Abstract

A method for recycling wrapped complex copper oxide ores. A wrapped copper oxide ore which is difficult to recycle by floatation and has a low direct acid leaching rate is subjected to a combination of vulcanization, xanthate, fatty acid salt, and hydroximic acid to float free copper oxide, ferrous and biotite ores wrapping a copper ore in ores are recycled by magnetic separation, and a large amount of low-grade copper-containing tailings are separated. Copper resources in a rough concentrate containing wrapped copper are recycled by high-temperature pressurizing, stirring, leaching and intensifying, ore pulp is leached out at high temperature and is mixed with low-grade copper-containing tailings to continue leaching by waste heat and waste acid to obtain the copper ore in tailings, the wrapped copper oxide ores which cannot be recycled by flotation directly and acid leaching directly are efficiently recycled. The technical difficulties of processing and using of wrapped complex copper oxide ore resources are economically and effectively resolved.

Description

The present invention relates to a method for recycling wrapped complex copper oxide ores, and belongs to technical field of mineral beneficiation and metallurgy.
Prior Art Discussion
Copper oxide minerals mainly include malachite, chrysocolla, azurite, cuprite, tenorite, pseudo-malachite, and bound copper, etc., and mainly coexist in association with gangue minerals including silicates, carbonates, and iron oxides, etc. Independent copper oxide ores, such as malachite, chrysocolla, azurite, cuprite, and tenorite, etc., may be recycled by sulfurization and xanthate flotation method; high-binding-ratio copper oxide ores coexisting densely with silicate minerals may be recycled by means of sulfuric acid leaching, solid-liquid separation, extraction, and electro-deposition; low-binding-ratio copper oxide ores coexisting densely with carbonate minerals may be recycled by means of ammonia leaching, solid-liquid separation, extraction, and electro-deposition. However, for copper oxide ores that mainly consist of pseudomalachite, partially densely coexist with limonite, hematite and biotite and are partially wrapped by iron and silicate minerals, there is no efficient recycling method yet up to now. Consequently, those copper oxide ore resources have not been recycled effectively at present.
It is difficult to recycle such copper oxide minerals with the conventional sulfurization - xanthate flotation method, because it is difficult for the sulfurizing agent and xanthate collecting agent to contact with the surfaces of the copper oxide minerals owing to the fact that the copper oxide ores are wrapped by hematite, limonite or biotite partially, the monomers of copper oxide mineral cannot be separated and consequently the part of copper oxide mineral cannot be recycled by flotation. That part of copper oxide ores cannot be recycled effectively with the conventional ammonia leaching - extraction electro-deposition technique, because it is difficult for ammonia to destroy the structures of iron oxide ores and biotite and contact with the wrapped copper oxide mineral, and consequently that part of copper oxide ores cannot be leached out effectively. When the conventional acid leaching technique is used to treat such copper oxide ores, since the sulfuric acid can diffuse into the hematite, limonite and biotite and leach out the wrapped copper oxide mineral only if heating is applied through the pulp to promote lattice deformation of the hematite and biotite minerals, the leaching cost is high and no economic benefit can be attained if the pulp is heated up to 60°C or a higher temperature owing to the low grade and huge quantity of raw ores.
The Patent Application No. CN201010178875.2 has disclosed a beneficiation and metallurgy method for high-binding-ratio carbonate gangue-type oxygen-sulfur mixed copper ores, which is oriented to high-binding-ratio oxygen-sulfur mixed copper ores with high content of calcium-magnesium carbonate gangue minerals. In the method, firstly, the copper sulfide mineral and free copper oxide mineral are recycled by flotation, and the calcium-magnesium carbonate minerals in the flotation tailing are treated by reverse flotation with aliphatic acid, to obtain middlings that contain bound copper and has low content of calcium-magnesium carbonate minerals; and then, sulfuric acid is added to the middling and the mixture is agitated to leach out the bound copper, and then a copper product is obtained through a metallurgical method from the copper-containing solution after solid-liquid separation. This method also cannot be used to treat such wrapped copper oxide ores, because a good effect cannot be achieved if sulfurization - xanthate flotation is used owing to the fact that there is little free copper oxide mineral in the wrapped copper oxide ores and a part of the iron-bearing mineral may enter into the carbonate mineral and result in loss of the copper mineral if calciummagnesium reversed flotation is used.
The Patent Application No. CN201210201306.4 has disclosed a macromolecular bridging flotation method for bound opper impregnated bodies, which is oriented to bound copper impregnated bodies that cannot be recycled by conventional flotation, and employs macromolecular bridging agent, bridging copper ions, and xanthate bringing collecting agent, wherein, polyatomic adsorption happens on the surfaces of the bound copper impregnated bodies by means of ions of the macromolecular bridging agent, the copper ions are reabsorbed on the bridging agent that is absorbed to the surface, the collecting agent of xanthate negative ions are absorbed on the bridging copper ions, so that the surfaces of the bound copper impregnated bodies become hydrophobic and thereby flotation is realized. This method also cannot be effectively used to recycle such wrapped copper oxide ores, because the molecules of the macromolecular bridging agent cannot interact with the copper oxide ores wrapped by gangue minerals such as hematite, limonite, and biotite, etc., and consequently it is difficult to recycle the copper oxide mineral by means of bridging flotation.
For some refractory minerals, a good effect is attained by means of heating flotation. For example, Xianyang Qiu, et al. studied heating sulfurization and flotation dynamics of smithsonite, and have concluded that the surface properties of smithsonite can be modified directly through a heating sulfurization process and zinc sulfide surface is formed on partial surface of smithsonite and is beneficial for adsorption of an amine collecting agent to the surface of smithsonite. Heating can accelerate sulfurization and flotation of smithsonite, shorten flotation time, reduce reagent usage, and improve floatability and recycling ratio [Xianyang Qiu, et al., “Study of Heating Surface Sulfurized Flotation Dynamics of Smithsonite, Nonferrous Metals (Mineral Separation Section), 2007(1): 24-26]. Jianguang Guo, et al. renovated the heating flotation process of tungsten ores in Shizhuyuan, Hunan. It is proven that after the new heating flotation method is applied, the flow structure becomes more reasonable, the operation of the process becomes simpler, and the reagent removal and desulfurization procedures are canceled. With the new method, power consumption can be saved greatly every year, the metal loss during reagent removal is eliminated thoroughly, and the quality and recycling ratio of scheelite concentrate are improved [Jianguang Guo, et al., Practice of Renovation of Heating Flotation Process of Tungsten Ores in Shizhuyuan, Nonferrous Metals (Mineral Separation Section), 2002(6), 13-14],
Ore slime dispersion and control is helpful for performing flotation and improving flotation effect. Congjie Zhu studied the influence of ore slime on the behaviors of flotation of zinc oxide mineral. Ore slime has an influence on the up-floating of smithsonite by means of adsorption of the flotation reagent, coverage on the surface of smithsonite, and slight dissolution, and ore slime with a size of smaller than 5 pm has the highest influence. Besides, he has concluded that the influence of ore slime may be reduced by adding sodium hexametaphosphate and water glass in a small quantity and utilizing ultrasonic treatment [Congjie Zhu, ''Study on the Effect of Slimes on Flotation of Zinc Oxide Mineral, Comprehensive Utilization of Mineral Products, 2005(2):
7-11]. Qicheng Feng, et al. carried out flotation tests for argillaceous refractory copper oxide ores in Xinjiang, and has concluded: by adding an efficient combined ore slime inhibitor CHO+A22, the up-floating of ore slime in the flotation process is effectively inhibited, and the problem of frothy and highly-viscous pulp in the flotation process is solved. As a result, the entire flotation process is carried out smoothly, and finally indexes of 18.18% copper grade and 75.04% copper recycling ratio are achieved [Qicheng Feng, et al., Comprehensive Utilization of Mineral Products, 2011(6): 21-24, 49],
However, the wrapped copper oxide ores involved in the present invention are very refractory, and a satisfactory effect cannot be attained merely by heating or ore slime dispersion and inhibition.
The object of the present invention is to provide a method for recycling wrapped complex copper oxide ores, in which, for wrapped complex copper oxide ores that are difficult to be recycled by flotation and can be leached only at a poor leaching ratio by direct acid leaching, the free copper oxide mineral in the wrapped complex copper oxide ores is recycled by sulfurization and combined flotation with xanthate and aliphatic acid, and the copper-containing iron minerals and biotite mineral are recycled by magnetic separation, while low-grade copper-containing tailing is obtained at the same time; the copper mineral resource in the wrapped copper-containing rough concentrate is recycled by pressurized leaching at a high temperature; the copper in the low-grade copper-containing tailing is further leached out and recycled by means of the residual heat and the residual acid in the procedure of high-temperature pressurized leaching of pulp; thus, the wrapped complex copper oxide ores that cannot be recycled by direct flotation and direct acid leaching are recycled efficiently.

(2) A part of weakly magnetic iron minerals and biotite that wrap the copper can be recycled by strong magnetic separation;
(3) A large quantity of low-grade copper-containing tailing can be separated by means of flotation and magnetic separation in combination, so that the quantity of ores entering into the high-temperature pressurized acid leaching process is reduced, and sulfuric acid consumption and heating cost are reduced;
(4) The high-temperature pressurized leach pulp is mixed with the low-grade coppercontaining tailing and the mixture is further leached, and the residual heat and residual acid from the high-temperature pressurized leaching are fully utilized to further recycle the copper resource lost in the tailing, and thereby the recycling ratio of copper is improved.
