Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mineral processing, and in particular to a method for comprehensive utilization of low-grade fine tungsten-tin particles. [Background technology]
[0002] Tungsten-tin has good physical and chemical properties and is a strategically important metal resource, which is widely used in alloy materials, semiconductors, aerospace and other fields. In the black and white tungsten paragenetic deposits, tungsten ore is often associated with cassiterite, with fine embedded particles and complex mineral composition. It is a typical refractory ore type and difficult to separate.
[0003] The Chinese patent with publication number CN116060204A discloses a new process for the efficient and rapid selection of blanket tungsten-tin fine mud. The process passes the raw ore through a large-pitch spiral chute, a medium-pitch spiral chute, and a small-pitch spiral chute for re-selection and roughing. A hydraulic classification shaking table system is used to classify the incoming materials in the spiral chute and transport them to different shaking tables for processing. Different slots of the shaking table are used to recover ore materials of different particles. However, this method is more suitable for general coarse-grained tungsten-tin mixed ores, and it is still difficult to effectively separate low-grade fine-particle embedded tungsten-tin mixed ores. Low-grade fine-particle embedded tungsten-tin mixed ores are generally recovered by flotation.
[0004] Due to the large fluctuation of the grade of low-grade fine-particle tungsten and tin, and the fact that all the particles processed by flotation are fine particles, which have the characteristics of small mass and large specific surface area, the application of traditional flotation equipment is subject to certain restrictions, affecting the final grade and recovery rate of the metal.
[0005] The Chinese patent with publication number CN111495579A discloses a method for recovering tungsten and tin from fine mud sand. The method subjects the fine mud sand to be selected to flotation desulfurization roughing-scavenging, tungsten-tin mixed flotation roughing-scavenging, magnetic roughing-concentrating, and flotation separation roughing-concentrating operations, and finally obtains scheelite concentrate and tin concentrate. The Chinese patent with publication number CN107617508A discloses a beneficiation process for fine-grained tungsten-tin co-existing ore. The process adopts the process of gravity separation tailing pre-selection, reverse flotation desulfurization and desiliconization, and magnetic separation to separate wolframite and cassiterite. The above-disclosed prior art has certain limitations. When using traditional flotation equipment and reagent system, the fine particle size is difficult to be effectively recovered, resulting in low system recovery rate, low concentrate grade, poor sorting effect, and relatively low processing capacity. In addition, the current process used for low-grade fine tungsten tin is complex and the process is cumbersome, which is not conducive to its industrial promotion and application.
[0006] The disclosure of the above background technology content is only used to assist in understanding the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention. It does not necessarily belong to the prior art of this patent application. In the absence of clear evidence that the above content has been disclosed on the filing date of this patent application, the above background technology should not be used to evaluate the novelty and creativity of the present application.

[0029] The technical principles and beneficial effects of the present invention include:
[0030] 1. Technical Principle
[0031] 1. Principle of flotation equipment system:
[0032] In the beneficiation process of low-grade fine-grained tungsten-tin ore, the thickener, as a key pretreatment equipment, shoulders the important task of regulating the pulp concentration. In view of the uneven concentration and complex composition of the original pulp, it is difficult to directly adapt to the subsequent flotation operation. With the help of the gravity sedimentation efficiency of the thickener, the pulp can be efficiently concentrated inside it. After the pulp flows into the thickener, the solid particles gradually settle to the bottom under the action of gravity, and the water continues to overflow and discharge upward, so as to accurately control the pulp concentration in the ideal range of 30%-50%. The precise setting of this concentration range has a far-reaching impact on the subsequent flotation results. When the concentration is low, it is difficult for the flotation reagent to fully contact with the ore particles and react chemically, resulting in a significant reduction in flotation efficiency; high concentration will lead to increased viscosity of the pulp, poor fluidity, and easy to cause equipment blockage, which is also not conducive to the orderly development of flotation operations.
[0033] The concentrated pulp is then transported to the desulfurization roughing flotation column to officially start the desulfurization process. In this link, copper sulfate, as an adjusting agent, takes the lead in playing a role. With its excellent chemical activity, it can quickly penetrate into the lattice of the sulfide ore, causing the chemical properties of the surface of the sulfide ore to change, the potential to be adjusted, and then effectively activated, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent efficient synergistic reaction with the collector; the 2# oil added later is a typical surfactant, which can quickly reduce the surface tension of the pulp. With the help of mechanical stirring, a large amount of fine, stable and resilient foam is continuously generated. These foams, with their good buoyancy properties, are like a carrier, carrying the activated sulfide ore particles steadily up; then, the butyl xanthate, with its unique chemical affinity for the sulfide ore, accurately adheres to the surface of the sulfide ore, and efficiently captures the sulfide ore through chemical bonding or physical adsorption, achieving the initial separation of the sulfide ore and the tungsten-tin ore.
[0034] The pulp from which the sulfide ore is removed then flows into the rough tungsten-tin flotation column, and the subsequent tungsten-tin sweep flotation column, tungsten-tin sweep flotation column, tungsten-tin refinement flotation column, and tungsten-tin refinement flotation column work together to build a comprehensive and refined flotation system. Between each flotation column, the stirring barrel is responsible for the uniform mixing of the pulp and reagent, and with the help of high-speed stirring, the two are fully blended; the feed pump accurately controls the flow rhythm of the pulp between each flotation column to ensure a stable and efficient transportation process; what is particularly critical is that the self-circulating pump equipped in each flotation column can continuously extract part of the pulp in the column for circulation treatment, thereby strengthening the turbulent state and material mixing degree inside the pulp. In this way, tungsten-tin minerals of different particle sizes and properties, whether they are fine particles to micron-level particles or slightly larger particles; whether they are chemically active categories or relatively inert minerals, can find suitable sorting conditions for themselves in the dynamically optimized flotation environment, and ultimately achieve accurate separation and efficient enrichment.
[0035] 2. Principle of mineral processing reagents:
[0036] In the desulfurization stage, various mineral processing agents perform their respective duties and work together to complete the sorting of sulfide ores. Copper sulfate acts as an activator for sulfide ores. When it is incorporated into the slurry, it quickly ionizes copper ions. With its unique chemical activity, copper ions accurately replace some ions on the surface of the sulfide ore, causing the surface properties of the sulfide ore to change from the original low-activity state to an active state that is easy to react with the collector, laying a solid foundation for the smooth development of subsequent collection operations; 2# oil, as a foaming agent, belongs to the category of surfactants. After being added to the slurry, it can quickly reduce the surface tension of the liquid. Under the synergistic effect of mechanical stirring, a large amount of air is drawn into the slurry. The 2# oil molecules are arranged in order at the gas-liquid interface, wrapping the air bubbles, and promoting the formation of fine and stable foam. These bubbles have good buoyancy and can efficiently carry sulfide ore particles to the surface of the slurry, achieving the purpose of initial separation. Butyl xanthate, as a professional sulfide ore collector, can accurately lock onto sulfide ore due to the strong chemical affinity between sulfur atoms in its molecular structure and sulfide ore, and firmly capture sulfide ore through chemical bonding, physical adsorption and other methods.
[0037] In the mixed flotation stage, sodium carbonate is the first to appear as a key agent for water purification and pH adjustment. The ore pulp usually contains various metal ions and impurities, and sodium carbonate can react chemically with them to cause the impurities to precipitate and achieve the effect of softening the water. At the same time, the pH of the ore pulp is precisely adjusted to create a weakly alkaline environment that fits the flotation characteristics of tungsten and tin minerals, ensuring that the subsequent added agents can maintain good chemical activity and ensure that the flotation reaction is stable and efficient. Lead nitrate acts as an activator for tungsten-tin minerals. It is quickly ionized after being added to the pulp. The generated lead ions are tightly adsorbed on the surface of tungsten-tin minerals, cleverly filling the charge vacancies of the mineral lattice, effectively changing the charge distribution and hydration film thickness on the mineral surface, and significantly improving the natural floatability of tungsten-tin minerals, making it easier to combine with bubbles and float during the flotation process; acidified water glass shoulders the task of inhibiting impurities. For common iron-containing impurities and silicates in the pulp, it can use the polymerization precipitation of silicate ions and the complex reaction with metal ions to firmly bind these impurities, inhibit their floating ability, and cause them to precipitate to the bottom of the pulp, thus fully guaranteeing the purity and quality of tungsten-tin concentrates. As professional tungsten-tin collectors, GY-1 and GY-2 show excellent capture and selectivity for tungsten-tin minerals with their excellent molecular structure design and chemical activity. They can accurately identify active sites on the surface of tungsten-tin minerals, efficiently adhere to the tungsten-tin minerals through chemical bonding, physical adsorption and other multiple methods, escort them to float smoothly, break through the numerous obstacles of gangue minerals, achieve accurate separation of tungsten-tin and other gangue minerals, and effectively improve the grade and recovery rate of tungsten-tin.
[0038] 2. Beneficial Effects
[0039] 1. Improve resource utilization: In the field of mineral resource development, the grade of the original ore is one of the key factors that determine the effectiveness of resource recovery. Low-grade fine-grained tungsten-tin ore has always been a difficult problem for mineral processing. This type of ore not only has a low tungsten-tin content, but also has a fine mineral distribution and complex composition, which makes it difficult for traditional mineral processing technology to accurately separate and efficiently recover, and resource waste is extremely common. This method can achieve a final product of tungsten-tin mixed concentrate with WO3+Sn>24% when the original ore grade is WO30.20%-0.40% and Sn0.10%-0.30%, with a tungsten recovery rate of ≥76% and a tin recovery rate of ≥59%, which is a significant leap compared to traditional processes. This is due to the meticulous control of all aspects of flotation, from the adjustment of slurry concentration, precise addition of reagents, to the efficient collaboration of advanced flotation equipment systems, which fully dissociates and precisely enriches the tungsten and tin minerals in the ore, allowing the precious resources hidden in the fine-grained ore to be "fully utilized", effectively reducing idle resources and loss, and vigorously promoting the sustainable development and utilization of metal resources, which is in line with the industry development vision of efficient resource recycling.
[0040] 2. Significant economic benefits: In the cost control of mineral processing enterprises, equipment and reagent costs are key sectors. In order to adapt to complex working conditions, traditional mineral processing equipment systems have complicated structures and numerous components, requiring large amounts of money to purchase; the installation process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and has high labor costs; due to frequent failures during the operation and maintenance stage, it is necessary to frequently replace parts and hire professional technicians, resulting in high costs. In contrast, the equipment layout adopted in the present invention is simple and sophisticated, and the design is optimized in accordance with the actual needs of ore processing, and redundant structures are removed, so that procurement costs can be effectively reduced; the installation process is simplified, the construction period is greatly shortened, and the labor and time costs are reduced accordingly; the equipment stability is enhanced, the failure rate is significantly reduced, and the maintenance investment drops sharply.
[0041] At the same time, the mineral processing reagent system has been repeatedly studied and adjusted, and the dosage of each reagent is accurately matched to the needs of different flotation stages to eliminate waste caused by excessive use. With the dual benefits of achieving high recovery rates of tungsten and tin and high-grade concentrate output, the company's product quality has been improved, and its market competitiveness has been improved, which can obtain better prices and orders; the steady growth of output has brought economies of scale, accelerated capital recovery, and expanded profit margins, helping companies seize opportunities in market competition and consolidate their development foundations.
[0042] 3. Good environmental benefits: Traditional mineral processing technology has limited resource recovery rate, resulting in a large amount of tungsten and tin metals remaining in the tailings. Long-term storage or improper disposal of these tailings can easily lead to a chain reaction of environmental pollution: heavy metals penetrate into the soil with rainwater, causing soil compaction, nutrient loss, and damage to the soil ecological structure; they flow into surrounding water bodies, causing water turbidity and increased eutrophication, threatening the survival and reproduction of aquatic organisms, and even accumulating through the food chain, posing a potential threat to human health.
[0043] This method, with its excellent resource recovery efficiency, significantly reduces the amount of tungsten and tin metal residues in tailings, reducing pollution risks at the source. The composition of tailings is simplified, and the difficulty and cost of subsequent disposal are reduced simultaneously, which is in line with the development orientation of green mining. This not only demonstrates the environmental protection responsibility of enterprises and helps to establish a good corporate image; it also effectively protects the integrity of the local ecological environment, maintains regional biodiversity, builds a healthy living space for surrounding residents, and achieves harmonious coexistence between enterprises and the ecological environment.
[0044] 4. Strong applicability: Mineral resources are widely distributed around the world. Low-grade fine-grained tungsten-tin ores in different regions are affected by geological causes and have significant differences in characteristics, which requires extremely high universality of mineral processing technology. This method is based on a large amount of practice and technical research and development, accurately understands the common characteristics of such ores and the core points of flotation, and creates a highly universal mineral processing process and process parameters.
[0045] Regardless of the coarse or fine ore particle size, the different mineral distribution forms, or the complex and varied chemical composition, this method can be flexibly adapted and stably output. It provides a mature technical example for the comprehensive recycling of similar low-grade fine tungsten-tin ores. With its outstanding effectiveness, it has quickly gained recognition and reference in the industry, and is of great value for promotion and application.

The thickener underflow slurry passes through the desulfurization roughing mixing barrel 2, and 100g / t of copper sulfate, 150g / t of butyl xanthate, and 20g / t of 2# oil are added to adjust the slurry. The slurry adjusted by adding drugs is fed into the desulfurization roughing flotation column 4 by the feed pump, and the concentrate of the desulfurization roughing flotation column 4 flows into the desulfurization concentration flotation column 3. The tailings of the desulfurization roughing flotation column 4 are fed into the tungsten-tin roughing mixing barrel 12, and 600g / t of sodium carbonate, 300g / t of lead nitrate, 120g / t of GY-1, and 6g / t of GY-2 are added to adjust the slurry, and then fed into the tungsten-tin roughing flotation column 5 by the feed pump.
[0073] Step 3: After desulfurization, the low-grade fine-grained tungsten-tin ore pulp is mixed and floated through each operating flotation column. The concentrate of the tungsten-tin roughing flotation column 5 flows into the tungsten-tin selection mixing barrel 14, and GY-1 is added at a dosage of 20g / t for slurry adjustment, and is fed into the tungsten-tin selection flotation column 7 through a feed pump. The tailings of the tungsten-tin selection roughing flotation column 5 are fed into the tungsten-tin scavenging selection mixing barrel 13, and GY-1 is added at a dosage of 60g / t and acidified water glass is added at a dosage of 300g / t for slurry adjustment, and is fed into the tungsten-tin scavenging selection flotation column 6 through a feed pump; the concentrate of the tungsten-tin selection flotation column 7 flows into the tungsten-tin selection second mixing barrel 16, and GY-1 is added at a dosage of 10g / t and acidified water glass is added at a dosage of 120g / t for slurry adjustment, and is fed into the tungsten-tin selection second flotation column 9 through a feed pump. The tailings of the tungsten-tin selection flotation column 7 are returned to the tungsten-tin selection second flotation column 7. To the tungsten-tin roughing stirring barrel 12, to achieve closed-loop circulation; the concentrate of the tungsten-tin scavenging flotation column 6 returns to the tungsten-tin roughing stirring barrel 12, the tailings of the tungsten-tin scavenging flotation column 6 are fed into the tungsten-tin scavenging second stirring barrel 15, GY-1 is added at a dosage of 30g / t for slurry adjustment, and fed into the tungsten-tin scavenging second flotation column 8 through the feed pump; the concentrate of the tungsten-tin scavenging second flotation column 8 returns to the tungsten-tin scavenging first stirring barrel 13, the tailings of the tungsten-tin scavenging second flotation column 8 flow into the tailings pump pool and pump away; the concentrate of the tungsten-tin concentrating second flotation column 9 flows into the tungsten-tin concentrate pump pool and pumps away, the tailings of the tungsten-tin concentrating second flotation column 9 return to the tungsten-tin concentrating first stirring barrel 14, to achieve closed-loop circulation, and produce tungsten-tin mixed concentrate. Schematic diagram of each device is shown in Figure 1 .

The remaining steps remain unchanged to produce a tungsten-tin mixed concentrate.
[0082] The tungsten-tin mixed concentrate products produced in Examples 1-5 were analyzed and the grades of the tungsten-tin mixed concentrate products and the tungsten-tin recovery rates were as shown in Table 1:
[0083] Table 1: Grade of tungsten-tin mixed concentrate and tungsten-tin recovery rate of products in Examples 1-5
[0084] Example Grade of tungsten-tin mixed concentrate, % Tungsten recovery rate, % Recovery rate of tin, % Example 1 >24.8 76.5 60.6 Example 2 >26.3 76.1 59.2 Example 3 >24.5 76.8 60.3 Example 4 >25.2 76.2 59.4 Example 5 >24.1 77.3 61.2
[0085] By analyzing the results of Examples 1-5, we can clearly and accurately grasp the actual effect of the desulfurization-tin-tungsten mixed flotation process designed for low-grade fine-grained tungsten-tin ore, as well as the application advantages of the new flotation equipment system and mineral processing agents.
[0086] The grade of the original ore is between WO30.20%-0.40% and Sn0.10%-0.30%, which belongs to the category of typical low-grade ore. The beneficiation of this type of ore is difficult, and it is difficult to achieve the ideal enrichment effect with conventional processes in the past. However, this process performs well. The tungsten-tin mixed concentrates produced by each embodiment have reached the level of WO3+Sn>24%. Among them, after the pulp concentration is adjusted to 50% in Example 2, the concentrate grade is increased to>26.3%, highlighting the key role of pulp concentration in the beneficiation process. Appropriate pulp concentration is conducive to the uniform dispersion of flotation reagents, so that they can fully contact and react with the ore particles, allowing more tungsten-tin minerals to be effectively dissociated and enriched, thereby improving the concentrate grade. Although the dosage and preparation of the other embodiments have changed, the concentrate grade is still stably maintained at a high level, which fully verifies the reliability of this process in controlling the quality of the concentrate.
[0087] Comparing the tungsten recovery rates of Examples 1-5, the experimental data strongly proves the efficient recovery ability of the process. In Example 1, the tungsten recovery rate reached 76.5%, laying the foundation, indicating that the basic process parameter settings are reasonable and effective, and can better capture the tungsten element in the ore. Example 5 focuses on adjusting the amount of GY-1 in each stirring barrel in the mixed flotation stage, thereby increasing the tungsten recovery rate to 77.3%, highlighting the importance of precise formulation of mineral processing agents. As a key collector, GY-1 is used in an amount that adapts to the characteristics of tungsten-tin minerals in different flotation stages, and is accurately and efficiently combined with the mineral surface to reduce tungsten residues in the tailings and enhance the collection effect. The tungsten recovery rates of the remaining examples are stably maintained at ≥76%, demonstrating the robustness and efficiency of the process.
[0088] Looking at the recovery rate of tin, we also achieved ideal results. The recovery rate of tin in Example 1 was 60.6%. When the process parameters were adjusted in subsequent examples, the recovery rate of tin remained stable at ≥59%. Like Example 3, the dosage of the desulfurization roughing stirring barrel reagent was adjusted, and Example 4 fine-tuned the combination of tungsten and tin roughing stirring barrel reagents. The recovery effect of tin did not decrease significantly, indicating that this process is suitable for the recovery of tin elements. The various reagents work together in different flotation links, which can not only separate sulfide ores, but also suppress impurities, creating a good environment for the floating and enrichment of tin and ensuring efficient recovery.
[0089] In general, these five groups of examples fully verify the scientificity and advancement of this process. The new flotation equipment has a reasonable system layout, efficient stirring and conveying, and practical self-circulation function, providing hardware support for slurry processing and mineral sorting; the mineral processing reagents are prepared on demand and work closely with the equipment. The two work together to overcome the difficulty of beneficiation of low-grade fine-grained tungsten-tin ore, providing a feasible example for the selection of similar ores, which is of great promotion value and conducive to promoting efficient resource recovery and sustainable development in the industry.
