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.
