The invention relates to the technical field of
mineral processing, in particular to a flotation
reagent for improving the separation efficiency of
indium tin antimony ores and a preparation method of the flotation
reagent, the flotation
reagent comprises an activating agent, a collecting agent, an inhibitor, a
foaming agent, a pH adjusting agent and an auxiliary agent, the collecting agent is a
mixed solution of N, N-diethyldithiocarbamate, N-phenylacetylhydroxamic acid (NPHA) and
sodium carbonate, and the inhibitor is a compound complex of
sodium hexametaphosphate and water glass. According to the method, diethyl ((2-hydroxyethoxy) methyl) phosphonic acid ester (DEHEMP) serves as an activating agent, a
mixed solution prepared from N, N-diethyldithiocarbamate, N-phenylacetylhydroxamic acid (NPHA) and
sodium carbonate according to a certain proportion serves as a collecting agent, and a compound complex of
sodium hexametaphosphate and water glass serves as an inhibitor. The effect of improving the flotation
process efficiency is achieved, waste of
metal resources can be effectively avoided, the production cost is reduced, and the production benefit is improved.
