The invention relates to a whole-fraction flotation method for
lepidolite ore containing mud, and belongs to the technical field of
mineral processing. Aiming at the problems of serious
lithium loss in a mud
lepidolite ore desliming flotation process, poor indexes of a non-desliming flotation process and the like, a compound
regulator, a compound inhibitor and a compound collector are added to carry out multi-dimensional regulation and control on the whole process of ore
grinding, size mixing and collecting, so that the whole-size-fraction flotation
recovery of the mud
lepidolite ore is realized. The compound
regulator is used for optimizing the composition of the ore
grinding size fraction and reducing further argillization of the ore; the compound inhibitor is used for being selectively adsorbed to the surface of
gangue minerals, and the hydrophobization effect of the collecting agent on the surface of the
gangue minerals is hindered. The compound collecting agent is used for improving the separation difference between lepidolite and
gangue minerals, and efficient enrichment of lepidolite is achieved. According to the method, a conventional flotation process does not need to be changed, the worsening influence of slime on the flotation process can be solved only through the synergistic effect of flotation reagents, and the flotation index of lepidolite ore is remarkably improved under the condition that slime is not removed.
