This invention relates to a
mineral processing method for improving the
copper metal recovery rate of quench
slag using slow-cooling
slag. The method includes the following steps: (1) after crushing the slow-cooling
slag, wet-milling it to a
fineness of 60%~65%-325 mesh, and then performing
copper flotation to obtain slow-cooling slag flotation
copper concentrate; (2) after crushing and wet-milling the quench slag, adjusting the
slurry, and sequentially adding
sodium sulfide, butyl
xanthate, and 2 # (2) The oil is subjected to coarser-grained copper
mineral flotation to obtain copper rough concentrate I and primary rougher
tailings; (3) The primary rougher
tailings are concentrated and
slurry-adjusted, then ground, and
sodium sulfide is added first, followed by slow-cooling slag to float the copper concentrate for a second rougher, to obtain fine-grained copper rough concentrate II and secondary rougher
tailings; (4)
Copper rough concentrate I and copper rough concentrate II are combined and subjected to two cleaning processes to obtain copper concentrate and middlings from each cleaning process; (5) The secondary rougher tailings are
slurry-adjusted and then added to slow-cooling slag to float the copper concentrate for copper mineral
scavenging, to obtain scavenged middlings and scavenged tailings. This invention has a
high copper recovery rate, simple operation, and strong process applicability.
