Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of efficient copper-molybdenum separation, and in particular to a pre-oxidation-magnetic-flotation combined beneficiation process for enhancing the separation of copper-molybdenum mixed concentrates. Background Art

[0002] Copper and molybdenum are important nonferrous metal resources. Copper-molybdenum ores are mainly found in the form of porphyry-type copper-molybdenum deposits and skarn-type copper-molybdenum deposits. Their copper sulfides (mainly chalcopyrite) are usually closely associated with molybdenite. Chalcopyrite and molybdenite have similar floatability and small difference in surface wettability, making separation difficult. At present, the use of sodium thioglycolate as a copper mineral inhibitor alone can no longer meet the needs of difficult-to-separate copper and molybdenum separation, as poor, fine, and mixed refractory molybdenum ores have many types of copper sulfide minerals and are closely associated with molybdenite. The specific magnetic susceptibility of chalcopyrite is 0.840×10 -6 m 3 / kg, it is a weakly magnetic mineral, and the specific magnetic susceptibility of molybdenite is -0.001×10 -6 m 3 / kg, there is a magnetic difference between the two, so theoretically the two can be separated by high gradient strong magnetic separation.

[0003] But in general, the difference in magnetic properties between chalcopyrite and molybdenite is small, resulting in serious intermixing of copper and molybdenum minerals in the magnetic separation products and poor separation effect. Pre-oxidation technology can change the difference in surface components between the two, thereby affecting their floatability and making a difference in the magnetic flotation effect. By stirring the oxidant solution with the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, an oxidation reaction occurs on the mineral surface to generate corresponding oxidation products. Chalcopyrite is easily oxidized due to its surface properties, generating soluble copper salts, which changes its surface floatability. Molybdenite is not easily oxidized due to its stable surface properties. Therefore, pre-oxidation not only enhances the surface magnetism of chalcopyrite, but also plays a role in de-doping the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, changes the surface hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of its products, and enhances the flotation separation effect.

[0004] Existing copper-molybdenum separation technology involves grinding the copper-molybdenum mixed ore in a ball mill, followed by roughing, followed by secondary regrinding. After three rounds of concentrating and scavenging, molybdenum concentrate is obtained. This technology suffers from excessive reagent consumption, resulting in waste. Furthermore, the secondary regrinding requires significant energy consumption, and flotation columns can easily cause coarse separation, reducing molybdenum recovery and resulting in molybdenum losses.

[0005] Publication number CN118950268A discloses a method for separating and removing drugs from copper and molybdenum. The method involves removing drugs from a copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate slurry to obtain a copper-molybdenum separated slurry. Inorganic inhibitors, small-molecule organic inhibitors, and large-molecule organic inhibitors are added to the copper-molybdenum separated slurry, followed by a collector for roughing to obtain a rougher concentrate and rougher tailings. The rougher concentrate is then subjected to beneficiation to obtain a molybdenum concentrate, and the rougher tailings are subjected to scavenging to obtain a copper concentrate. However, the method involves a wide variety of reagents and consumes excessive amounts, which is not conducive to efficient utilization of minerals.

[0006] Publication number CN114471935A discloses a method for separating copper-molybdenum mixed concentrates by magnetic levitation. However, due to the small magnetic difference between copper and molybdenum, strong magnetic separation can partially separate copper and molybdenum, but a lot of copper ore still remains in the tailings, making efficient separation impossible. In addition, the molybdenum grade contained in the magnetic product during the magnetic separation process is high, and the molybdenum loss rate is high, which is not conducive to the comprehensive recovery of molybdenum.

[0007] At present, no effective processing technology for raw ore has been found. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a pre-oxidation-magnetic-flotation combined mineral processing process for enhancing the separation of copper-molybdenum mixed concentrates, which has the characteristics of low energy consumption, low production cost and good sorting effect.

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0010] A pre-oxidation-magnetic-flotation combined beneficiation process for enhancing the separation of copper-molybdenum mixed concentrates comprises the following steps:

[0011] Step (1): pre-oxidizing the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate; stirring and mixing a certain concentration of oxidant solution with the mineral, filtering after the reaction is completed, and then washing the surface with deionized water to obtain the initial raw ore;

[0012] Step (2): After the initial raw ore is slurried to form a slurry, it is added to a high gradient magnetic separator for magnetic separation. Under a certain magnetic field strength, two strong magnetic separations are performed to obtain a magnetic product, a non-magnetic product and a magnetically separated ore. The magnetic product is a copper concentrate.

[0013] Step (3): Combine the magnetically separated ore and non-magnetic products into flotation. The flotation process adopts one roughing process + three cleaning processes + three scavenging processes. Inhibitors, collectors and frothers are added in the roughing process and the scavenging process respectively. Only inhibitors are added to the cleaning process. After stirring evenly, aeration is started for flotation separation. The flotation concentrate is molybdenum concentrate.

[0014] As a preferred solution, in step (1), in order to better oxidize the copper-molybdenum mineral, 0.3 mol / L hydrogen peroxide solution and copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate are selected in a mass ratio of 2:1 to 1.5:1 and fused and stirred, and the oxidation time is selected to be 15-20 min.

[0015] As a preferred solution, in step (2), during the primary magnetic separation process, the pulp concentration is adjusted to 20% to 30%, the water flow rate is 2 L / min to 1.5 L / min, the magnetic induction intensity is 1.7 to 1.5 T, and the pulsation frequency is 100 to 120 r / min.

[0016] As a preferred solution, in step (2), during the secondary magnetic separation process, the pulp concentration is adjusted to 20% to 30%, the water flow rate is 2L / min to 1.5L / min, the magnetic induction intensity is 1.6 to 1.4T, and the pulsation frequency is 100 to 120r / min.

[0017] As a preferred solution, in step (2), the secondary magnetic separation effectively improves the copper grade in the magnetic concentrate, reduces the copper content in the non-magnetic product, and reduces the amount of flotation depressant used.

[0018] As a preferred solution, in the step (3), the inhibitor in the roughing and scavenging processes is sodium thioglycolate, sodium sulfide, and sodium hydrosulfide in a mass ratio of (1:5 to 1:10) or sodium thioglycolate is used alone; the amount of sodium thioglycolate used in the roughing of the combined inhibitor is 80 to 200 g / t; the amount of sodium thioglycolate used in the scavenging of the combined inhibitor is 30 to 100 g / t, which can effectively inhibit the flotation of chalcopyrite and enhance the copper-molybdenum separation efficiency.

[0019] As a preferred solution, in the step (3), the collector used in the roughing and scavenging is one of kerosene and diesel or they are used in combination according to a mass ratio of (1:1 to 1:2), and the amount of kerosene in the combined collector is 100 to 300 g / t, so as to achieve effective capture of molybdenum.

[0020] As a preferred solution, in step (3), the foaming agent in the roughing process is at least one of terpineol, methyl isobutyl carbinol, and diethyl phthalate, and the amount of the foaming agent added is 50 to 100 g / t.

[0021] As a preferred solution, in the step (3), the inhibitor in the beneficiation process is sodium thioglycolate, sodium sulfide, and sodium hydrosulfide in a mass ratio of (1:5 to 1:10) or sodium thioglycolate is used alone; the amount of crude sodium thioglycolate in the combined inhibitor is 50 to 100 g / t;

[0022] As a preferred solution, in step (3), the roughing flotation time is 8 to 11 minutes, and the cleaning and scavenging time is 5 to 8 minutes.

[0023] The copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate has a particle size of -200 mesh, with a proportion greater than 70%, a molybdenum grade of 6%-9%, and a copper grade ratio greater than 0.3%.

[0024] (1) The present invention provides a separation method and separation process with strong adaptability, high separation efficiency and separation depth, based on the characteristics of copper and molybdenum minerals. High-quality molybdenum concentrate is obtained through a combined process of ore pre-oxidation-magnetic separation-flotation. Pre-oxidation increases the magnetic difference between the two, and the two strong magnetic separations can effectively enrich copper. Flotation promotes the improvement of molybdenum quality and the reduction of impurities, thereby increasing the molybdenum grade in the molybdenum concentrate and reducing the impurity copper content.

[0025] (2) The pre-oxidation process of the present invention fully utilizes the properties of the reagents, and a strong oxidant (hydrogen peroxide, ozone, hypochlorous acid, etc.) is selected to oxidize the copper. This increases the surface magnetic difference, so that the subsequent magnetic separation process can better achieve copper enrichment. At the same time, the properties of molybdenum do not change much, thereby reducing its loss in magnetic separation. The flotation process of the non-magnetic product further improves the grade and recovery rate of molybdenum.

[0026] (3) The present invention is aimed at separating copper-molybdenum mixed concentrates by two strong magnetic separations, and the flotation is a roughing separation followed by three fine separations and three scavenging separations. After two magnetic separations, the Cu grade in the magnetic product obtained is significantly improved, indicating that Cu is largely enriched in the magnetic product. The Mo grade in the non-magnetic product also increases accordingly, indicating that magnetic separation can effectively separate copper and molybdenum. After the non-magnetic product and the magnetically separated ore are combined and flotation is performed, the molybdenum concentrate obtained has Cu < 0.1%, Mo > 45%, and a Mo loss rate of no more than 5%. The separation effect is obvious, the production energy consumption is low, and the amount of reagents used is greatly reduced.

[0027] The method for preparing molybdenum concentrate by separating copper and molybdenum of the present invention has simple steps, strong operability and strong adaptability to raw materials; the obtained molybdenum concentrate can meet the original requirements of major molybdenum companies for producing molybdenum concentrate powder, and solves the current problems of poor copper-molybdenum separation effect, high production energy consumption and poor indicators.
