The invention discloses a
beneficiation process for
copper-
nickel ore, and relates to the technical field of
beneficiation, and the
beneficiation process comprises the following steps: S1, crushing and screening the
copper-
nickel ore to obtain raw ore; s2,
lime is added into the raw ore for ore
grinding; s3,
copper flotation is conducted, specifically,
sodium hexametaphosphate, water glass, Z-200 and 2 # oil are added into the ground raw ore, copper roughing is conducted, and rough copper concentrate 1 and copper
tailings 1 are obtained; carrying out two-stage concentration on the crude copper concentrate 1 to obtain copper concentrate; performing copper
scavenging on the copper
tailings 1 to obtain copper
tailings 2; s4,
nickel flotation is conducted, specifically,
sodium hexametaphosphate, water glass,
copper sulfate, butyl
xanthate and 2 # oil are added into the copper tailings 2, nickel roughing is conducted, and nickel rough concentrate 1 and nickel tailings 1 are obtained; and the nickel rough concentrate 1 is subjected to two-stage concentration, the nickel tailings 1 are subjected to three-stage
scavenging, and nickel concentrate and nickel tailings are obtained. According to the method, copper and nickel in the copper-nickel ore are recovered by adopting the technological process of primary roughing, primary
scavenging and secondary refining for preferential copper flotation and primary roughing,
tertiary scavenging and secondary refining for nickel flotation, and a proper adding agent is selected, so that the
recovery rates of the copper and the nickel are relatively high.
