低碱度铜硫矿浮选生产实践研究

    Research on flotation production practice of low alkalinity copper sulfide ore

    • 摘要: 安徽铜冠(庐江)矿业有限公司矿石为复杂含金铜硫矿石,含有铜、金和硫等多种有用金属元素,原设计铜硫矿浮选工艺使用石灰作为黄铁矿的抑制剂,在粗选和精选作业加入大量石灰,形成高碱度矿浆环境,实现铜硫分离,通过一年的生产实践证明,该工艺药剂消耗大,浮选指标差,且金回收率较低,综合生产成本高。针对此问题,通过对该铜硫矿石进行工艺矿物学研究,根据该矿石特点,以及金元素的赋存状态进行分析;通过小型试验、工业试验等实践探索,改变原本的工艺流程,采用低碱度铜硫混合浮选原则工艺流程,将粗选、扫选作业改为低碱度浮选,pH值维持在7~9,精选仍然保持高碱度实现铜硫分离。通过三年实践,实施局部低碱度浮选,取得了较好的经济效益和社会效益,铜回收率提高2%以上,金回收率提高9%以上,白银回收率提高了7%以上;同时,采用低碱度浮选也节省了石灰用量,减少了管道堵塞频次,稳定生产流程。

       

      Abstract: The ore of Anhui Tongguan Lujiang Mining Co., Ltd. is a complex gold-bearing copper sulfur ore, which contains various useful metal elements such as copper, gold and sulfur. The original design of the copper sulfur ore flotation process uses lime as a depressant for pyrite, and a large amount of lime is added in the roughing and cleaning operations to form a highly alkaline pulp environment to achieve copper sulfur separation. Through a year of production practice, it has been proven that the process has high reagent consumption, poor flotation indicators, and low gold recovery. The comprehensive production cost is high. To address this issue, researchers conducted a detailed process mineralogical study of the copper sulfur ore, analyzing the characteristics of the ore and the occurrence state of gold. Through practical exploration such as small-scale experiments and industrial experiments, the original process flow is changed to adopt the principle of low alkalinity copper sulfur mixed flotation process. The roughing and sweeping operations are changed to low alkalinity flotation, with the pH value maintains between 7-9, and the high alkalinity still maintains during the cleaning process to achieve copper sulfur separation. After three years of practice, local low alkalinity flotation has achieved good economic and social benefits. The copper recovery rate has increased by more than 2%, the gold recovery rate has increased by more than 9%, and the silver recovery rate has increased by more than 7%. At the same time, using low alkalinity flotation also saves lime consumption, reduces the frequency of pipe plugging, and stabilizes the production process.
