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.
