The invention discloses a combined collecting agent for
galena and application of the combined collecting agent. The combined collecting agent comprises a
benzene derivative containing amino / amido and phenolic hydroxyl and ethyl
xanthate. The combined collecting agent comprises four combined types of 2-acetamido
phenol and ethyl
xanthate, 2-amino-4-methylphenol and ethyl
xanthate, 2 '-hydroxy-5'-methylacetanilide and ethyl xanthate, and
salicylamide and ethyl xanthate, has a good selective collecting effect on lead in preferential flotation, can effectively reduce mutual inclusion of lead and
zinc, and has the advantages of being high in selectivity, high in
recovery rate and high in
recovery rate. And the dosage is low. By means of the combined collecting agent, flotation separation of
galena and
sphalerite is effectively achieved, the
benzene derivative containing amino / amido and phenolic hydroxyl has a selective collecting effect on
galena, meanwhile, the activation effect of inevitable ions on
sphalerite is eliminated through
chelation, the use amount of ethyl xanthate is reduced, and the flotation efficiency of galena and
sphalerite is improved. The separation effect of the lead-
zinc sulfide ore is improved, the
utilization rate of lead-
zinc metal resources is increased, and meanwhile the ore dressing cost can be reduced.
