Composite reagent system and collecting method for chalcopyrite and sphalerite

The invention provides a composite reagent system and a chalcopyrite and sphalerite collecting method, and belongs to the technical field of mineral processing. The composite reagent system comprises a histidine derived functional group collecting agent and a black agent, and the histidine derived functional group collecting agent (containing a total sulfur ester group, a sulfydryl functional group and a side chain imidazole ring) serves as a core and is compounded with the black agent according to a specific proportion to form a target combination-synergistic interaction flotation mechanism. The histidine derivative collecting agent derives high-activity functional groups under the alkaline condition, and after sulfydryl is dissociated, stable chemical bonds are formed by the dissociated sulfydryl and metal ions on the surfaces of the chalcopyrite and the zinc sulfide. The black powder serves as an auxiliary collecting agent, and the collecting capacity of fine-grain or low-activity sulfide minerals is enhanced through chemical adsorption of dithiophosphate radicals and metal ions on the surfaces of the chalcopyrite and the sphalerite. After the two components are compounded, the selective enrichment efficiency of copper-zinc minerals in the flotation process is remarkably improved.

A system for efficiently recovering scheelite and fluorite from polymetallic mud ore

The present invention discloses a system for efficiently recovering scheelite and fluorite from polymetallic mud ore, comprising a crushing box, a first magnetic separation tank, a second magnetic separation tank, a first mixing tank, a first flotation machine, a second mixing tank, a second flotation machine, and a centrifugal unit, to obtain scheelite concentrate and fluorite concentrate. By adopting the method of first magnetic separation and then flotation, the corrosion of the acidity of the ore pulp on the magnetic separation equipment is reduced. At the same time, the ore pulp is acidic by pickling with oxalic acid. Oxalic acid, as an organic acid, has strong chelating ability and reducing properties, and can effectively react with oxides and pollutants on the surface of the mineral to remove them from the mineral surface. At the same time, oxalic acid can also react with sulfide minerals, changing the properties of their surface, making them easier to be captured and recovered during the flotation process. Under acidic conditions, oxalic acid can more effectively react with metal ions on the surface of fluorite to form stable complexes. The hydrophobicity of fluorite particles is enhanced, so that they are captured by the flotation agent and float to the surface of the ore pulp, thereby enhancing the flotation of fluorite and reducing interference with the flotation of scheelite.

SOLID-LIQUID-SOLID HYDROMETALLURGICAL METHOD FOR THE SOLUBILIZATION OF METALS FROM COPPER SULFIDE ORE AND / OR CONCENTRATES

The present invention relates to a Solid-Liquid-Solid (SLS) hydrometallurgical method in the presence of hydrated and / or non-hydrated salts under supersaturation conditions. This method enhances the chemical and physical reactions on the ore or concentrates, thereby causing crystallization, recrystallization, and release of copper through non-stoichiometric decomposition of the sulfide, followed by precipitation with chloride. The invention comprises three stages: a) Wetting, b) Drying and Supersaturation, and c) Washing and Re-wetting. These stages occur at temperatures of 20 to 40°C, regardless of the redox potential, with minimal water and acid consumption and without the need for oxygen addition. The method reduces acid and water consumption because the sulfide transformation can be achieved using only hydrated salts and / or minimal acid and water.Furthermore, the present invention allows for a reduction in water usage during the agglomeration and / or agglomeration-curing stage. This is because, when the hydrated salt is mixed with the mineral, the water molecules in the hydrated salt moisten the mineral, reducing the volume of water that must be added during the wetting and agglomeration and / or curing stages. The method of the present invention can also be applied to sulfide base metals such as nickel, zinc, cobalt, lead, and molybdenum, among others, regardless of common impurities in sulfide minerals, such as the presence of arsenic.

The application provides a method for leaching nickel and copper in a high-magnesium low-grade copper-nickel sulfide ore by low-acid-consuming microorganisms, which comprises the following steps: first, setting a magnesium ion concentration gradient microbial domestication system under the condition of chalcopyrite as an energy substrate in a basic salt medium, obtaining a microorganism with high-efficiency iron-sulfur-oxidation function in a high-concentration Mg 2+ stress conditions; then, setting a pH gradient adaptation domestication system to further improve the alkali resistance of the acidophilic leaching bacteria. The domesticated leaching bacteria can oxidize chalcopyrite, nickel pyrite, pyrite and other sulfide minerals in the high-magnesium copper-nickel sulfide ore under a higher pH condition to produce Fe 3+ and H2SO4, which can promote the dissolution of gangue minerals such as chlorite, serpentine and phlogopite and the high-efficiency release of valuable metals such as nickel and copper while reducing the pH of the leaching system. The method has the advantages of simple process, high efficiency, low equipment requirement and no need for additional acid, and can effectively avoid the high cost and environmental pollution problems caused by traditional chemical and physical methods.

Method for extracting lead from waste lead plaster by taking sulfide mineral as reducing agent

The invention discloses a method for extracting lead from waste lead plaster by taking sulfide minerals as a reducing agent, and belongs to the field of hydrometallurgy. The method comprises the following steps: mixing, heating and stirring the waste lead plaster, sulfide minerals, ferric salt and a sulfuric acid solution, reducing and converting a lead-containing phase in the waste lead plaster into insoluble lead sulfate to obtain reducing slag, generating ferrous ions from the sulfide minerals under the action of a ferric salt catalyst, and reducing and converting lead dioxide in the waste lead plaster into lead sulfate; the reducing slag and an acetate solution are mixed, heated and stirred, lead sulfate is desulfurized and leached into soluble lead acetate, and a lead-containing leaching solution is obtained. Aiming at the waste lead plaster in the waste lead-acid storage battery, the low-cost sulfide mineral is used as a reducing agent, so that the process cost is reduced. By means of the two-step process of reduction conversion and desulfurization leaching, the additional impurity separation procedure is avoided, the extraction efficiency of lead in the waste lead plaster is 99% or above, the pure lead-containing leaching solution is obtained, and a new thought is provided for efficient recycling of the waste lead plaster.
