The invention discloses a combined collecting agent in low-grade
copper-
molybdenum ore and application of the combined collecting agent, and belongs to the technical field of mineral separation. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, adding
lime into raw ore as an inhibitor,
grinding the ore, adding
kerosene and
butyl acrylate (or
butyl methacrylate) as a combined collecting agent and a
foaming agent, carrying out one-time roughing, two-time concentrating and three-time sweeping operation to obtain
copper-
molybdenum bulk concentrate, stirring the
copper-
molybdenum bulk concentrate for
reagent removal, and then carrying out copper-molybdenum separation operation;
sodium sulfide and
sodium thioglycollate are added as inhibitors, and copper concentrate and molybdenum concentrate are obtained after one-time roughing, four-time concentrating and three-time sweeping operation;
butyl acrylate (or
butyl methacrylate) involved in the method has a foaming effect,
kerosene and
butyl acrylate (or
butyl methacrylate) are used as the combined collecting agent, a
foaming agent does not need to be added in the process, the ore dressing cost is reduced, and meanwhile efficient
recovery of copper-molybdenum minerals is achieved.
