如何处理混合粒度的复杂铌钨矿石？

2025年12月26日

处理颗粒大小混合的复杂钨矿石需要通过战略性组合选矿技术来考虑颗粒大小的变异性及相关的伴生矿物。以下是关键步骤和考虑因素的概述：

1. 矿石特征

• 矿物学分析：进行详细的矿物学研究，以了解钨矿（钙钨矿，CaWO₄）、相关的脉石矿物（方解石、硅酸盐、硫化物等）和杂质的分布。
• 颗粒大小分析：确定钨矿石的解离粒度，并评估颗粒大小的变化，因为这将影响选矿方法的选择。
• 化学分析：评估钨含量及杂质，如硫、磷和砷。

2. 破碎和磨碎

• 压碎：将矿石粉碎到适当大小，以便准备进行磨矿和后续的分离过程，同时最小化过度磨碎。
• 磨粉: Implement staged grinding to liberate scheelite from gangue while avoiding excess fine particles that can reduce flotation efficiency. Employ closed-circuit grinding (e.g., ball mill with cyclone classification).

3. Pre-Concentration

• Use gravity-based methods (like jigs, shaking tables, or spirals) to separate coarse-grained scheelite before fine-grained processing.
• Heavy media separation may also be used for ores with distinct density differences between scheelite and gangue minerals.

4. Flotation for Fine-Grained Scheelite

• 调理： Adjust the pH to slightly alkaline (typically 9-10) using lime or sodium carbonate. Use depressants (e.g., sodium silicate or tannin) to suppress gangue minerals, particularly calcite.
• 捕收剂： Use fatty acids or their derivatives (e.g., sodium oleate) as collectors for scheelite.
• 改性剂： Introduce modifiers to enhance selective flotation (e.g., phosphate depressants, sulfhydryl collectors for sulfides).
• Address the challenge of fine particle processing by implementing measures to promote better particle-bubble interaction during flotation.

5. Magnetic or Electrostatic Separation

• For ores containing magnetite or other paramagnetic minerals, magnetic separation may help remove impurities.
• Electrostatic separation can be useful for additional refining, particularly for fine-grained scheelite concentrates.

6. Hydrometallurgical Processing (Optional, if needed)

• Ores with high impurities or complex associations may require chemical processing post-concentration to remove residual contaminants.
• Alkaline leaching or roasting with soda ash can be used to upgrade concentrates.

7. Tailings Management and Recovery

• Recover fine scheelite particles from flotation tailings using advanced gravity concentration or centrifugal separators (e.g., Knelson concentrators or Falcon concentrators).
• Ensure environmentally secure tailings disposal, especially if the ore contains harmful elements (arsenic, sulfur, etc.).

8. Process Optimization

• Mix different grain sizes strategically during processing to achieve better flow and separation efficiency.
• Customize reagent combinations and operating conditions based on ore variability and mineral intergrowth.

关键考虑因素：

1. 试剂选择： Proper reagent selection is crucial for selective scheelite flotation, particularly for ores with significant calcite or fluorite content.
2. Fine Particle Challenges: Fine materials often pose challenges in flotation due to poor surface interaction. Employ dispersants or hydrophilic coatings to counteract this.
3. Economic and Environmental Feasibility: Opt for environmentally friendly reagents and ensure cost-effective processing routes.

By incorporating these steps and adapting them to the characteristics of the specific ore, complex scheelite ores with mixed grain sizes can be efficiently processed to obtain high-grade tungsten concentrates.
