Abstract:For a sulfide lead-zinc ore in Gansu, lead-zinc minerals are closely embedded, high content of vein minerals, lead-zinc separation of high efficiency is difficult, in order to achieve efficient separation of lead and zinc, the use of preferential flotation process, lead flotation to lime as a suppressant, added in the mill, ethyl sulfide nitrogen as a capture agent, the new high-efficiency inhibitor TZ-3 added in the lead selection operation;In the zinc flotation, copper sulfate is used as an activator and amyl xanthate is used as a collector. Through the closed - circuit test of the whole process, a lead concentrate with grade and recovery of 63.87% and 92.66% respectively is obtained, which contains 2.00% zinc and 335.10 g/t silver. A zinc concentrate with grade and recovery of 55.36% and 97.33% respectively is also obtained, which contains 0.48% lead. The efficient separation and enrichment of galena and sphalerite in this ore are achieved, providing an important r
