Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of mineral processing and smelting, and specifically to a combined process for the beneficiation and smelting of high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore. Background Technology
[0002] With continued economic development, the demand for copper and cobalt metals is increasing, but high-quality resources that are easy to mine and beneficiate are gradually being depleted. High-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ores with complex mineral compositions, prone to mud formation, and low ore grades have become important raw material sources. Currently, for easily beneficiated high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ores, especially those with minimal mud formation, most are processed using a combined beneficiation and metallurgical process. This involves first performing systematic beneficiation and purification to obtain a concentrate with fewer impurities, higher grade, and lower acid consumption. The concentrate product is then subjected to wet leaching. For difficult and extremely difficult-to-beneficiate high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ores, due to high reagent consumption, low beneficiation recovery rates, and poor economic benefits, chemical methods are generally the only option. Existing processing methods suffer from low beneficiation recovery rates and high production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0053] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The combined beneficiation and smelting process for high oxidation rate copper-cobalt ore of the present invention divides high oxidation rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore and processes them with different beneficiation and smelting processes. Among them, lump ore has good beneficiation properties, low flotation reagent consumption, and high leaching acid consumption. Through copper sulfide flotation, copper oxide flotation, cobalt flotation and magnetic separation, a cascade beneficiation separation is carried out to obtain a concentrate with high grade and low leaching acid consumption. This avoids the high oxidation rate copper-cobalt ore with high mud content and poor beneficiation properties from entering the flotation process, which would worsen the flotation, reduce the flotation recovery rate, and cause metal loss to the tailings. On the other hand, fine ore has poor beneficiation properties, but low leaching acid consumption and the fineness of the leached ore is much lower than the required beneficiation fineness. This can reduce grinding losses and avoid a large amount of acid-consuming substances in the lump ore from entering the slurry, thus reducing leaching acid consumption. (2) For high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore, a beneficiation process of first sulfur followed by oxygen and then magnetic separation of flotation tailings is used to obtain copper sulfide concentrate, copper oxide concentrate, cobalt concentrate, magnetic concentrate and magnetically separated ore, so as to achieve the stepwise separation and enrichment of different copper-bearing minerals in high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore; for magnetically separated ore with low grade and high leaching acid consumption, neutralization with the raffinate obtained from smelting leaching can save a lot of sulfuric acid, and the leaching rate can reach 65%-95%; (3) For copper-cobalt ore with high oxidation rate, copper sulfide concentrate B and sulfur tailings are obtained by grinding, copper sulfide flotation process and regrinding. Copper sulfide concentrate B is leached by roasting and sulfur tailings are leached by wet process to improve the overall recovery rate.

[0058] In this description, it should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, "above" and "below" include the stated number, "multiple" in "one or more" means two or more, and "more than" in "one or more" means two or more.
[0059] The notation “-0.074mm” and “-200 mesh” is common in the mineral processing field. The negative sign indicates that the value is below that value. For example, the particle size of -0.074mm indicates that the particle size is below 0.074mm.
[0060] An embodiment of the present invention provides a combined process for the fractional beneficiation and smelting of high oxidation rate copper-cobalt ore, wherein the raw ore is first divided into lump ore and fine ore, wherein the particle size of the fine ore is less than 250 mm and the particle size of the lump ore is greater than 250 mm; The lump ore is ground to obtain a lump ore slurry, during which a sulfidating agent and a collector are added; the lump ore slurry is then subjected to copper sulfide roughing to obtain copper sulfide rough concentrate and copper sulfide roughing tailings; the copper sulfide rough concentrate is then subjected to copper sulfide cleaning to obtain copper sulfide concentrate and copper sulfide cleaning tailings; the copper sulfide roughing tailings are then subjected to copper sulfide scavenging to obtain copper sulfide scavenging concentrate and copper sulfide scavenging tailings; the copper sulfide cleaning tailings and / or copper sulfide scavenging concentrate are returned to the copper sulfide roughing process. The copper sulfide scavenging tailings are subjected to copper oxide flotation to obtain copper oxide concentrate and copper oxide flotation tailings; the copper oxide flotation tailings are subjected to cobalt flotation to obtain cobalt concentrate and cobalt flotation tailings; the cobalt flotation tailings are subjected to magnetic separation to obtain magnetic concentrate, magnetically separated concentrate and magnetically separated tailings. Fine ore is ground to obtain a fine ore slurry, with a sulfiding agent and a collector added during the grinding process; the fine ore slurry is then subjected to copper sulfide roughing (B) to obtain copper sulfide rough concentrate (B) and copper sulfide roughing tailings (B); the copper sulfide roughing tailings (B) are then subjected to copper sulfide scavenging (B) to obtain copper sulfide scavenging concentrate (B) and copper sulfide scavenging tailings (B); the copper sulfide rough concentrate (B) and / or copper sulfide scavenging concentrate (B) are regrinded to obtain a regrinded slurry; the regrinded slurry is then subjected to copper sulfide cleaning (B) to obtain copper sulfide concentrate (B) and copper sulfide cleaning tailings (B); the copper sulfide scavenging tailings (B) and copper sulfide cleaning tailings (B) are sulfur beneficiation tailings; The obtained copper sulfide concentrate and / or copper sulfide concentrate B are roasted and then wet leached; one or more of the obtained copper oxide concentrate, cobalt concentrate, magnetic separation concentrate, and sulfur tailings are wet leached; the obtained magnetic separation concentrate is neutralized with the raffinate obtained from the smelting leaching. The raw ore has a copper grade of 1wt%~4wt%, a cobalt grade of 0.05wt%~1wt%, and an oxidation rate of 60wt%~100wt%; the lump ore slurry has a particle size of -0.074mm, accounting for 70wt%~80wt%; the fine ore slurry has a particle size of -0.074mm, accounting for 58wt%~68wt%; and the regrinding slurry has a particle size of -0.074mm, accounting for 70wt%~80wt%.
[0061] In actual production, it has been found that for the same type of high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore, the beneficiation recovery rate, reagent consumption, and leaching acid consumption differ significantly between lump ore and fine ore. Within the same ore heap, the acid consumption per ton of copper leached from some fine ore is as low as 0.1 tons of acid per ton of copper, while the acid consumption per ton of copper leached from lump ore exceeds 10 tons of acid per ton of copper. Phase analysis also reveals significant differences in the gangue content required for acid leaching between fine ore and lump ore; generally, lump ore has a higher gangue content, while fine ore has a lower gangue content, resulting in a faster leaching rate. Currently, many beneficiation plants process high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore fines and lump ore together, which either greatly reduces the beneficiation recovery rate, causing significant metal loss, or results in high leaching acid consumption, impacting the economic efficiency of beneficiation and metallurgy. This scheme first classifies the ore according to particle size. Lump ore with high oxidation rate copper-cobalt has good floatability but high leaching acid consumption. Through cascade beneficiation separation using copper sulfide flotation, copper oxide flotation, cobalt flotation, and magnetic separation, a higher-grade concentrate with lower leaching acid consumption is obtained. The concentrate product is then subjected to wet leaching. The resulting magnetically separated concentrate has low grade and high acid consumption; this is neutralized with the raffinate from smelting leaching, eliminating the need for additional acid addition, achieving a leaching rate of 65-95%, maximizing efficiency. Fine ore with high oxidation rate copper-cobalt has poor beneficiation, high mud content, and low leaching acid consumption. The grinding product undergoes desulfurization and is then subjected to wet leaching, improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of high oxidation rate copper-cobalt resources and enhancing beneficiation and smelting economic benefits. Separating lump ore and fine ore allows for different grinding methods to be used for different types of ore, saving resources and improving recovery efficiency.

A Cu 2+ It coordinates with two ethylenediamine molecules to form a stable, water-soluble complex cation [Cu(en)2]. 2+ In the alkaline (pH>9) pulp environment required for flotation, free Cu 2+ It will rapidly form Cu(OH)₂ precipitate and become ineffective. [Cu(en)₂] 2+ It is very stable and can effectively prevent copper ion precipitation, ensuring that the activator components are present in the slurry.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the copper sulfide crude concentrate B and the copper sulfide scavenging concentrate B are regrinded, hydraulic classification is first performed to grind the large-particle-size sand products and combine them to obtain regrinding slurry.

[0128] In embodiments of the present invention, the sludge dispersant used in the copper sulfide concentrate B includes sodium hexametaphosphate. Sodium hexametaphosphate hydrolyzes in water and adsorbs onto the surface of the sludge particles. Its hydrolysis products—polyphosphate ions carrying multiple negative charges—strongly adsorb onto the sludge surface. This adsorption significantly increases the negative charge density on the surface of the sludge particles, thereby increasing the electrostatic repulsion between particles, making them difficult to approach and aggregate, thus promoting dispersion. The relatively long molecular chain of sodium hexametaphosphate, after adsorption onto the particle surface, creates a spatial barrier extending into the solution, physically hindering the approach of other particles, thereby aiding dispersion.

The activator used in the cobalt flotation is a combination of copper sulfate and ethylenediamine in a mass ratio of 1:2; The collector used in the cobalt flotation is a combination of black powder and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3; The first stage of cobalt roughing uses an activator (400 g / t), a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 1000 g / t), a collector (60 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). The second stage of cobalt roughing uses an activator (200 g / t), a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 600 g / t), and a collector (50 g / t).

(4) The copper sulfide crude concentrate B and the copper sulfide scavenging concentrate B are combined and regrinded to obtain a regrinding slurry; When the copper sulfide crude concentrate B and the copper sulfide scavenging concentrate B are regrinded, hydraulic classification is first performed to grind the large-particle-size sand products into finer particles and combine them to obtain regrinding slurry. The regrinding slurry has the following particle size distribution: -0.074 mm particles account for 75 wt%; the slurry concentration is 65 wt%. (5) The regrinding slurry is subjected to copper sulfide beneficiation B to obtain copper sulfide concentrate B and copper sulfide beneficiation tailings B; the obtained copper sulfide beneficiation tailings B and copper sulfide scavenging tailings B are combined into beneficiation tailings.

The first-stage copper sulfide beneficiation process (B) uses a clay dispersant (sodium hexametaphosphate, 300 g / t), a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, 20 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). The second-stage copper sulfide beneficiation process (B) uses a clay dispersant (sodium hexametaphosphate, 150 g / t), a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, 10 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 2 g / t).
[0137] Concentrate trend: like Figure 3 As shown, the copper sulfide concentrate obtained from the lump ore portion is roasted and then subjected to wet leaching, while the copper oxide concentrate, cobalt concentrate, and magnetic separation concentrate are also subjected to wet leaching; the magnetic separation concentrate is neutralized with the raffinate obtained from the smelting leaching. The copper sulfide concentrate B obtained from the fine ore portion is roasted and then subjected to wet leaching, while the tailings from the sulfur beneficiation process are also subjected to wet leaching.
[0138] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example uses the same ore as in Example 1.
[0139] In contrast, this comparative example does not divide high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, but processes it entirely according to the lump ore process. The following are the specific differences from Example 1.
[0140] (1) In the grinding process, a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, dosage 140g / t) and a collector (pentyl xanthate, dosage 170g / t) are added during the grinding process; the rest is the same as in Example 1; (2) In the roughing process of copper sulfide, a frother (pine oil, dosage 45 g / t) and a collector (pentyl xanthate, dosage 20 g / t) are used; the rest is the same as in Example 1; (3) The copper sulfide beneficiation process is the same as in Example 1; (4) The copper sulfide scavenging process is the same as in Example 1; (5) In the copper oxide flotation process: The first-stage roughing of copper oxide uses a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 1800 g / t), a collector (pentyl xanthate, 160 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 15 g / t). The second-stage roughing of copper oxide uses a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 800 g / t), a collector (pentyl xanthate, 70 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). The copper oxide scavenging process uses a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, dosage 800 g / t) and a collector (pentyl xanthate, dosage 60 g / t). Everything else is the same as in Example 1; (6) In the cobalt flotation process: The first stage of cobalt roughing uses an activator (500 g / t), a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 1200 g / t), a collector (70 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 10 g / t). The second stage of cobalt roughing uses an activator (250 g / t), a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 700 g / t), a collector (60 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). The cobalt scavenging process uses an activator (200 g / t), a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 600 g / t), a collector (35 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). Everything else is the same as in Example 1; (7) The magnetic separation process is the same as in Example 1.
[0141] Comparative Example 2 This comparative example uses the same ore as in Example 1.
[0142] In contrast, this comparative example does not divide high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, but processes it entirely according to the fine ore process. The following are the specific differences from Example 1.
[0143] (1) In the grinding process, a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, dosage 150g / t) and a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, dosage 180g / t) are added during the grinding process; other aspects are the same as in Example 1; (2) In the roughing process B of copper sulfide, a foaming agent (pine oil, dosage 35g / t) is used; otherwise, it is the same as in Example 1; (3) In the copper sulfide scavenging process B, the collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, with a dosage of 20 g / t) and the foaming agent (pine oil, with a dosage of 5 g / t) are used; the rest is the same as in Example 1; (4) The regrinding process is the same as in Example 1; (5) In the copper sulfide beneficiation process B: The first-stage copper sulfide beneficiation process (B) uses a clay dispersant (sodium hexametaphosphate, 350 g / t), a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, 30 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). The second-stage copper sulfide beneficiation process (B) uses a clay dispersant (sodium hexametaphosphate, 200 g / t), a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, 15 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 3 g / t). Everything else is the same as in Example 1.
[0144] The experimental results of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows that the recovery rate of lump ore beneficiation in Example 1 was 84.06%; the consumption of sulfiding agent was 5.12 kg / ton of ore, and the consumption of collector was 0.565 kg / ton of ore; the recovery rate of mixed ore beneficiation in Comparative Example 1, without distinguishing between lump ore and fine ore, was 71.23%; while the recovery rate of Comparative Example 1 decreased, the amount of flotation reagents increased, with a sulfiding agent consumption of 6.04 kg / ton of ore and a collector consumption of 0.66 kg / ton of ore; the recovery rate of fine ore beneficiation in Comparative Example 3 was approximately 61%. This indicates that using lump ore beneficiation technology after fine ore enters the lump ore group worsens the flotation effect and consumes more flotation reagents.
[0145] The copper oxide concentrate, cobalt concentrate, and magnetic separation concentrate obtained from the lump ore portion of Example 1 were subjected to wet leaching, with an acid consumption of approximately 4.50 tons of acid per ton of copper. The sulfur tailings obtained from the fine ore portion of Example 1 were subjected to wet leaching, with an acid consumption of approximately 2.57 tons of acid per ton of copper. The acid consumption for leaching the concentrate obtained in Comparative Example 1 was approximately 4.15 tons of acid per ton of copper, and the acid consumption for leaching the sulfur tailings obtained in Comparative Example 2 was approximately 8.35 tons of acid per ton of copper (the acid consumption of copper sulfide roasted sand is very low and negligible). It is evident that dividing high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, and using the invented combined beneficiation and smelting process, improves the beneficiation recovery rate, reduces the consumption of flotation reagents, and reduces the leaching acid consumption.

The regrinding slurry has the following particle size distribution: -0.074 mm particles account for 75 wt%; the slurry concentration is 67 wt%. (5) The regrinding slurry is subjected to copper sulfide beneficiation B to obtain copper sulfide concentrate B and copper sulfide beneficiation tailings B; the obtained copper sulfide beneficiation tailings B and copper sulfide scavenging tailings B are combined into beneficiation tailings. The copper sulfide beneficiation process B is divided into four stages; the concentrate from the last stage of copper sulfide beneficiation B is called copper sulfide concentrate B, and the concentrates from other stages of copper sulfide beneficiation B are sent to the next stage of operation; the tailings from the first stage of copper sulfide beneficiation B are called copper sulfide beneficiation tailings B, and the tailings from other stages of copper sulfide beneficiation B are returned to the previous stage of operation. The first-stage copper sulfide beneficiation process (B) uses a clay dispersant (sodium hexametaphosphate, 250 g / t), a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, 20 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). The second-stage copper sulfide beneficiation process (B) uses a clay dispersant (sodium hexametaphosphate, 120 g / t), a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, 10 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 2 g / t).
[0151] Concentrate trend: The copper sulfide concentrate obtained from the lump ore portion is roasted and then subjected to wet leaching. The copper oxide concentrate, cobalt concentrate, and magnetically separated concentrate are also subjected to wet leaching. The magnetically separated concentrate is neutralized with the raffinate obtained from the smelting leaching.
[0152] The copper sulfide concentrate B obtained from the fine ore portion was roasted and then subjected to wet leaching, while the sulfur tailings were subjected to wet leaching.
[0153] Comparative Example 3 This comparative example uses the same ore as Example 2.
[0154] In contrast, this comparative example does not divide high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, and processes all of them according to the lump ore process. The following are the specific differences from Example 2.
[0155] (1) In the grinding process, a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, dosage 120g / t) and a collector (pentyl xanthate, dosage 140g / t) are added during the grinding process; the rest is the same as in Example 2; (2) In the roughing process of copper sulfide, a frother (pine oil, dosage 40 g / t) and a collector (pentyl xanthate, dosage 15 g / t) are used; the rest is the same as in Example 2; (3) The copper sulfide refining process is the same as in Example 2; (4) In the copper sulfide scavenging process, a frother (pine oil, 5 g / t) and a collector (pentyl xanthate, 10 g / t) are used; the rest is the same as in Example 2. (5) In the copper oxide flotation process: The first-stage roughing of copper oxide uses a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 1400 g / t), a collector (pentyl xanthate, 140 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 15 g / t). The second-stage roughing of copper oxide uses a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, dosage 700 g / t) and a collector (pentyl xanthate, dosage 60 g / t). The copper oxide scavenging process uses a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 700 g / t), a collector (pentyl xanthate, 60 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). Everything else is the same as in Example 2; (6) In the cobalt flotation process: The first stage of cobalt roughing uses an activator (400 g / t), a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 1000 g / t), a collector (70 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). The second stage of cobalt roughing uses an activator (200 g / t), a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 500 g / t), and a collector (40 g / t). The cobalt scavenging process uses an activator (150 g / t), a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, 500 g / t), a collector (35 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). Everything else is the same as in Example 2; (7) The magnetic separation process is the same as in Example 2.
[0156] Comparative Example 4 This comparative example uses the same ore as Example 2.
[0157] In contrast, this comparative example does not separate high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, but processes it entirely according to the fine ore process. The following are the specific differences from Example 2.
[0158] (1) In the grinding process, a sulfiding agent (sodium hydrosulfide, dosage 120g / t) and a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, dosage 140g / t) are added during the grinding process; other aspects are the same as in Example 2; (2) In the rough selection B process of copper sulfide, a foaming agent (pine oil, dosage 30g / t) is used; otherwise, it is the same as in Example 2; (3) In the copper sulfide scavenging process B, the collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, with a dosage of 25 g / t) and the foaming agent (pine oil, with a dosage of 5 g / t) are used; the rest is the same as in Example 2; (4) The regrinding process is the same as in Example 2; (5) In the copper sulfide beneficiation process B: The first-stage copper sulfide beneficiation process (B) uses a clay dispersant (sodium hexametaphosphate, 200 g / t), a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, 25 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 5 g / t). The second-stage copper sulfide beneficiation process (B) uses a clay dispersant (sodium hexametaphosphate, 100 g / t), a collector (a combination of salicylic acid and pentyl xanthate in a mass ratio of 1:3, 15 g / t), and a foaming agent (pine oil, 3 g / t). Everything else is the same as in Example 2.
[0159] The experimental results of Example 2, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4 are shown in Table 1. Table 2 shows that the recovery rate of lump ore beneficiation in Example 2 was 78.99%; the consumption of sulfiding agent was 4.1 kg / t, and the consumption of collector was 0.46 kg / t; the recovery rate of mixed ore beneficiation in Comparative Example 3, which did not distinguish between lump ore and fine ore, was 65.31%; while the recovery rate of Comparative Example 3 decreased, the amount of flotation reagents increased, with a sulfiding agent consumption of 4.92 kg / t and a collector consumption of 0.57 kg / t. The recovery rate of fine ore beneficiation in Comparative Example 3 was approximately 61%. This indicates that using lump ore beneficiation technology after fine ore enters the lump ore group worsens the flotation effect and consumes more flotation reagents.
[0160] In Example 2, the copper oxide concentrate, cobalt concentrate, and magnetic separation concentrate obtained from the lump ore portion underwent wet leaching, with an acid consumption of approximately 5.6 tons of acid per ton of copper. The sulfur tailings obtained from the fine ore portion of Example 2 underwent wet leaching, with an acid consumption of approximately 3.15 tons of acid per ton of copper. The acid consumption for leaching the concentrate obtained in Comparative Example 3 was approximately 4.85 tons of acid per ton of copper, and the acid consumption for leaching the sulfur tailings obtained in Comparative Example 4 was approximately 10.88 tons of acid per ton of copper (the acid consumption for copper sulfide roasted ore was very low and negligible). It is evident that dividing high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, and using the invented combined beneficiation and smelting process, improves the beneficiation recovery rate, reduces the consumption of flotation reagents, and reduces leaching acid consumption.

[0162] Comparative Example 5 This comparative example uses the same raw ore, lump ore, and fine ore as Example 1.
[0163] Compared with Example 1, this comparative example also divides high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, and processes them according to the beneficiation and smelting processes for lump ore and fine ore respectively. However, some process parameters are different, mainly cobalt flotation, magnetic separation, copper sulfide scavenging B and copper sulfide beneficiation B. The specific differences from Example 1 are as follows.
[0164] Lump ore beneficiation process: (1) The grinding process is the same as in Example 1; (2) The roughing process for copper sulfide is the same as in Example 1; (3) The copper sulfide beneficiation process is the same as in Example 1; (4) The copper sulfide scavenging process is the same as in Example 1; (5) The copper oxide flotation process is the same as in Example 1; (6) In the cobalt flotation process, the collector used is pentyl xanthate, and no activator is used; otherwise, it is the same as in Example 1. (7) In the magnetic separation process, the tailings from magnetic separation (the tailings from magnetic separation in Example 1) and the tailings from magnetic sweeping are combined into magnetic separation tailings, and the rest is the same as in Example 1; Fine ore beneficiation process: (1) The grinding process is the same as in Example 1; (2) The rough selection process B for copper sulfide is the same as in Example 1; (3) In the copper sulfide scavenging process B, the collector used is pentyl xanthate; otherwise, it is the same as in Example 1. (4) The regrinding process is the same as in Example 1; (5) In the copper sulfide beneficiation process B, the collector used is pentyl xanthate, and no slime dispersant is used; otherwise, it is the same as in Example 1.
[0165] The experimental results of Comparative Example 5 are shown in Table 3. When pentyl xanthate was used as the cobalt flotation collector and no activator was used, the total copper recovery rate was 78.57%. Comparing Tables 1 and 3, it can be seen that Example 1, which used a combination collector and activator to enhance cobalt flotation, significantly improved the beneficiation indicators, with a total copper recovery rate of 84.06% (even after removing the magnetically separated ore, the total copper recovery rate reached 82.59%). In addition, since the acid consumption of magnetically separated ore is high (approximately 18 tons of acid per ton of copper, resulting in poor smelting economic benefits), neutralizing the magnetically separated ore with the raffinate obtained from smelting leaching not only avoids additional acid consumption but also achieves a 70% recovery rate for this portion of magnetically separated ore. For fine ore, after using a combination collector and slime dispersant, some difficult-to-beneficiate copper sulfide minerals (copper sulfide concentrate B) in the fine ore were recovered, and the beneficiation recovery rate was improved.

[0167] Comparative Example 6 This comparative example uses the same ore as Comparative Example 3.
[0168] Compared with Comparative Example 3, this comparative example also does not divide high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, and processes them all according to the lump ore process. However, some process parameters are different, mainly cobalt flotation and magnetic separation. The specific differences from Comparative Example 3 are as follows.
[0169] (1) The grinding process is the same as that in Comparative Example 3; (2) The roughing process of copper sulfide is the same as that of Comparative Example 3; (3) The copper sulfide beneficiation process is the same as that in Comparative Example 3; (4) The copper sulfide scavenging process is the same as that in Comparative Example 3; (5) The copper oxide flotation process is the same as that in Comparative Example 3; (6) In the cobalt flotation process, the collector used is pentyl xanthate, and no activator is used; otherwise, it is the same as Comparative Example 1. (7) In the magnetic separation process, the tailings from magnetic separation (magnetically separated tailings in Comparative Example 3) and the tailings from magnetic sweeping are combined into magnetic separation tailings, and the rest is the same as in Comparative Example 3.
[0170] Comparative Example 7 This comparative example uses the same ore as Comparative Example 4.
[0171] Compared with Comparative Example 4, this comparative example also does not divide high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ore into lump ore and fine ore, and processes them all according to the fine ore process. However, some process parameters are different, mainly copper sulfide scavenging B and copper sulfide beneficiation B. The specific differences from Comparative Example 4 are as follows.
[0172] (1) The grinding process is the same as that in Comparative Example 4; (2) The rough selection process B for copper sulfide is the same as that in Comparative Example 4; (3) In the copper sulfide scavenging process B, the collector used is pentyl xanthate; the rest is the same as in Comparative Example 4; (4) The regrinding process is the same as in Comparative Example 4; (5) In the copper sulfide beneficiation process B, the collector used is pentyl xanthate, and no slime dispersant is used; otherwise, it is consistent with Comparative Example 4.
[0173] The experimental results of Comparative Examples 6 and 7 are shown in Table 4. Comparing Tables 1 and 4, it can be seen that for high-oxidation-rate copper-cobalt ores that are a mixture of lump ore and fine ore, the beneficiation recovery rate of lump ore was improved by using a combination of collectors and slime dispersants. In the fine ore process, some difficult-to-process copper sulfide minerals were recovered, resulting in an improved beneficiation recovery rate.
