A gold mine is a typical broken zone altered rock type gold deposit, with some high grade primary sulfide ore at 20~30m from the surface, and the ore grade is about 5g/t. To understand the nature of the ore, Performed the process mineralogy testing and analysis, The occurrence state of the gold mineral is very good, Most gold is bare gold, It is conducive to the enrichment and recovery; To determine the best selection process and parameters, Conducted experimental studies including Nelson reselection and flotation, Finally determined to adopt the Nielsen reselection-heavy tail flotation process, Au grade 42.15g/t, Au recovery rate of 48.92%; Reconcentration tailings after one rough selection, two sweeps, two selection, Au grade 38.26g/t, The grade of Au of tailings is 0.16g/t; The combined Au recovery rate of reselection + flotation was 97.39%, The concentrate quality and recovery indexes are all good, The benefits are considerable.
Mineralogy automatic determination system combines mineral processing technology with computer technology, and is automatically runs through API, which not only enables the determination of mineral composition and dissociation degree, but also greatly improves the accuracy of detection. Through the system of a complex gold ore process mineralogy analysis, accurately determine the minerals in the sample, dissociation characteristics and occurrence status index, and determine the beneficiation process and the experimental study, has obtained the ideal effect, mineralogy automatic determination system has played an important role in the study.
Automatic process mineralogy detection system has been widely used in beneficiation process parameters detection, cause finding, and defect diagnosis in concentrators. A gold ore composition in Shandong is more complex, and recovery is difficult. To clarify the ore properties, mineral composition, main minerals, embedded characteristics, and monomer dissociation characteristics, the scanning electron microscope, BPMA, and energy spectrometer are used for the ore sample process mineralogy research to provide a reliable basis for the study of the selection process. The research shows that the main valuable elements in the ore are gold and copper, copper and gold symbiotic ore. Meanwhile, the gold, copper, and iron-containing minerals are closely embedded, pyrite and magnetite are the main minerals for sulfur recovery, and magnetite and limonite are the main minerals for producing iron concentrate. Automatic process mineralogy has played an important role in determining the selectability research and beneficiation process of the polymetallic gold ore.
The raw gold grade of a mine in Shandong is 1.42 g/t, and it is accompanied by copper and sulfur minerals, and the embedding is closely related, so it is difficult to obtain the ideal index using the original flotation process. In order to realize the effective recovery of gold, copper, and sulfur, the test study of mixing-separation flotation and priority flotation is carried out. The results show that the mineral is more suitable for the beneficiation process of mixing-separation flotation. The recovery rate of gold, copper, and sulfur is 70.42%, 93.58%, and 68.85%, and the recovery rate is 22.89% higher than the priority flotation. The produced copper and gold mixed concentrate and sulfur concentrate can be directly sold to realize the effective recovery of gold, copper, and sulfur.
