The invention discloses a low-temperature combined collector for flotation and desilicication of
iron ore and application of the low-temperature combined collector, and belongs to the technical field of
iron ore flotation. The combined collecting agent is an anion combined collecting agent and is prepared from three components, the component 1 is
sodium oleate, the component 2 is
sodium linoleate, the component 3 is
sodium caprate, the component 1, the component 2 and the component 3 are prepared into aqueous solutions with the
mass concentration being 5% respectively, the proportion of the aqueous solutions of the component 1, the component 2 and the component 3 is adjusted, the aqueous solutions of the component 1, the component 2 and the component 3 are mixed to be uniform, and the low-temperature type
iron ore flotation desilicication combined collecting agent is obtained. The combined collecting agent is used for
reverse flotation desilicication of
refractory iron ore at the low temperature of 10-15 DEG C. According to the combined collecting agent, the defect that a traditional anion collecting agent is poor in collecting capacity under the low-temperature condition is overcome, the ore pulp temperature needed by iron ore
reverse flotation desilicication is reduced (heating is not needed), the
energy consumption of a dressing
plant is effectively reduced, and the combined collecting agent is wide in component source, convenient to commercially obtain, low in cost and beneficial to industrial application and popularization.
