The invention relates to a flotation method for inhibiting
pyrite in
lead zinc ore, and belongs to the technical field of
mineral flotation. The method comprises the following steps: 1) crushing and
grinding raw ore to obtain an ore
grinding product; (2) sequentially adding a pH
regulator, a
sulfur inhibitor A, a
sulfur inhibitor B, a
zinc inhibitor, a lead collecting agent and a
foaming agent into the ore
grinding product obtained in the step (1), and carrying out roughing,
scavenging and concentration to obtain lead concentrate and lead separation
tailings; (3) sequentially adding a pH
regulator, a
sulfur inhibitor A, a sulfur inhibitor B, a
zinc activating agent, a
zinc collecting agent and a
foaming agent into the lead flotation
tailings obtained in the step (2), and carrying out roughing,
scavenging and concentration to obtain zinc concentrate and
tailings; wherein the sulfur inhibitor A is
tartaric acid; and the sulfur inhibitor B is hydroxy propyl
cellulose. According to the method, the specific inhibitor is selected, meanwhile, the specific agent adding sequence is controlled, selective efficient inhibition of
pyrite in the lead-zinc ore can be achieved, and efficient
recovery of lead and zinc is achieved.
