The invention discloses a
copper-
nickel sulfide ore two-stage grading method based on cooperation of vertical mill regrinding and a flotation column, and belongs to the technical field of efficient utilization of
nonferrous metal mineral resources. The method comprises the following steps:
grinding second-section raw ore by a vertical stirring mill, grading by a
hydrocyclone, and overflowing into a flotation column for second-section primary roughing and secondary roughing by the
hydrocyclone; roughing concentrates are combined and reground and then enter a flotation column to be subjected to second-section primary concentration and secondary concentration, concentrated concentrates are final concentrates, and concentrated middlings are cyclically reselected; roughing
tailings enter a flotation
machine for second-stage primary
scavenging and secondary
scavenging, scavenged
tailings are final
tailings, and scavenged middlings are cyclically re-separated; and primary middlings subjected to fine selection and
scavenging are combined and returned to the
cyclone for classification. Through the synergistic effect of selective regrinding of the vertical mill and precise separation of the flotation column, over-ground superfine
silt is reduced, and the
recovery rate of micro-fine particle minerals is increased; a column-
machine combined process is adopted, the equipment advantages of a flotation column and a flotation
machine are exerted, comprehensive
recovery of coarse and fine fraction
copper-
nickel minerals is achieved, the concentrate grade and the
metal recovery rate are improved, and meanwhile
energy conservation and consumption reduction in the whole process are achieved.
