Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of low-grade mineral recovery technology, specifically relating to a high-efficiency comprehensive recovery system for low-grade complex oxidized lead-zinc-gold-silver ores. Background Technology
[0002] my country is a country with extremely rich oxidized lead-zinc ore deposits. However, with the development of lead-zinc-gold-silver deposits, rich ore resources are decreasing, ore grades are gradually decreasing, and the complexity of oxidized ores is becoming increasingly prominent. Lead-zinc-gold-silver deposits often contain precious metals such as gold and silver, which have extremely high comprehensive development and utilization value. However, the ore structure is complex, the gold and silver are embedded in small grains, mostly existing as inclusions, and the associated components are unstable, containing large amounts of clay, hematite, limonite, and soluble salts.
[0003] Currently, the separation and recovery of polymetallic oxide lead-zinc ores mainly employs the grinding-dispersant enhanced dispersion whole-slurry flotation process. However, this method has several problems: First, the high content of soluble ions and slime in the ore makes it difficult to effectively disperse the slurry even with large amounts of dispersant, resulting in high consumption of flotation reagents and difficulty in improving flotation indicators (grade and recovery rate). Second, for finely or complexly disseminated ores, pre-desliming leads to the loss of a large amount of valuable minerals. In addition, when using the fine grinding-carbon leaching method to recover precious metals, the interference of non-ferrous metal minerals results in low gold and silver recovery rates, high production costs, and difficulty in effectively recovering valuable components such as lead and zinc, leading to resource waste and environmental pollution risks.
[0004] Therefore, developing short-process, low-cost, and low- or pollution-free lead-zinc-gold-silver ore recovery systems has become an inevitable trend. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings and defects of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-efficiency comprehensive recovery system for low-grade complex oxidized lead-zinc-gold-silver ores. Based on the ore properties, it adopts a combination of a two-stage selective closed-circuit crushing and classifying system, a pulsed high-gradient magnetic separator, a cyanide carbon-in-pulp system, and a multi-stage flotation system to gradually reduce the impact of fine particles on flotation and improve the overall ore recovery rate.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a high-efficiency integrated recovery system for low-grade complex oxide lead-zinc-gold-silver ore, comprising a semi-autogenous mill. The discharge port of the semi-autogenous mill is connected to the inlet of a No. 1 classifying hydrocyclone via a No. 1 slurry pump. The underflow port of the No. 1 classifying hydrocyclone is connected to the inlet of a No. 1 ball mill. The discharge port of the No. 1 ball mill is connected to the inlet of a No. 2 classifying hydrocyclone via a No. 2 slurry pump. The underflow port of the No. 2 classifying hydrocyclone is connected to the inlet of the No. 2 ball mill. The overflow ports of both the No. 1 and No. 2 classifying hydrocyclones are connected to the inlet of a pulse high-gradient magnetic separator. The concentrate outlet and tailings outlet of the pulse high-gradient magnetic separator are respectively connected to the inlets of the No. 2 ball mill and the gold-silver-lead mixed flotation system. The discharge port of the No. 2 ball mill is connected to a cyanide carbon-in-pulp system. The tailings outlet of the gold-silver-lead mixed flotation system is connected to a zinc flotation system.
[0007] Furthermore, preferably, the diameter of the No. 1 and No. 2 cyclone separators is φ350mm.
[0008] Furthermore, preferably, both the gold-silver-lead mixed flotation system and the zinc flotation system include two mixing tanks, one rougher flotation machine, three cleaner flotation machines, and two scavenger flotation machines.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Before flotation, the minerals are selectively coarsely and finely ground using a two-stage selective crushing and classifying closed-circuit system. This avoids the over-grinding and mudding of primary fine-grained materials and slime, which would affect subsequent flotation. Then, a pulsed high-gradient magnetic separator is used to preferentially separate fine-grained hematite and limonite, further reducing the adverse effects of fine materials on flotation. Subsequently, a multi-stage flotation system and a cyanide carbon-in-pulp system are used to recover valuable metals from the magnetic separation tailings and gold- and silver-bearing hematite and limonite concentrates, respectively. This achieves the recovery of gold, silver, iron, lead, and zinc from low-grade complex oxidized lead-zinc-gold-silver ores, with gold recovery rates of over 82%, silver over 81%, iron over 72%, lead over 75%, and zinc over 60%. The comprehensive and efficient resource recovery effect is significant, successfully solving the problems of low recovery rate, high recovery cost, and failure to recover lead and zinc in single flotation processes. Moreover, this method is highly adaptable, simple and environmentally friendly, and has stable process indicators, providing guidance for the comprehensive utilization of resources in low-grade complex oxidized lead-zinc-gold-silver ores.

[0056] In summary, the present invention, when used to recover this type of low-grade complex oxidized lead-zinc-gold-silver ore, achieves recovery rates of over 88% for gold, over 86% for silver, over 72% for iron, over 75% for lead, and over 60% for zinc. This demonstrates a significant and efficient comprehensive resource recovery effect. Furthermore, the system exhibits strong adaptability to this type of ore, a simple and environmentally friendly structure, and stable process indicators, providing guidance for the comprehensive utilization of low-grade complex oxidized lead-zinc-gold-silver ore resources.
[0057] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific and preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
