Description

Low-grade gold ore sorting and tailing-free utilization process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of ore separation, in particular to a low-grade gold ore separation and non-tailing utilization process, which can also be used for separation of other low-grade metal ores.
Background
With the development of the society, particularly the progress of science and technology, the rapid development of social productivity is greatly promoted, and particularly, the method makes outstanding contribution to the improvement of the tunneling excavation efficiency of the traditional resource excavation industry. However, as mining and excavation of many ores with renewable costs, how to perform fine separation and make full use of the ore has been increasingly demanded for further processing of ores.
In the excavation (stripping) operation of a gold mine, a large amount of low-grade ore is produced, and this part of ore is mainly surrounded rocks and included rocks, and the gold grade is 0.2 to 0.4g/t, and this part of ore is generally called waste rock. The waste rock yield is typically around 10% of the ore yield. At present, the waste rocks are different according to regional policies, part of the waste rocks need to be treated on site according to policy requirements, part of the waste rocks are sold to building material processing factories as stone materials at low price, and part of the waste rocks are stockpiled in mine refuse dumps. The method of in-situ remediation is usually to cover the surface of the waste rock heap with soil and grow green plants. However, the particle size of the waste rock is large, usually 200-600 mm, the gaps between the waste rock are large, the soil covered on the surface is washed by rainwater and then runs off, the treatment effect is poor, and the risk of inducing debris flow still exists. The waste rock is used as stone material, and after the stone material is broken and graded, the products of stone, coarse sand and the like can be obtained, and because the waste rock contains a certain quantity of metal sulfide, the contents of sulfur and heavy metal in the stone material products are higher.
Aiming at the problem that the traditional process of low-grade gold ore cannot be economically recovered, a great deal of research is carried out by mine units, and the existing research achievements mainly focus on two aspects:
on one hand, fine fraction products generated in the waste rock crushing process are recycled. For example, in the patent, a low-grade gold ore recovery process is characterized in that a raw ore is coarsely broken and then sequentially subjected to primary screening, secondary screening and tertiary screening, the grain size of the tertiary screening is less than or equal to 1.5mm, the grain size is subjected to size mixing and then pumped into a first spiral chute for gravity separation to obtain coarse concentrate, middlings and tailings, the coarse concentrate enters a second spiral chute for gravity separation to obtain concentrate, middlings and tailings, the concentrate enters a ball mill for ball milling and then enters a first flotation machine for flotation to obtain tailings and gold concentrate, the tailings after flotation enter a magnetic separator, the gold concentrate sequentially enters a second thickener and a first ceramic filter for concentration and dehydration to obtain dry gold concentrate, the tailings after magnetic separation obtain tailings and iron concentrate, the tailings after magnetic separation enter a shaking table to obtain tailings, sulfur concentrate and coarse tungsten concentrate, the coarse tungsten concentrate enters a second flotation machine for flotation to obtain tungsten concentrate and tailings after flotation by the shaking table and the tailings after flotation by the second ceramic filter for concentration and dehydration to obtain dry stone powder. The technology only recovers the fine fraction ore generated in the crushing process, and the fine fraction ore has higher grade but low yield, so that the overall recovery rate is low; the coarse fraction ore is classified to obtain building material products, and the metal minerals of the coarse fraction ore are not comprehensively recovered, so that the sulfur and heavy metal contents in the stone products are higher, and the product quality is influenced. In addition, the patent flow is too complex and is suitable for large-scale factories for waste rock centralized treatment, but many local policies require waste rock to be treated on site, and the patent application technology is not suitable for the situation.
On the other hand, the grade of the ore is measured by an X-ray separator, and the high-grade ore is recovered. For example, in the patent publication of invention named as "gold ore and Jin Feidan gold-rich mineral separation method", the waste ore is coarsely crushed to the maximum particle size below 120mm to obtain coarse crushed stone; screening the coarse crushed stones to obtain first gold-rich ores with the size fraction below 30mm and ores to be sorted with the size fraction larger than 30 mm; the ore to be sorted enters an X-ray sorting machine, qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements in the ore to be sorted is realized according to the wavelength and the intensity of the X-ray, and barren rocks and second gold-rich ore are obtained after separation; finely crushing the first gold-rich ore and the second gold-rich ore until the particle size is less than 12mm, and grinding and grading the obtained finely crushed products; and (4) carrying out flotation on the obtained ground ore classification product to recover gold, and carrying out flotation to obtain a gold concentrate product and tailings. The separation method has the main problems that the separation effect of the X-ray separator is poor, the separation method recovers ores with element quantitative analysis results higher than a set value, a separation system is not intelligent enough, the grade difference between the ores with measured values higher than the set value and the ores with measured values lower than the set value is not large, the enrichment ratio of gold-rich ores is low, and the separation efficiency is low; in addition, the crushing and grading process of the patent is not reasonable enough, the whole process investment is large, the economic benefit is poor, and the production practice is difficult.
Therefore, it is an urgent problem to improve and optimize the low-grade gold ore separation process.

the intelligent light sorting and crushing grading combined system comprises a low-grade gold ore sorting system of an intelligent light sorting machine for identifying the gold ore content of the ore and the combined arrangement of the intelligent light sorting machine, a crushing machine and a screening machine;
the low-grade gold ore sorting system of the intelligent optical separator comprises the following steps:
step 1), manually selecting gold ore-containing ores with higher grade and gold ore-free ores with lower grade from ores according to the process mineralogy characteristics of the ores;
step 2), taking a picture of the two ores obtained in the step 1) by using an intelligent light separator; the first type of the intelligent optical separator takes visible light as a light source, and aims at ores with obvious surface characteristics, namely ores with obvious surface characteristics are exposed, visible light is adopted for photographing at the moment, the ores with gold show special metal luster under the visible light, and the more the ores with gold on the surface are exposed, the higher the gold content of the ores is; the second type is an intelligent optical separator taking x-rays as a light source, when ores are large or the exposure condition of gold-loaded minerals on the surface is poor, x-rays are adopted for transmission scanning to take a picture, and the capability of the x-rays for penetrating the gold-loaded minerals is weaker than that of the x-rays for penetrating the gangue minerals, so that the content of the gold ores can be judged according to imaging characteristics;
step 3), carrying out artificial intelligence deep learning on the shot pictures in the step 2), and training a model for identifying the content of the ore and the gold ore;
step 4), loading the model in the step 4) into an intelligent light separator, actually separating ores, and adjusting according to a separation effect;
and 5) independently selecting ore types which are difficult to identify, photographing and modeling so as to improve the identification accuracy of the system.
The combined arrangement of the crushing machine and the screening machine comprises three modes, namely open circuit arrangement, a closed circuit flow of recrushing of the optically selected tailings and a closed circuit flow of recrushing of the optically selected concentrate;
as shown in fig. 2, the open-circuit arrangement is that the raw ore enters a screening operation after being crushed, the undersize is stone mud, and the oversize enters a light separation operation to obtain light separation concentrate and light separation tailings; when the content of the fine ore fraction is small, the screening operation can be omitted;
as shown in fig. 3, the closed process of re-crushing the tailings by optical separation comprises: after feeding and light separation, crushing and screening the light separation tailings, and returning the products on the screen to a light separator to form a closed circuit so as to improve the light separation recovery rate; when the fine fraction content of the raw ore is higher, a grading operation needs to be set first. The closed process of crushing the tailings after the light separation can improve the recovery rate of the system.
The light dressing tailings re-crushing closed flow is suitable for the waste disposal of raw ore or coarse crushed raw ore in advance, and at the moment, the mineral grade is larger, the content of fine fraction is less, and the separation is not interfered. The tailings are used as building stone raw materials, and stone products of various grain grades are obtained after multi-section screening; and taking the concentrate as rough concentrate to enter the next separation process.
The light separation tailings are crushed into coarse or medium size pieces in a closed-circuit crushing process, and the screening size is 30-50mm, and can be adjusted according to the granularity of building material products.
The indexes that can be adjusted are as follows: 1. fitting degree of the light selection model; 2. the particle size distribution of the crushed product is determined by the type of the crusher and the width of the ore discharge port; 3. size of sieve
The higher the degree of fitting of the light selection model is set, the smaller the light selection operation yield is, and the larger the cyclic load rate is; the finer the size fraction of the crushed product is, the smaller the cyclic load rate is under the condition that other equipment is not changed; the finer the screening grade is, the larger the cyclic load rate is under the condition that other equipment is not changed; if the grade of the fine-grained sample in the tailings is high, the tailings can be screened, and the fine-grained sample can be recovered.
As shown in fig. 4, the closed circuit flow of the re-crushing of the optically selected concentrate includes three ore feeding modes:
i, feeding 1: after ore feeding, crushing and grading, the coarse fraction product enters optical separation, the optical separation concentrate returns to a crushing system, and the optical separation tailings are used as final tailings; the cyclic load rate refers to the ratio of the material quantity returned to the crusher to the original ore quantity, the ore feeding 1 has wider application condition and low requirement on the granularity of the ore feeding material;
II, feeding 2: after feeding and grading, directly taking fine materials as a concentrate product, feeding a coarse fraction product into optical separation, crushing the optical separation concentrate, returning the crushed optical separation concentrate to the grading operation, taking the optical separation tailings as final tailings, and applying a feeding II to the condition of fine feeding granularity;
III feeding 3: feeding ore, performing light concentration operation, taking the light concentration tailings as final tailings, feeding the light concentration concentrate into a crushing system, performing grading operation on crushed products, taking fine-grained products as final concentrate, returning coarse-grained products to the light concentration operation, and feeding ore III is suitable for the conditions that the feeding ore is coarse in grain size and low in fine-grained content.
The three ore feeding modes can be combined and applied; the closed process of crushing the concentrate by light separation can improve the concentrate grade of the system.
The light concentration concentrate re-crushing closed flow is suitable for the final crushing product working section, and the grading granularity is fine; the gold ore is enriched in fine fraction due to brittleness; and the light concentration concentrate is crushed and graded again, so that gold ore is enriched in fine fraction. The light concentration concentrate is crushed into fine powder in a closed circuit flow, the screening size is 3-15mm, and the adjustment is carried out according to the distribution rate of metal minerals in each size fraction.
The indexes that can be adjusted are as follows: 1. feeding a mine site; 2. fitting degree of the light selection model; 3. the particle size distribution of the crushed product is determined by the type of the crusher and the width of the ore discharge port; 4. and (4) screening the materials according to the size.
Different ore feeding points have different requirements on ore feeding, and the stable number and mass distribution of closed cycle is also different; the higher the fitting degree setting of the light selection model is, the lower the light selection operation yield is and the lower the cyclic load rate is; the finer the size fraction of the crushed product is, the smaller the cyclic load rate is under the condition that other equipment is not changed; the finer the screening grade is, the larger the cyclic load rate is under the condition that other equipment is not changed; the arrangement modes of the three intelligent light separators, the crushing equipment and the screening equipment can be flexibly applied according to the characteristics and the requirements.

As can be seen from Table 7, after the scavenging operation, middling products with the grade of 0.31g/t are separated from the raw tailings with the gold grade of 0.080 g/t. The scavenging operation is proved to be effective, but the grade of the middling product is low, and whether scavenging is needed or not needs to be judged through economic accounting.
The following concentration test is performed, and the sweep test is performed by taking high-grade gold waste rock as a sample, and the test results are shown in table 8.

As can be seen from Table 8, the concentration operation increased the raw concentrate product from 2.123g/t to 2.555g/t, yielding a middling product of grade 0.981 g/t. The concentration operation is proved to have certain effect, but the middling product has higher grade, and whether the concentration is needed or not needs to be judged through economic accounting.
Small knot
The following conclusions were obtained by the experiment:
1. the intelligent sorting machine has good sorting effect on the gold waste rocks;
2. the intelligent sorting machine has certain effect on the fine sweeping operation, but the necessity of the fine sweeping operation needs to be judged through economic accounting;

The grade of gold ore in a certain area is low, only 0.61g/t, and the ore dressing cost is high. The crushing system is firstly subjected to the combined process transformation of intelligent light separation, crushing and grading, the ore-selecting grade of the gold ore is improved, the grinding mill is reduced, and the ore-dressing cost is reduced.
The original crushing flow chart is shown in figure 11.
Raw ore enters a coarse sieve with the size of 20 x 40mm after passing through a coarse crushing closed chute which is screened in advance, products on the coarse sieve enter medium crushing, products below the sieve pass through a fine sieve with the size of 10 x 20mm, the products below the fine sieve are crushed products, products on the fine sieve and the medium crushing products enter fine crushing together, and the products after the fine crushing return to the coarse sieve for screening.
The flow chart of the modified intelligent light sorting-crushing grading combined process is shown in figure 12.

Example 5
Comparison of light-selective open circuit and light-selective closed circuit tests
An open-circuit and closed-circuit comparison test is carried out by adopting Jin Feidan in a certain area, and the granularity of waste rocks is less than 200mm. The open circuit process I is shown in figure 13, and the open circuit process I is two-stage optical selection; the closed-loop flow is shown in fig. 14, and the closed-loop flow comprises two sections of light selection; the open circuit process II is shown in figure 15, and the open circuit process II is three-stage optical selection.
The test results are shown in Table 10.
Figure 454413DEST_PATH_IMAGE017
As can be seen from table 10, the closed-circuit sorting effect is far better than the open-circuit sorting effect in the two-stage optical sorting; comparing two-section light separation closed-circuit light separation with three-section light separation open-circuit light separation, the concentrate grade of the two-section light separation closed-circuit light separation is slightly higher, and the concentrate recovery rate of the three-section light separation open-circuit light separation is slightly higher; the other advantage of the two-section light-selecting and closed-light-selecting process is that the size fraction of tailings is mainly 10 to 40mm, the tailings is the main size fraction of building material products, and the size fraction distribution is more advantageous when the tailings are sold as the building material products. In the course of the tests, it was also found that the closed-circuit optical selection has a disadvantage in that the processing capacity is lower than that of the open-circuit optical selection, so that in the actual sorting process the open-circuit and closed-circuit optical selections are combined according to different processing requirements.
Terms to be described:
the cyclic load rate refers to the ratio of the amount of material returned to the light separator to the amount of raw ore.
The crushing ratio refers to the ratio of the particle size of the ore before crushing to the particle size of the product after crushing.
The fitting degree of the optical sorting model refers to the fitting degree of the system for evaluating the ore imaging photo, and the fitting degree is generally set to be more than 60% during sorting.
The gold-bearing mineral refers to the mineral component mainly containing gold in the gold ore.
The invention relates to an overall process arrangement designed based on a tailing stage separation principle, and a development design of a low-grade gold ore sorting system of an intelligent optical separator developed based on the following three characteristics; the method is characterized in that: during the crushing process of the gold ore, the gold-loaded minerals are exposed to the surface of the ore, and the more obvious the gold-loaded minerals are exposed on the surface after crushing, the higher the gold content is; the ore is photographed under visible light, and the image characteristics of the photograph can be used as the basis for deep learning modeling; the second characteristic: the attenuation of the gold-loaded minerals is stronger than that of gangue minerals during X-ray transmission, so that under the X-ray transmission, the more the dark regions in the imaging picture accord with the distribution characteristics of gold ores, the higher the gold content of the gold-loaded minerals is; the ore is photographed under X-ray transmission, and the image characteristics of the photograph can be used as the basis for deep learning modeling. The characteristics are as follows: the main gold-carrying minerals in the gold ore, namely the sulfide ores, are easy to enrich in fine fractions in the crushing process. The principle of the combined arrangement of the light separator, the crushing machine and the screening machine is as follows: (1) sieving in advance before optical selection to separate out the fine part; (2) when the closed circuit is closed with a crusher, the crushing ratio of the closed circuit is smaller than the light-selecting particle size ratio, namely the value of the upper light-selecting particle size limit divided by the lower light-selecting particle size limit; (3) the tailings after the photodressing can be photodressed again to improve the total recovery rate, and the concentrates after the photodressing can be photodressed again to improve the concentrate grade, namely the effect of the intelligent optical dressing machine taking visible light as a light source is more obvious; (4) the circulation load after the closed loop is related to the screening size, the screening efficiency, the fitting degree of a light selection model and the particle size distribution of the crushed product. Finally, the whole process based on the principle of tailing stage separation is realized, the system load is reduced, the production cost is reduced, building material products of different types are produced, and the product requirements under different market environments are met; compared with the traditional light separator, the light separator loaded with the system has higher separation accuracy. The combined closed-circuit arrangement of the light separator, the crushing machine and the screening machine has higher grade and recovery rate of the separated concentrate compared with the traditional open-circuit arrangement, and simultaneously, one light separator can replace the functions of a plurality of traditional light separators, thus saving the equipment investment; and the crushing process adopted in the current plant selection is closer, and the crushing process can be organically combined with the crushing process for modification.
