    Research on the process mineralogy of a high oxidation rate copper-cobalt ore located in Congo(Kinshasa)-Zambia Copper Belt

    • 摘要: 为给刚果(金)-赞比亚铜矿带高氧化率铜钴矿石的开发利用工艺研究提供工艺矿物学参数,采用化学分析、扫描电镜等综合手段对刚果(金)SICOMINES铜钴矿中铜钴载体矿物种类、相对含量和嵌布特征进行了详细的工艺矿物学研究。研究结果表明,矿石中主要的有价元素铜品位、钴品位分别为2.470%和0.237%,其中,铜主要赋存在孔雀石、蓝磷铜矿、硅孔雀石中;钴以类质同象替代或独立矿物的形式赋存在水钴矿和硫铜钴矿中。矿石中脉石矿物主要为石英、水白云母、绿泥石等。孔雀石的嵌布粒度均匀,主要粒度范围在0.01~0.32 mm;蓝磷铜矿嵌布粒度分布均匀,主要粒度范围在0.04~0.32 mm;辉铜矿嵌布特征与蓝磷铜矿类似,主要粒度范围在0.02~0.32 mm;含铜钴硬锰矿分布范围较广,主要粒度范围在0.01~0.32 mm。原矿中含铜矿物种类多,含杂较高,有用矿物多呈不规则粒状分布,且铜钴矿物连生关系复杂。矿石中铜元素主要以氧化铜的形式存在,氧化铜精矿的理论回收率在89%左右;硫铜钴矿中钴的理论回收率为12%左右,氧化钴精矿理论回收率在79%左右。基于此类矿石的工艺矿物学研究结果,为刚果(金)同类型铜钴资源的开发利用提供了借鉴和参考。

       

      Abstract: The process mineralogy of a copper-cobalt mine in Congo(Kinshasa) is studied by comprehensive methods of chemical analysis and scanning electron microscopy, such as the types, relative contents and distribution characteristics of copper-cobalt carrier minerals. The results show that the grades of copper and cobalt, the main valuable elements in the ore, are 2.470% and 0.237% respectively. Cu mainly occurs with malachite, cornetite, and chrysocolla; Co occurs in heterogenite and carrollite as an isomorphic substitute or an independent mineral. Gangue minerals in the ore are mainly quartz, sericite chlorite and so on. Dissemination granularity of malachite is well-distributed, mainly ranging from 0.01 mm to 0.32 mm; dissemination granularity of cornetite is uniformly-distributed, mainly ranging from 0.04 mm to 0.32 mm; dissemination granularity of chalcocite is similar to that of cornetite, mainly ranging from 0.02 mm to 0.32 mm; dissemination granularity of copper-cobalt psilomelane is extensive, mainly ranging from 0.01 mm to 0.32 mm. The copper and cobalt minerals in the raw ore are mostly distributed in irregular granular form, and complex intergrowth relationship exists in the minerals. The Cu in the ore mainly exists in the form of copper oxide, and the theoretical recovery rate of copper oxide concentrate is about 89%; the theoretical recovery rate of cobalt in carrollite is about 12%, and the theoretical recovery rate of cobalt oxide concentrate is about 79%. Based on the process mineralogy research results, it provides reference for the development and utilization of similar types of copper and cobalt resources.
