Description

Method for inhibiting flotation of pyrite in minerals
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of mineral flotation, and particularly relates to a selective inhibition method of pyrite.
Background
Copper is one of the most important metals in the world and is widely used in many industries such as manufacturing, construction and defense due to its good ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity. The world copper metal mainly comes from sulphide ores, and pyrite is the most common chalcopyrite gangue mineral, which seriously influences the high-efficiency utilization of chalcopyrite resources. Pyrite has certain natural floatability, and the conventional collecting agent has poor selectivity on the pyrite and the chalcopyrite, so that the pyrite can float out together with the chalcopyrite concentrate, and the grade and the recovery rate of the chalcopyrite concentrate are influenced. And in the subsequent smelting process, the remaining pyrite can release harmful gases of sulfur dioxide, thus causing pollution to the environment.
The separation of chalcopyrite and pyrite is currently mainly achieved by inhibiting pyrite, the most common method of inhibition being to add a large amount of lime to increase the pulp pH to alkalinity. However, the use of a large amount of lime causes severe scaling of the pipes and adversely affects the subsequent wastewater treatment. Therefore, the development of a novel, efficient and selective inhibitor for pyrite is a research focus in the field, and can provide technical support and guarantee for the utilization of the copper-containing sulphide ore. On the other hand, the chalcopyrite has excellent natural floatability, and the recovery rate of more than 85 percent can be realized only by adding a foaming agent. If a novel pyrite selective inhibitor-based copper-iron separation method without a collector is developed, the medicament cost and the treatment difficulty of subsequent beneficiation wastewater are greatly reduced.

Detailed Description
The effects of the present invention are illustrated by taking a single mineral of pyrite and chalcopyrite and a mixed sulfide mineral of chalcopyrite-pyrite (iron-copper mixed sulfide mineral) as an example. The following cases, except where specifically stated, the composition of the minerals employed are shown in table 1:
TABLE 1 original grade and origin of minerals
Figure BDA0003699464400000051
Example 1
In order to verify the separation effect of the inhibitor in the embodiment on chalcopyrite and chalcopyrite single minerals, high-purity chalcopyrite and chalcopyrite pure minerals (the grades are shown in table 1) in Hunan and Hunbei are adopted, the flow shown in the figure 1 is adopted, different sulfurized minerals are inhibited by the inhibitor in the embodiment, only a foaming agent is added for a flotation separation process, the parameters of the flotation process in each group of cases are the same, the type of the foaming agent is terpineol, and the concentration of the foaming agent is 1 × 10 -6 mol/L, differing only in the type of the floated sulphide mineral, thus comparing the flotation and sorting effect of the depressants of this case.
The flotation reagent of the invention: the inhibitor is:
Figure BDA0003699464400000052
(formula A; see Table 2 for amounts), the blowing agent is terpineol (concentration 1X 10) -6 mol/L)。
The process shown in FIG. 1 is adopted, and the specific operations are as follows: dry-grinding pure mineral ore (particle size of 3-0.5 mm) for 15min (particle size of 0.0740-0.0374mm after grinding, dry-grinding with horizontal ball mill, and grinding concentration of 35-40%), and weighing ground single mineral sample (chalcopyrite or chalcopyrite) for each groupPyrite) 2g is poured into a 40mL flotation tank, 35mL deionized water is added, then the flotation reagent is added, a proper amount of deionized water is supplemented, stirring is carried out for 3min, and terpineol (the concentration in ore pulp is controlled to be 1 x 10) -6 mol/L), stirring for 3min, beginning to scrape bubbles, scraping the bubbles for 3min, scraping the concentrate to a concentrate basin along with foams, leaving tailings in a flotation tank, filtering and drying the concentrate and the tailings, then respectively weighing, calculating the recovery rate, carrying out three parallel groups of experiments in each group, taking an average value and calculating errors (variances), wherein the errors are represented as error bars in the graph.
Figure 2 and table 2 show the recovery of chalcopyrite and pyrite pure minerals for example 1 at different agent dosages. (in the case, the depressor is used as the depressor, the terpineol is used as the foaming agent, other flotation reagents are not added, and the pH value of ore pulp is 7).
Table 2 flotation results of example 1
Figure BDA0003699464400000061
As can be seen from the results of fig. 2 and table 2, the flotation reagent of the present example has strong selective inhibition ability on pyrite and hardly inhibits chalcopyrite within the dosage range of the tested reagent, which means that the flotation inhibitor of the present example can realize efficient separation of chalcopyrite and pyrite without adding a collecting agent. As the inhibitor concentration increases from 0 to 2.5X 10 -4 mol/L, the inhibitor of the invention gradually enhances the inhibiting effect on the pyrite, obviously reduces the recovery rate of the pyrite to below 10 percent, and has no obvious influence on the recovery rate of the pyrite. When the amount of inhibitor is more than 2.5X 10 -4 After mol/L, the inhibiting effect on the pyrite tends to be stable, the recovery rate of the pyrite is slightly reduced, and the dosage of the inhibitor in the case is 5 multiplied by 10 -4 At mol/L, the recovery rate of the pyrite is reduced to 5 percent, and the recovery rate of the pyrite is still kept above 80 percent, namely 82 percent. In view of the prerequisites for recovering chalcopyrite as much as possible and for keeping the cost of the agent as low as possible, the amount of the agent to be used is preferably 2.5X 10 -4 mol/L, the separation effect of the chalcopyrite and the pyrite is excellent, the recovery rate of the chalcopyrite reaches 87 percent, and the pyrite is separatedThe recovery of (A) was only 7%, the difference being 80%. This shows that the inhibitor of the invention has further enhanced inhibiting ability on pyrite with the increase of the dosage of the medicament, and has very weak inhibiting effect on the pyrite, 2.5 multiplied by 10 -4 mol/L is selected as the preferred dose for subsequent experiments and testing.
Example 2
In this case, the performance of the inhibitor at different pH was studied, specifically:
the flotation reagent of the invention: the inhibitor is:
Figure BDA0003699464400000062
(formula A; dosage is 2.5X 10 -4 mol/L) and the foaming agent is terpineol (the concentration is 1 multiplied by 10) -6 mol/L)。
The pure ore of the yellow iron ore in Hunan province or the yellow copper ore in Hubei province is adopted (the grade is shown in the table 1). By adopting the flow shown in the figure 1, the flotation process parameters are the same, and the difference is only that different types of sulfide mineral single minerals and different pulp pH values are adopted, so that the flotation separation effect of the inhibitor on lead-iron sulfide minerals under different pH values is compared.
The process shown in FIG. 1 is adopted, and the specific operations are as follows: dry-grinding pure mineral ore (with particle size of 3-0.5 mm) for 15min (with particle size of 0.0740-0.0374mm after grinding), and dry-grinding with horizontal ball mill to obtain medium filling rate of 30-40%. Weighing 2g of ground single mineral sample in each group, pouring the single mineral sample into a 40mL flotation tank, adding 35mL deionized water, and adding a flotation reagent, wherein the use amounts of the collecting agents in the ore pulp are 2.5 multiplied by 10 -4 Adding deionized water at mol/L, stirring for 3min, adding pH regulator (sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide) to adjust the flotation system to specific pH, stirring for 3min, adding terpineol (concentration of 1 × 10) -6 mol/L) and stirring for 3min, starting foam scraping, wherein foam scraping is carried out for 3min, the concentrate is scraped to a concentrate basin along with foam, tailings are remained in a flotation tank, the concentrate and the tailings are respectively weighed after being filtered and dried, and the recovery rate is calculated.
The pH gradient set for the experiment was: 2,4,6,7,8, 10, 12.
Figure 3 shows the recovery of chalcopyrite or pyrite pure minerals at different pH values for example 2. (this case Zhi)The concentration of the preparation is 2.5 × 10 -4 mol/L, pH regulator sodium hydroxide solution and sulfuric acid solution).
Table 3 flotation results of example 2
Figure BDA0003699464400000071
It can be seen from example 3 that the inhibitor of the present invention has excellent effect of inhibiting pyrite at pH 2-12, and the recovery rate of pyrite after the inhibitor of the present invention has been inhibited is less than or equal to 10% in this pH range, while the recovery rate of pyrite of the inhibitor of the present invention has no significant effect of inhibiting pyrite, and the recovery rate of pyrite is greater than 80% at pH 2-10 and 75% at pH 12. The difference of the flotation recovery rates of the chalcopyrite and the pyrite is always 74-88% between pH values of 2-12, and the inhibitor and the separation method are proved to have excellent effects and can realize the high-efficiency and high-selectivity separation of the copper-iron sulfide minerals.
The flotation reagent can effectively separate chalcopyrite-pyrite mixed sulphide minerals in a wide acid-base range (the pH value is between 2 and 12). In consideration of the problem of subsequent beneficiation wastewater treatment, in order to meet the concept of green mines, neutral pulp condition (pH 7) is selected as the preferable pulp pH, under the condition, even if collecting agents are not added, the flotation agent can recover 87% of chalcopyrite, and simultaneously recover 7% of the pyrite, and the difference between the two is as high as 80%.
Example 3
To verify the separation effect of the flotation reagent in the case of iron-copper mixed sulfide minerals, pyrite or chalcopyrite pure minerals (grades as shown in table 1) in the south and north of a lake are adopted according to the proportion of 1: 1 proportion to obtain the iron-copper mixed sulfide mineral, and adopting the flow shown in figure 1.
The flotation reagent of the invention: the inhibitor is:
Figure BDA0003699464400000081
(formula A; see Table 2 for amounts), the blowing agent is terpineol (concentration 1X 10) -6 mol/L), and the pH value of the flotation pulp is 4/7/10.
The specific operation is as follows: dry grinding mixed ores (1: 1 of pyrite and chalcopyrite, 3-0.5 mm in particle size) for 15min (0.0740-0.0374 mm in particle size after grinding, dry grinding by adopting a horizontal ball mill, and 30-40% in medium filling rate), weighing 2g of mixed ore samples which are ground and uniformly mixed according to a proportion in each group, pouring the 2g of mixed ore samples into a 40mL flotation tank, adding 35mL of deionized water, adding the inhibitor of the invention, supplementing a proper amount of deionized water, wherein the concentration of the inhibitor is 2.5 multiplied by 10 -4 mol/L, pH of the ore pulp is 4/7/10; stirring for 3min, adding terpineol (concentration of 1 × 10) -6 mol/L), stirring for 3min, starting to scrape bubbles, scraping the bubbles for 3min, scraping the concentrate to a concentrate basin along with foams, leaving tailings in a flotation tank, filtering and drying the concentrate and the tailings, then weighing the concentrate and the tailings respectively, detecting the grade of the concentrate and calculating the recovery rate.
Fig. 4 and table 4 show the recovery of chalcopyrite and pyrite and the grades of Cu and Fe (in pyrite) in the mixed ore mineral of example 3. (in the present case, the concentration of the inhibitor is 2.5X 10 -4 mol/L, pH 4/7/10)
Table 4 flotation results of example 3
Figure BDA0003699464400000082
Figure BDA0003699464400000091
As can be seen from the results of FIG. 4 and Table 4, when the concentration of the inhibitor was 2.5X 10 -4 At mol/L, the flotation reagent has better separation effect on chalcopyrite and pyrite mixed minerals under the conditions of pH 7 and 10 than under the condition of pH 4. Under the conditions of pH 7 and pH 10, the inhibitor and the flotation reagent have far stronger inhibiting capability on pyrite (the recovery rate is lower than 25 percent and the grade is lower than 9 wt.%) of iron-copper mixed sulfide minerals than the inhibiting effect on chalcopyrite (the recovery rate is higher than 93 percent and the grade is higher than 19 wt.%). According to the flotation result, the flotation reagent of the invention obviously improves the flotation separation effect of the chalcopyrite and the pyrite,the recovery rate and grade of useful mineral chalcopyrite are also obviously improved, and the recovery rate and grade are respectively as high as 95.8% and 23 wt% at the pH value of 7.
Example 4
In order to verify the influence of the regulating substituent in the inhibitor structure on the separation effect of the iron-copper mixed sulfide minerals, the compounds of the formula 1 with different structures are selected as the inhibitors, and the pyrite or the chalcopyrite pure minerals (the grade is shown in table 1) in the south of the lake and the north of the lake are still adopted according to the proportion of 1: 1 proportion to obtain the iron-copper mixed sulfide mineral, and adopting the flow shown in figure 1.

The specific operation is as follows: dry grinding pure mineral ore (particle size of 3mm-0.5mm) for 15min (particle size of 0.0740-0.0374mm after grinding, dry grinding by adopting a horizontal ball mill, and medium filling rate of 30-40%), weighing 2g of mixed ore samples which are ground and uniformly mixed according to a proportion in each group, pouring the 2g of mixed ore samples into a 40mL flotation tank, adding 35mL of deionized water, adding the flotation reagent, supplementing a proper amount of deionized water, and adding the concentration of the inhibitor which is 2.5 multiplied by 10 -4 mol/L, pH of ore pulp is 7; stirring for 3min, adding terpineol (concentration of 1 × 10) -6 mol/L), stirring for 3min, starting foam scraping, performing foam scraping for 3min, scraping the concentrate to a concentrate basin along with foam, leaving tailings in a flotation tank, filtering and drying the concentrate and the tailings, then weighing the concentrate and the tailings respectively, detecting the grade of the concentrate and calculating the recovery rate.
The specific mixing proportion of the iron-copper sulfide mixed minerals in the series of examples is as follows:
this case of iron-copper sulfurized mixed minerals: 1, the weight ratio of the chalcopyrite to the pyrite is 1: 1, stirring for 5min at room temperature to fully mix the minerals for use, wherein the grades of the components of the iron-copper sulfide mixed mineral in the case are shown in table 1.
Table 5 shows the recovery of the chalcopyrite and pyrite flotation and the grades of Cu and Fe (in pyrite) in the mixed copper iron sulphide minerals of example 4. (in this case, each inhibitor concentration was 2.5X 10 4 mol/L, pH 7)
Table 5 flotation results of example 4
Figure BDA0003699464400000102
As can be seen from Table 5, when the collector concentration was 2.5X 10 -4 When the mol/L and the pH value are 7, the inhibitor and the compound shown in the formula 1 contained in the flotation reagent have the structures within the limit conditions (the inhibitors a-d) of the invention, and the inhibitor and the flotation reagent have good indexes in the separation of copper-iron sulfide minerals. When the compound structure is out of the range of the present invention (inhibitor e: R) 3 And R 4 Total carbon number of 9(>7) Wherein R is 4 Is a length containing aromatic ringsChain substituent), the product index of the chalcopyrite concentrate obtained by separating the iron sulfide minerals is obviously reduced.
As can be seen from the test results, R 3 And R 4 The less the total carbon, the better the index of the chalcopyrite concentrate product obtained by separating the iron sulfide minerals, R 3 And R 4 The sorting effect is best for H. The combination of the above results shows that the inhibitor and the flotation reagent have very remarkable effect on the separation of the chalcopyrite and the pyrite, and the indexes of chalcopyrite concentrate products can be further improved by regulating and controlling substituent groups in the inhibitor compound.
From experimental group 6, it can be seen that when the disulfonic acid group is changed to the monosulfonic acid group, the inhibition effect is greatly reduced, the compound is converted from a pyrite inhibitor to a pyrite collector, the recovery rate of the pyrite suddenly rises to 78.8%, and the grade of the pyrite in the flotation concentrate is indirectly reduced to 18.6 wt.%. As can be seen from the experimental group 7, compared with the traditional macromolecular organic inhibitor chitosan of pyrite, the inhibitor of the invention has more excellent inhibition selectivity, can selectively inhibit pyrite in a copper-iron system, and has no obvious influence on the recovery rate of the pyrite. The traditional macromolecular inhibitor has poor inhibition selectivity, inhibits chalcopyrite while inhibiting pyrite, and causes the recovery rate and grade of the chalcopyrite in flotation concentrate to be reduced simultaneously.
