1. The role of sodium sulfide in mineral processing
Sodium sulfide (Na2S) is a commonly used agent in the flotation of sulfide ores. Its functions mainly include the following three aspects:
1. Sodium sulfide is an inhibitor of most sulfide minerals
When used in large amounts, it can inhibit the vast majority of sulfide ores. The decreasing order in which it inhibits sulfide minerals is roughly: galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite, pyrite, and chalcocite. Since molybdenite is naturally very buoyant, sodium sulfide cannot inhibit it. Taking advantage of this, when flotating molybdenite, Na2S can be used to suppress other sulfide ores.
2. Sodium sulfide is a sulfiding agent for non-ferrous metal oxide ores
Non-ferrous metal oxide ores cannot be directly collected by xanthate. However, if sodium sulfide is added to react with non-ferrous metal oxidized minerals before xanthate flotation, a thin film of sulfide minerals can be produced on the surface of the mineral, and the xanthate can be collected. This effect of sodium sulfide is called sulfidation, so it can be used as a sulfiding agent for non-ferrous metal oxide ores.
After the interaction between cerusite and sodium sulfide, the surface color changes from white to dark. After the interaction between malachite and sodium sulfide, the surface color changed from green to dark black, indicating that after sulfide, a sulfide film different from the mineral was formed on the surface of these two minerals.
3. Sodium sulfide is a deagent for sulfide ore mixed concentrates
When sodium sulfide is used in large amounts, it can decompose xanthate collectors on the surface of adsorbed minerals. Therefore, sodium sulfide can be used as a dechemical agent before the separation of mixed concentrates. For example, before sorting lead-zinc mixed concentrate or copper-lead mixed concentrate, the slurry can be concentrated, a large amount of sodium sulfide can be added to remove the chemicals, then washed, fresh water can be added again to mix the slurry, and then separation and flotation can be carried out.
In addition to the above three main functions, because sodium sulfide can form insoluble sulfide precipitation with many metal ions, sodium sulfide can also eliminate certain ions in the slurry that are harmful to flotation.
