The application discloses a
beneficiation method for recovering
tungsten from polymetallic
tungsten tailings, and is characterized by comprising the following steps: obtaining strong magnetic concentrate and strong magnetic
tailings through strong
magnetic separation; concentrating the strong magnetic concentrate to a
slurry with a concentration of 30%, adding
sodium carbonate to the
slurry to make the pH value of the
slurry reach 7.0-9.0, then adding
sodium hexametaphosphate, OS, salted water glass,
lead nitrate and a
tungsten capturing agent, and then feeding the mixture into a flotation
machine to obtain
wolframite concentrate and
wolframite tailings; adjusting the strong magnetic tailings to a slurry with a concentration of 30%, adding
oxalic acid, water glass and a capturing agent LLR to the slurry, and then feeding the mixture into a flotation
machine to obtain
scheelite-
fluorite concentrate and co-floating tailings; and concentrating the
scheelite-
fluorite concentrate to a slurry with a concentration of 30%, and then performing 'one roughing and three cleaning' centrifugal
gravity separation to obtain
scheelite concentrate and
fluorite concentrate. Under the acid condition, the flotation effect of the fluorite is enhanced, the interference on the scheelite flotation is reduced as much as possible, and the
recovery rate and grade of the
wolframite concentrate and the scheelite concentrate are improved.
