-selection, the amount of the ore entering the flotation is reduced by more than 25%, and the beneficiation operation cost, as well as the construction and management cost of the tailings pond are greatly reduced.
[0026] (4) Compared with the traditional single flotation process, the process flow of the present application realizes tailings reduction and comprehensive and efficient utilization of resources. The early discarding process meets the operation concept of “early collection and early discarding”, and a large amount of flotation reagent is saved. However, the direct flotation after fine grinding of the raw ore has a fine tailings size, which is difficult to be used as building materials, and a large-scale tailings pond needs to be built for storage, which is not suitable for the concept of resource efficient utilization and green mine construction.
