Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of metallurgy and chemical industry, and specifically relates to a copper-molybdenum high-efficiency mixed flotation separation collector and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] my country is a country with large resource consumption. Especially in recent years, the demand for mineral resources for economic development has become increasingly urgent. According to statistics, in the current porphyry copper-molybdenum ore, the mineral composition is relatively complex. Generally, it is a "poor, fine, and mixed" mineral with three minerals of copper, molybdenum, and sulfur coexisting. The copper and molybdenum grades in the original ore are low, and they contain each other seriously. The process commonly used in copper-molybdenum flotation is coarse grinding, copper-molybdenum mixed flotation-mixed concentrate regrinding-copper-molybdenum separation, and finally copper concentrate and molybdenum concentrate are obtained. It can be seen that how to obtain copper-molybdenum concentrate with high grade and recovery rate is an important link to improve the efficiency of copper-molybdenum flotation separation.
[0003] Based on the strategic position and consumption demand of copper, molybdenum and other metals in the development of the national economy, developing and utilizing copper, molybdenum and other metal resources and increasing the efficient separation and recovery of copper, molybdenum and other metal resources are one of the effective means to increase the amount of resources. Therefore, it is very important to research and develop new non-toxic and efficient copper-molybdenum collectors to reduce the cost and risk of flotation. Summary of the invention
[0004] The first purpose of the present invention is to provide a copper-molybdenum high-efficiency mixed flotation separation collector; the second purpose is to provide a preparation method of the copper-molybdenum high-efficiency mixed flotation separation collector; the third purpose is to provide the application of the copper-molybdenum high-efficiency mixed flotation separation collector.
[0005] The first object of the present invention is achieved in that the copper-molybdenum high-efficiency mixed flotation separation collector is synthesized using dithiocarbonate and mixed hydrocarbon oil as raw materials.
[0006] The second object of the present invention is achieved by comprising the following steps: A. Add water to reaction tank No. 1, and add sodium hydroxide at a temperature of 30-40°C under stirring to prepare sodium hydroxide solution a; then add methyl isobutyl carbinol solution at a temperature of 30-40°C, and stir for 30-40 minutes to obtain material b; B. Feed material b into the No. 2 reaction tank, control the temperature at 5-10°C, add carbon disulfide, and then control the temperature at 10-20°C and stir the reaction for 20-30 minutes to obtain material c; (A, B process reaction equation: C6H 14 O + NaOH + CS2 → C6H 13 OCS2Na+H2O) C. Feed material c into the No. 3 reaction tank, add mixed hydrocarbon oil, control the temperature at 20-30°C, stir and react for 20-30 minutes to obtain material d; The main function of adding non-polar mixed hydrocarbon solvents is to form a hydrophobic film on the mineral surface through physical adsorption, promote the adhesion of bubbles and mineral particles, and help dithiocarbonate to synergistically enhance the mineral-bubble adhesion efficiency and make it evenly dispersed in the slurry.
[0007] D. Feed material d into reaction tank No. 4, add cross-linking agent 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide / N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC / NHS), control the temperature to 30-40°C and stir the reaction for 10-20 minutes to obtain material e, which is a functional sodium dithiocarbonate-hydrocarbon oil complex, that is, a high-efficiency mixed flotation separation collector for the target copper and molybdenum.
[0008] The equation for the reaction of EDC / NHS with fatty acids or carboxylic acid groups in mixed hydrocarbon oils to form esters is:
[0009] The addition of EDC / NHS to the reaction forms an ester bond, which has stable chemical properties and high flotation activity. It promotes cross-linking by activating ester groups, enhances the binding force between collector molecules, enhances the adsorption stability on the mineral surface, and enhances the strong capture ability of copper sulfide minerals. In addition, EDC / NHS can covalently link dithiocarbonate with the long chain of hydrocarbon oil to form an amphiphilic structure that is both polar (adsorbing minerals) and non-polar (hydrophobic), thereby enhancing the capture ability of the agent for molybdenum sulfide minerals.
[0010] The third object of the present invention is achieved by applying the copper-molybdenum high-efficiency mixed flotation separation collector in the copper-molybdenum mineral mixed flotation separation process.
[0011] The copper-molybdenum high-efficiency mixed flotation separation collector of the present invention is a high-efficiency mixture synthesized from dithiocarbonate and mixed hydrocarbon oil as raw materials. The added mixed hydrocarbon oil has a dispersing and synergistic effect on the dithiocarbonate obtained by the reaction, and the addition of a cross-linking agent can improve the structural stability and adsorption efficiency of the copper-molybdenum collector through intermolecular cross-linking. It has good selectivity for copper sulfide minerals represented by chalcopyrite and molybdenite, and has a significant collection effect, and is particularly suitable for mixed flotation separation of copper-molybdenum minerals.
[0012] The advantages of the present invention are: 1. The added cross-linking agent forms a buffer salt, which reacts with the hydroxyl group of the target molecule to form an ester bond. It has stable chemical properties, high flotation activity, strong adaptability to the pH value of the medium, and strong capture ability for copper sulfide minerals. 2. Adding cross-linking agent to hydrocarbon oil can make the molecules of saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon oriented isomerized, increase the contact angle between hydrocarbon compounds and selected minerals, change the carrier potential at the same time, strengthen the adsorption force between selected minerals and collectors, and enhance the collection ability of reagents for molybdenum sulfide minerals; 3. Good degradability after production and use, it will naturally degrade after being stored in the tailings pond for a certain period of time, and it is environmentally friendly; 4. Low cost and easy to put into industrial scale production; 5. The production process does not produce three wastes, does not cause secondary pollution, and is environmentally friendly.
