The invention discloses a method for comprehensively recovering
lithium beryllium resources in
spodumene tailings, and belongs to the technical field of mineral separation. The method comprises the steps that after
spodumene tailings are subjected to size mixing, amine and
fatty acid serve as a combined collecting agent, flotation I is conducted, and
mica concentrate and
tailings I are obtained; after size mixing is conducted on the tailings I,
sodium sulfide and
phosphate serve as a combined inhibitor, a
metal-hydroximic acid organic complex and
fatty acid serve as a combined collecting agent, flotation II is conducted, and
lithium beryllium bulk concentrate and tailings II are obtained; and after size mixing is conducted on the
lithium beryllium bulk concentrate, flotation III is conducted with
phosphate and EDTA as a combined inhibitor and
fatty acid as a collecting agent, and beryllium concentrate and lithium-containing tailings are obtained. By means of the method, the beryllium concentrate with the BeO grade being 4.448% and the
recovery rate being 64% can be obtained, meanwhile, the lithium concentrate with the Li2O grade being 4.8% and the
recovery rate being 57.6% can be produced, deep comprehensive
recovery of the lithium beryllium resources in the
spodumene tailings is effectively achieved, and the economic benefit capacity is large.
