A method for improving
ilmenite flotation through
titanium dioxide waste liquid comprises the following steps that (1) after
ilmenite is finely ground, desulfurization flotation is conducted, and
sulfur concentrate and roughed
ilmenite pulp are obtained; and (2)
titanium white waste liquid and a collecting agent are added into the roughed ilmenite ore pulp for flotation, and
titanium concentrate is obtained. The waste acid component in the
titanium dioxide waste liquid is used for replacing
sulfuric acid, bulk consumption of the
titanium dioxide waste liquid is achieved, meanwhile,
metal ions in the
titanium dioxide waste liquid play a role in activating the ilmenite, the
salicylhydroxamic acid iron / titanium complex collecting agent prepared through the titanium dioxide waste liquid can effectively improve the flotation index of the ilmenite, and the flotation efficiency of the ilmenite is improved. The titanium dioxide waste liquid is turned into wealth from waste; and the problems that the titanium dioxide waste liquid is difficult to treat and utilize and high in cost, the consumption of
metal ions is large in the preparation process of the organic
metal complex collecting agent, and the flotation efficiency of ilmenite is low are solved.
