The invention discloses a
beneficiation method for
tin-silver symbiotic polymetallic ore and application of the
beneficiation method, and relates to the technical field of mineral separation. Comprising the steps that after
tin-silver symbiotic polymetallic ore is ground, undersize minerals are obtained through a high-frequency screen, silver-
copper flotation is conducted on the undersize minerals, and silver-
copper concentrate and silver-
copper tailings are obtained; the silver-copper
tailings are subjected to lead-
zinc-
sulfur flotation, and lead concentrate and
zinc-
sulfur tailings are obtained; and the
zinc-
sulfur tailings are subjected to zinc-sulfur flotation, and zinc-sulfur concentrate and
tin-sulfur tailings are obtained. The concentration of ore pulp in the ore
grinding process is controlled, it is guaranteed that
cassiterite and
sulfide minerals are fully dissociated, then a first inhibitor is added in the lead-zinc-sulfur flotation process, the valuable
metal recovery efficiency can be enhanced by optimizing the flotation process and collaboratively innovating a
reagent formula according to the complex characteristics of tin-silver symbiotic polymetallic ore, and the
recovery rate of the tin-silver symbiotic polymetallic ore is increased. The contents of silver, copper and tin in the tailings are obviously reduced, and efficient utilization of resources and reduction of
solid wastes are realized.
