Oxidized lead-zinc ore refers to lead-zinc ore that exists in the form of oxides, carbonates, silicates, etc. in nature. Compared with traditional sulfide lead-zinc ore, the flotation difficulty of oxidized lead-zinc ore is relatively high, and traditional flotation processes have poor effects on oxidized lead-zinc ore. Therefore, the application of new technologies in the flotation of oxidized lead zinc ore is of great significance.
At present, there are several new technologies for the flotation of oxidized lead zinc ore:
Wet oxidation flotation technology: This technology oxidizes lead and zinc in oxidized lead and zinc ores into floatable lead and zinc oxides through wet oxidation reaction, and then performs flotation separation. This technology can increase the flotation rate of lead-zinc oxide ore by more than 20%, while also significantly reducing the dosage of reagents and processing costs.
Hypochlorite flotation technology: This technology uses hypochlorite as a flotation reagent, which can improve the flotation rate of oxidized lead zinc ore. At the same time, this technology has the characteristics of fast flotation speed, low dosage of reagents, and environmental friendliness.
Organic colloid flotation technology: This technology uses organic colloids as flotation agents, which can improve the flotation speed of oxidized lead-zinc ore and reduce the dosage of reagents.
Overall, the application of new technologies in the flotation of oxidized lead zinc ore is very promising. These new technologies can not only improve the flotation rate of lead-zinc oxide ore, but also reduce flotation costs and environmental pollution. Of course, the properties of different mines and ores can also have an impact on the application of technology, and choices need to be made based on specific circumstances.
