Flotation activating of marmatite and zincblende and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to ore dressing engineering and rare precious metal comprehensive utilization technique field, particularly a kind of efficient activator for marmatite and Sphalerite flotation and its production and use.
Background technology
China's zinc metal reserves account for 15% of world's gross reserves, occupy the second in the world, and simultaneously China is also a zinc big producing country, and zinc metal output reached 374.9 ten thousand tons in 2007, ranked first in the world, and export volume reaches 27.56 ten thousand tons.development along with national economy, increase to zinc metal demand, in the urgent need to the resource of complicated difficult choosing is developed and is utilized, it is more domestic that leaded, zinc, sulphur, iron or zinc, copper, tin, iron, the plumbous zinc ore mountain of sulphur and zinc-tin mine etc. be in various degree the marmatite that contains choosing in distress all, for example, the large factory in Guangxi, the plumbous zinc ore in river three, the yellow sand level ground in Hunan, Pan Jiachong, the plumbous zinc ore of HERBA ONYCHII, the plumbous zinc ore in the Hezhang in Guizhou, the plumbous zinc ore in tin iron mountain in Qinghai, the plumbous zinc ore in the XiLin in Heilungkiang, the Fangniugou Pyrite in Jilin, therefore ox is washed in a pan plumbous zinc ore, the plumbous zinc ore of thick mother-in-law's col in Guangdong, all Long Xinxikuang and the lead ore of Lancang etc. in Yunnan.The marmatite iron content in these mines is generally 8-12%, have up to 26%, therefore, adopt suitable marmatite ore-dressing technique, marmatite is developed and utilized significant.
Zincblende, marmatite and wurtzite are three kinds of common zinc sulfide minerals.Zincblende (ZnS) belongs to isometric system, and crystalline form is often tetrahedron; Natural cleiophane contains zinc 67.1%, 32.9% sulphur.Wurtzite is general similar to the physical property of zincblende, generally rare in practice.The zincblende of iron content more than 6% is called marmatite [(Zn
XFe
1-XS)], zinc blend lattice is often sneaked into isomorph by Tie Tong, and the quantity of infiltrating iron is generally 6~12% (Gao Shida 26%).
In actual process, marmatite than zincblende show not easily-activated, floatability is poor, to characteristics such as medium sensitivities, it is more difficult to separate with mineral such as magnetic iron ore, pyrite and mispickel.Simultaneously, compare with other sulfide mineral, the floatability of marmatite or zincblende is far smaller than other sulfide minerals, general not activated marmatite or the flotation of zincblende need to need the above xanthate of 4 carbon with hybrid collector or chain length, make the flotation of zincblende seem more difficult.Therefore, activation is the important step in the marmatite ore dressing.Main with the activator of copper sulphate as marmatite in producing at present, however copper sulphate has following defective as activator:
(1) select marmatite for difficulty, the activation of copper sulphate is unsatisfactory, does not reach good index.
(2) activity function of copper sulphate strengthens along with the enhancing of alkalescence, therefore, the activation of copper sulphate is generally to carry out under a high-alkali environment, thereby certainly will add a large amount of lime aborning, so just suppress the flotation of the relatively poor zincblende of floatability, marmatite and oxidized mineral such as chalcopyrite.
(3) rolling up of lime consumption not only increases beneficiation cost, increases workman's workload, and from ore dressing and comprehensive the recovery and the angle of utilizing, the lime of large consumption is also worthless.After adjusting the pH value and suppress other sulfide minerals with a large amount of lime in selecting the zinc process, during next step flotation must come with a large amount of sulfuric acid and the lime in ore pulp, to reduce the pH value, perhaps add a large amount of activator activation and other sulfide minerals of flotation, this has not only further increased beneficiation cost, and the calcium sulfate that lime and sulfuric acid reaction generate is easy to blocking pipe, at the gravitational separation equipment surface scale, seriously affects the continuity of mineral processing circuit and the rate of recovery of gravity treatment; In addition, sulfuric acid also can produce etching problem to pipeline and preparation equipment.
(4) copper sulphate and combination activator thereof in the activation marmatite, also can activate difficult floating magnetic iron ore, increase the iron content in zinc concentrate, to follow-up hydrometallurgy process, zinc and indium further separated with enrichment very unfavorable.In order to suppress magnetic iron ore, the kind of inhibitor may many and large usage quantity, and flow process is also more complicated.If the activator that adopts is under low alkali condition, do not activate magnetic iron ore or pyrite and only activate marmatite and zincblende, can simplify the deironing sulfur removal technology, save production cost, improve grade and the rate of recovery of zinc concentrate zinc, indium, silver etc., reduce the content of iron and sulphur in zinc concentrate, reduce the element such as iron in zinc concentrate to the adverse effect of follow-up metallurgical process; Simultaneously, can also improve significantly the rate of recovery of reselection operation.
As seen, there are a lot of defectives in the conventional activator of the at present domestic and international marmatite that adopts and inhibitor, and its activation and the efficient that suppresses and selectively not high cause the rate of recovery of zinc and zinc concentrate grade not high, and metal contains seriously mutually.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is: overcome the deficiency of existing activator copper sulphate, the dressing activator of the high marmatite of a kind of activation efficiency and zincblende is provided.This activator has the characteristics such as selective height, the rate of recovery are high, environmental friendliness.Because the pH value of needs is lower, the scope of application is wider.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: the dressing activator of making marmatite and zincblende with the complex of copper and ammonia is.Activator of the present invention can use under the low alkalinity environmental condition, according to the concrete condition of ore, is to use under 7~11 environment in the pH value, and is respond well.
