The invention relates to the technical field of
bauxite flotation, in particular to a flotation combined inhibitor and a preparation method and application thereof. The flotation combined inhibitor is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by
mass: 30 to 50 parts of composite
phosphate, 20 to 40 parts of
cellulose compounds, 10 to 30 parts of natural
polymer products and 5 to 10 parts of
sodium silicate. According to the flotation combined inhibitor, efficient desulfurization of high-
sulfur bauxite is achieved through synergistic targeted inhibition of composite
phosphate,
cellulose compounds and natural
polymer products; meanwhile, the floatability and the
recovery efficiency of the aluminum minerals in the high-
sulfur bauxite are guaranteed through the strategies of selective design, low-dosage optimization and stable pH adjustment, and finally the
total recovery rate of the aluminum minerals in the high-
sulfur bauxite and the desulfurization effect of the high-sulfur bauxite are synchronously improved in the step-by-step flotation process.
