The invention discloses an efficient flotation inhibitor for
galena and
pyrite separation and application of the efficient flotation inhibitor. The inhibitor adopts a
ternary compound system of modified lignosulfonate, an organic
phosphate corrosion inhibitor and an organic
reducing agent, and all the components have a synergistic effect. And the used components are low-
toxicity or non-toxic organic compounds and do not contain extremely toxic substances such as
cyanide and dichromate, so that the alkaline tailing
pollution of a high-alkali
lime method is avoided, and the green mineral separation requirement is met. During application, efficient separation can be realized under a
weak base condition, the pH of ore pulp does not need to be increased to 11 or above,
lime consumption is greatly reduced,
corrosion and abrasion of equipment are reduced, and meanwhile, the over-inhibition risk of
galena is reduced. The dosage of a roughing inhibitor is small, and the total dosage is low due to subsection decrement addition during concentration. And the N, N-diethyldithiocarbamate is adopted as the collecting agent, the agent
system is simple, and industrial implementation is easy. The inhibitor still has a good inhibition effect on
pyrite activated by
copper ions, overcomes the defect of poor adaptability of a traditional high-alkali method, and has strong adaptability to ores with different properties.
