Experiment study on recovering lead and zinc from a flotation tailings in inner mongolia by flotation

Abstract

The most valuable elements in a flotation tailings in Inner Mongolia were lead, zinc and silver, and the main lead and zinc minerals were oxide minerals such as cerussite, sardinianite, smithsonite and hemimorphite, and so on and the content of lead and zinc sulfide minerals such as galena, sphalerite were small. The flotation tailings was used as the research object and the indexes of the lead grade of lead concentrate for 48.30%,the recovery for 65.41%,and the zinc grade of Zinc concentrate for 42.24%,the recovery for 84.69%,. total recovery of silver in lead and zinc concentrate for 55.53% were obtained on the condition of mesh of grind for -0.074 mm95.3% and at suitable conditions by flotation flowsheet of the step-by-step flotation, that was floating sulfide minerals of zinc, oxide minerals of lead and oxide minerals of zinc one by one. Lead, zinc, and silver in the tailings were recovered effectively, from which excellent economic benefits can be obtained.
