Comprehensive Recovery Process of Skarn Type Copper-sulfur Ore Resources
This is an article in the field of mineral processing engineering.For a skarn copper ore,the disseminated particle size is fine,the valuable elements in the ore are Cu,S,Fe and the associated element Ag.Compared with the effects of copper preferential flotation and copper-sulfur mixed flotation-copper-sulfur separation on the comprehensive recovery,the copper-sulfur mixed flotation-copper-sulfur separation process can achieve better recovery of copper,sulfur and silver,and magnetite has a certain recovery value.Copper concentrate with copper grade of 24.39%and copper recovery of 91.68%and sulfur concentrate with sulfur grade of 33.10%and sulfur recovery of 61.19%were obtained by copper sulfur mixed flotation.Ag was enriched in the copper concentrate,with a grade of 185 g/t and Ag recovery of 83.21%.The recovery of iron concentrate can be increased after the regrinding magnetic separation of flotation tailings.With two-stage weak magnetic separation,iron concentrate with iron grade of 56.48%and iron recovery of 33.84%can be obtained.The results can provide a reference for the similar copper sulfide.
