The invention relates to a short-process
cascade flotation method for micro-fine particle lead-
zinc oxide ore, and belongs to the technical field of
mineral processing. According to the method, after the lead-
zinc oxide ore is levigated, a multi-element activating agent is added to deeply activate the
lead oxide ore in the ore, a multi-element collecting agent is adopted to carry out reinforced
dewatering on the activated
lead oxide ore, and then a flotation
machine is utilized to preferentially recover lead concentrate; a compound
regulator is added into lead flotation
tailings to fully disperse ore pulp and selectively
mask active sites on the surface of
gangue minerals, the surface hydrophobicity of
zinc oxide minerals and the stability, liquidity and
viscosity of a flotation foam layer are accurately regulated and controlled through a compound collecting agent, then the zinc
oxide minerals are rapidly and efficiently recycled through a flotation column, and the flotation efficiency of the flotation column is improved. And high-quality zinc concentrate can be obtained only through one-time roughing. According to the method, the flotation
machine and the flotation column are used in a combined mode, the high separation precision of the flotation column and the synergistic effect of the combined
reagent are fully exerted, and short-process
cascade separation and efficient enrichment of the micro-fine particle lead-zinc oxide ore are achieved.
