| Abstract: |
| Abstract:The copper-bearing iron tailing in Yunnan Province has a large reserve. In order to realize the secondary utilization of this resource, the technological mineralogy of the tailings was studied. The results showed that the copper grade in tailings was 0.15% and iron grade was 15.54%. The main copper mineral was chalcopyrite, which accounted for 66.67% of total copper, while the iron ore was mainly ferrosilicate and siderite and the content of magnetite was 6.71%. The main components of gangue minerals were SiO2 and Al2O3, and their contents were 33.42% and 7.66% respectively. The structure of ore presented semi-automorphic crystal structure, and the size of minerals was relatively uniform, ranging from 0.005 to 0.05 mm. The dissociation degree of target minerals was about 80%. Hence, recovering chalcopyrite and magnetite effectively was of a great practical significance for the development and utilization of this resource. |
