Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nonferrous metal ore flotation, in particular to a zinc-sulfur green low-carbon flotation method. Background Art

[0002] The flotation system of a non-ferrous metal lead, zinc and sulfur polymetallic mine in East China originally adopted the priority flotation process. The priority flotation process is mainly used to process ores containing multiple useful minerals, such as sulfide lead-zinc ore. Its basic principle is to first float out one mineral, then suppress other minerals, and finally activate and float another mineral. The priority flotation process is as follows: first, add a zinc-sulfur mineral inhibitor and a lead collector to float out the lead mineral to obtain a lead concentrate, and zinc and sulfur and other minerals are lead tailings; then add a large amount of lime to the lead tailings to suppress pyrite, add a zinc activator and a collector to float out the zinc mineral to obtain a zinc concentrate, and sulfur minerals and others are zinc tailings; then add sulfuric acid to the zinc tailings to activate the suppressed pyrite, and add a collector to float to obtain a sulfur concentrate. That is, lead, zinc, sulfur and other polymetallic separations are carried out in sequence. In the above zinc selection process, a large amount of lime is used to suppress pyrite, resulting in the need to use sulfuric acid to activate pyrite in the sulfur selection process. Although safety measures are taken during the transportation, storage and use of sulfuric acid, there are still safety and environmental risks. Summary of the invention

Zinc concentrate, sulfur concentrate and tailings are quickly produced through a simple and efficient process, realizing a new zinc-sulfur green low-carbon flotation process.

[0036] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0037] In the zinc-sulfur mixed flotation roughing and scavenging step, the zinc-sulfur mixed concentrate is quickly floated out and directly sent to the first mixing and scavenging component under the roughing operation of the zinc-sulfur mixed selection roughing component; the target mineral zinc and sulfur are floated cleanly through the first roughing and three scavenging, and the tailings are discharged in advance, so as to achieve energy saving. The first concentrating operation of the first mixing and scavenging component purifies the zinc-sulfur mixed concentrate, and then sends it to the zinc-sulfur separation roughing and scavenging step for zinc-sulfur separation operation. In the two operations of zinc-sulfur mixed flotation rough and fine scavenging step and zinc-sulfur separation rough and fine scavenging step, due to zinc-sulfur mixed flotation, a large amount of lime is saved compared with the original priority flotation process; through the above zinc-sulfur mixed flotation rough and fine scavenging and zinc-sulfur separation rough and fine scavenging steps, by using the XCF slurry suction type aerated mechanical stirring flotation machine and the KYF aerated mechanical stirring flotation machine combined configuration process, a simple and efficient process quickly produces zinc concentrate, sulfur concentrate, and tailings, realizing zinc-sulfur green low-carbon flotation, realizing early discharge of tailings, energy saving, and reducing the amount of lime added to save reagent costs, changing the traditional priority flotation process that uses a large amount of lime to suppress pyrite when flotating zinc, and a large amount of sulfuric acid is required to activate pyrite when flotating sulfur. The heavy pressure and heavy pulling method, as well as the limitations and safety and environmental protection risks in zinc and sulfur recovery, have achieved early disposal of tailings, saving drug and electricity consumption, eliminating the safety and environmental protection risks of using sulfuric acid, and realizing green, low-carbon and efficient separation of zinc and sulfur.

[0038] The zinc-sulfur mixed roughing component of the present invention adopts a three-slot flotation machine. By continuing to use the XCF flotation machine in the second slot, the foam product of the mixed sweeping component is sucked into the roughing operation by the second slot XCF flotation machine alone, and the roughing feed of the mixing barrel and the selected underflow product of the mixed fine component are sucked into the roughing operation by the first slot XCF flotation machine. A two-slot XCF flotation machine and a one-slot KYF flotation machine are used in combination, and the feed slurry circuit enters the first slot XCF flotation machine and the second slot XCF flotation machine respectively. By diverting the suction slurry pressure of the XCF flotation machine configured in the first slot, the speed of the scavenging foam product and the selected underflow product entering the roughing is accelerated at the same time, thereby solving the overflow of the scavenging foam tank, solving the problem that the foam product cannot be completely and timely sucked back to the roughing operation through the XCF flotation machine, affecting the ore discharge operation of the selected underflow product, resulting in low quality of the concentrate product and high tailings of the tailings product. The effective output of the mixed roughing product is achieved, which is helpful for the effective separation of the subsequent mixed products and the tailings control of the subsequent scavenging operation.
