The application discloses a combined inhibitor for low-alkali flotation separation of silver-containing lead-
zinc sulfide ore and application thereof and belongs to the technical field of non-
ferrous metal dressing.
Sodium carbonate and water glass are added in the
grinding stage to control the dispersibility and
alkalinity of the ore
slurry;
butylamine black dithiophosphate and
aniline black dithiophosphate are used as combined collectors for
galena in the lead flotation stage, and the combined inhibitor simultaneously inhibits the
sphalerite and
pyrite, thereby reducing the
pollution of
zinc-
sulfur minerals to the lead concentrate;
copper sulfate is used to activate the
sphalerite in the
zinc flotation stage, and ethyl
xanthate is used as a collector to recover zinc minerals, and the
pyrite still maintains a stable inhibited state at this time, thereby guaranteeing the grade of the zinc concentrate. The application uses aminopimelic
amide as the
sphalerite and
pyrite inhibitor, and combines zinc
sulfate and
ferrous sulfate to build a composite inhibition
system, so that the lead, zinc and
sulfur minerals can be efficiently separated under a weak-alkaline ore
slurry environment, the associated silver and precious metals can be maximally recovered, the waste of the
precious metal resources is avoided, and the comprehensive
recovery of the lead, zinc and silver polymetallic minerals is realized.
