The invention discloses a method for recovering
indium-enriched marmatite from
copper,
zinc and
indium coexisting polymetallic ore under a low-alkaline condition. By adoption of the method, the technical problems that under the high-alkaline condition,
indium-enriched marmatite is poor in floatability, difficult in excitation and low in indium
recovery rate, and concentrate metals are high in content are solved. The method comprises the steps that a
chemical agent is added into crushed and ground raw ore,
slurry is formed through blending, and then
copper,
zinc and
sulfur iso-flotation is conducted; and coarse grains are reground after iso-flotation rough concentrate is graded, an inhibitor is added for adjusting the mineral
slurry and the pH value of the
slurry, then
copper selection is conducted, and copper concentrate and copper cleaner
tailings are obtained; the copper cleaner
tailings and copper,
zinc and
sulfur iso-flotation
tailings are blended, then an activator is added and blended with the slurry, zinc and
sulfur bulk flotation is conducted, and coarse grains are reground after zinc and sulfur bulk flotation rough concentrate is graded; and
lime is added for adjusting the pH value of the mineral slurry, then zinc selection is conducted, and zinc concentrate and zinc cleaner tailings are obtained. By adoption of the method, the use amount of the inhibitor in the copper and zinc grading operation, the flotation mineral flurry pH value and the concentrate
metal contents are lowered, and the indium and zinc
recovery rates are increased; and meanwhile, the flotation process is simplified, and the flotation efficiency is improved.
