Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral processing, and particularly relates to a method for improving the tin recovery rate by regrinding and re-selecting porcelain balls in a shaking table. Background Art

[0002] Tin ore is a vital mineral resource, widely used in the electronics, ceramics, metallurgy, and chemical industries. Tin ore primarily originates from cassiterite. Crushing and grinding are typically used to separate the tin ore from gangue minerals, followed by recycling through gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation, and roasting. However, tin ore is brittle and prone to mudification and over-crushing during grinding, resulting in generally low cassiterite recovery rates.

[0003] At present, the recovery of fine-grained cassiterite mainly adopts flotation-gravity separation, flotation-magnetic separation, combined metallurgy process, high-efficiency flotation reagents, and high-efficiency equipment to achieve cassiterite recovery.

[0004] Related technologies have proposed a method for recycling fine-grained cassiterite, using a combined flotation-gravity separation process. This involves flotation with a combined collector, followed by gravity separation of the tin flotation concentrate, ultimately yielding a tin concentrate with a grade of 40-50%. Related technologies have proposed a method for separating and recovering tin from tin-containing tailings from beneficiation. The tin tailings are pelletized and then heated and roasted in a weakly reducing atmosphere. The tin in the tailings is reduced and volatilized into dust, and the tin is then recovered from the tin-containing dust. Related technologies have proposed a combined gravity separation method for the comprehensive recovery of tungsten and tin, namely, a combined process of a roughing shaker, a scavenging shaker, flotation, secondary flotation in a flotation classification tank, a fine shaker flotation, drying and dehydration, and magnetic separation and classification. This method can yield a tungsten concentrate with a grade of over 65% and a tin concentrate with a grade of over 45%. Related technologies propose a tin ore beneficiation shaking table and a tin ore beneficiation method, which divides the flotation tailings into three particle sizes of +0.075mm, -0.075+0.038mm, and -0.038mm, and then uses a beneficiation shaking table to achieve cassiterite re-selection recovery.

[0005] In summary, existing beneficiation or combined beneficiation and smelting methods can achieve the recovery of fine-grained tin to a certain extent. However, fine-grained grinding still suffers from low grinding efficiency, high energy consumption, and insufficient mineral dissociation, resulting in low tin metal recovery rates.

[0051] In order to further illustrate the present invention, the technical solutions provided by the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] Example 1: Laboratory porcelain ball mill flotation test

[0053] The object of treatment in this embodiment is mixed middlings, which are fine mud shaker concentrate and coarse-grained shaker middlings of co-existing tin ore, and the co-existing tin ore is cassiterite-sulfide skarn ore.

[0054] In this embodiment, a hydrocyclone is used to concentrate and desludify the mixed middlings to obtain a concentrated underflow. The concentration of the concentrated underflow is 85% and the particle size is -1 mm.

[0055] The concentrated underflow obtained in this example was used as a mill feed for grinding. The laboratory mill model was XMQ240×90, the grinding time was 10 minutes, and the grinding concentration was 70%. The grinding medium used in this example had a total grinding medium filling rate of 40%, a porcelain ball filling rate of 34%, and a steel ball filling rate of 6%. The porcelain ball mass ratio was 25 mm:20 mm = 80%:20%, and the steel ball particle size was 20 mm. The mill speed was 70 rpm. Since this example was a laboratory operation, the classification step was omitted, and the slurry was directly obtained after the grinding. The mass content of solid ore particles with a particle size of -0.075 mm in the slurry obtained in this example was 71.01%.

[0056] The obtained slurry is fed into a stirring flotation machine for desulfurization flotation. The desulfurization flotation process is one roughing, one cleaning and one scavenging. In the desulfurization flotation, no pH regulator is added. The roughing concentrate is subjected to desulfurization cleaning operation. No reagent is added in the desulfurization cleaning. The sulfur content of the sulfur concentrate is 16.64%, and the recovery rate is 55.98%. The roughing tailings are subjected to desulfurization scavenging operation. The scavenging operation adds 150 g / t of butyl xanthate as collector and 30 g / t of pine oil as frother. The scavenging concentrate is returned to the desulfurization roughing operation together with the cleaning tailings. The remaining slurry in the flotation tank is the flotation tailings.

[0057] The flotation tailings are fed into a permanent magnetic drum separator for demagnetization. Since the porcelain ball grinding (although steel balls are used, the proportion of steel balls is very small, so the steel balls do not produce iron basically) has no iron pollution, almost no magnetite concentrate is produced. Then, the demagnetized tailings are fed into a 6S table for gravity separation. The gravity separation only adopts one roughing. The tin concentrate with a tin content of 24.53% and a recovery rate of 37.97% is obtained.

[0058] Comparative Example 1: Laboratory steel ball grinding and flotation test

[0059] The present comparative example is basically the same as Example 1, except that the filling rate of the grinding medium is 30%, and the grinding medium is steel ball with a particle size of 50 mm. The grinding time is adjusted to obtain a slurry with a grinding fineness comparable to that of porcelain ball grinding. The obtained slurry is fed into a stirring flotation machine for flotation. The sulfur content of the sulfur concentrate is 14.83%, and the recovery rate is 47.99%. The flotation tailings are fed into a permanent magnetic drum separator for demagnetization. The yield of the magnetite concentrate is 0.23%. Then, the demagnetized tailings are fed into a 6S table for gravity separation. The gravity separation only adopts one roughing. The tin concentrate with a tin content of 26.48% and a recovery rate of 32.86% is obtained.

[0060] Example 2: Industrial porcelain ball grinding

[0061] The object treated in the present example is mixed middlings. The mixed middlings are fine slime table concentrate and coarse table middlings of a co-occurring tin ore. The co-occurring tin ore is a cassiterite-sulfide skarn ore.

[0062] The concentration of the mixed middlings in the present example is 85%, and the particle size is -1 mm.

[0063] The mixed medium ore obtained in this embodiment is fed into a mill for grinding. The industrial mill model is MQC1200×2400mm, the total filling rate of the grinding medium is 20%, the filling rate of the porcelain balls is 17%, the filling rate of the steel balls is 3%, the mass ratio of the porcelain balls is 25mm:20mm=80%:20%, the particle size of the steel balls is 20mm, the grinding concentration is 75%, the mill speed is 31r / min, and an initial slurry is obtained. The initial slurry is overflowed from the spiral classifier and the mass content of solid ore particles with a particle size of -0.075mm in the slurry is 75%.

[0064] The slurry enters a mixing tank for uniform mixing before flotation. The flotation process consists of a roughing, a finishing, and a scavenging process. In this embodiment, no pH adjuster is required for desulfurization flotation. The slurry undergoes desulfurization roughing with the addition of 400 g / t of copper sulfate as an activator, 300 g / t of butyl xanthate as a collector, and 60 g / t of pine oil as a frother. The rougher concentrate undergoes desulfurization and concentrating. The desulfurization and concentrating process is a blank selection process without the addition of any reagents, resulting in a sulfur concentrate with a sulfur content of 19.298% and a recovery rate of 48.14%. The rougher tailings undergo desulfurization and scavenging, with 150 g / t of butyl xanthate as a collector and 30 g / t of pine oil as a frother. The concentrating tailings and the scavenging concentrate are returned to the desulfurization and roughing process together. The remaining slurry in the flotation tank is the flotation tailings. The flotation tailings are demagnetized by a wet drum magnetic separator, yielding a magnetite concentrate with a yield of 0.062%.

[0065] In this embodiment, the underflow of the magnetic separator enters the shaking table for gravity separation, and the gravity separation process includes a coarse separation and a sweep separation, to obtain a tin concentrate with a tin content of 31.965% and a recovery rate of 19.93%.

[0066] Comparative Example 2: Industrial Steel Ball Grinding

[0067] This comparative example is basically the same as Example 2, except that: the grinding medium filling rate is 20%, the grinding medium is steel balls, the steel ball particle size is 50 mm, the grinding concentration is 75%, the mill speed is 31 r / min, and an initial slurry is obtained. The initial slurry is overflowed from the spiral classifier, and the mass content of solid mineral particles with a particle size of -0.075 mm in the slurry is 75%.

[0068] After mixing in a mixing tank, the slurry enters the flotation process, which involves a roughing, a finishing, and a scavenging process. This process produces a sulfur concentrate with a sulfur content of 10.94% and a recovery rate of 40.28%. The remaining slurry in the flotation tanks is the flotation tailings. The flotation tailings are demagnetized in a wet drum magnetic separator, producing a magnetite concentrate with a yield of 0.204%. The underflow from the magnetic separator enters the shaking table gravity separation process, which involves a roughing, a scavenging process, producing a tin concentrate with a tin content of 31.013% and a recovery rate of 16.3%.

[0069] From the above examples, the application provides a method for regrinding and reseparation of middlings porcelain ball in a shaking table, the mixed middlings composed of tin ore shaking table middlings (shaking table concentrate of fine slimes, middlings of coarse shaking table) is concentrated by desliming with a hydrocyclone or a spiral classifier, the underflow of the concentration is regrinded, the regrinding product is subjected to desulfurization flotation, the tailings of the desulfurization flotation are subjected to magnetic separation to remove magnetite, and finally, tin concentrate is obtained by shaking table gravity separation. The application not only can reduce tin ore sliming from the source, but also can improve the liberation of the ore and reduce the influence of iron pollution on desulfurization, and has important significance for improving the recovery rate of tin ore. The regrinding and reseparation method has the advantages of low energy consumption, easy operation and low separation cost, and can improve the tin recovery rate by 3-5 percent, and has obvious economic benefits.

[0070] Although the above examples make a detailed description of the application, it is only a part of the embodiments of the application, but not all the embodiments, and other embodiments can be obtained according to the embodiments without creativity, and these embodiments all belong to the protection scope of the application.
