Abstract: In order to solve the technical problem of low copper recovery efficiency in the flotation process of complex high-sulfur copper-zinc ore,a high-sulfur copper-zinc ore in Yunnan is taken as the research object,and the synergistic flotation comparison test of ammonium butyl aerofloat,mercaptobenzo⁃ thiazole sodium(MBT-Na)and its composite system is systematically carried out. The synergistic effect and flotation performance under different collector ratios are discussed.The experimental results show that when the mass ratio of MBT-Na to ammonium butyl aerofloat is 2.5,the composite system exhibits the best synergistic collection effect.On this basis,zinc sulfate,lime and water glass are used as inhibitors,2# oil is used as foaming agent,and the closed-circuit process of one roughing,three cleaning and three scav⁃ enging is adopted. Finally,the excellent indexes of copper concentrate grade of 32.54% and copper recov⁃ ery of 95.24% are obtained,and the efficient recovery of copper in the high-sulfur copper-zinc ore is real⁃ ized.It provides theoretical basis and process guidance for the efficient flotation of complex high-sulfur cop⁃ per-zinc ore and the optimization of collector system,and is of great significance to promote the efficient utilization of polymetallic ore resources and the development of green beneficiation technology.
