Abstract

[0002] Among the ores of lead-zinc mines, sulfide ores are the main ones, and some oxide ores are mixed in them. In the process of oxide ore beneficiation, the sulfide ores will be selected first, and then the oxide ore will be sorted. When separating zinc and sulfur from oxide ore, due to the low flotation concentration, lime will be added to desulfurize and remove impurities in order to improve the grade of zinc concentrate. A large amount of gangue, pyrite and other conjoined bodies are suppressed into the zinc-sulfur separation tailings, which contain 1.0-2.0% lead, 2-5% zinc, and 200-400g / t silver. The metal loss is high. Due to the high zinc content, this part of the middlings will be sent to the sulfide zinc flotation system, resulting in an increase in the lead and silver content of the zinc concentrate, affecting the grade of the zinc concentrate, and the lead and silver cannot be effectively recovered.
