The invention discloses a mineral separation technique for fine-grain 
tungsten-
tin associated minerals. The mineral separation technique includes the following specific steps that (1) secondary slurrygenerated by 
quartz vein type 
tungsten-
tin associated minerals or 
tailings generated by floatation of sulphide ore of polymetallic ore are crushed; (2) enrichment via gravity concentration is carriedout, specifically, 
tailings are discarded via gravity concentration, and the 
gangue tailing discarding amount is 60%-85%; (3) 
silicone is removed through reverse floatation, specifically, regulatorsinclude a 
sodium carbonate solution and a 
starch solution, and collecting agents include one or more of an 
ether amine solution, a lauryl amine solution and an octadecylamine solution; and (4) 
tungsten-
tin minerals are separated through 
magnetic separation, specifically, concentrate obtained after 
magnetic separation is 
wolframite, and 
tailings obtained after 
magnetic separation are tinstone concentrate. For fine-grain tungsten-tin minerals, the technique that gravity-concentration tailing discarding is adopted for pre-selection, 
sulfur and 
silicon are removed through reverse floatation, and 
wolframite and tinstone are separated through magnetic separation is utilized, on the premise of guaranteeing the concentrate grade, the 
recovery rates for 
wolframite and tinstone are increased, and the mineral separation technique is mainly applied to comprehensive 
recovery of tungsten and tin in tungsten-tin associated minerals and nonferrous-
metal associated tungsten-tin minerals.
