Abstract:
      Spodumene ore imported from Australia contains a large amount of slime, which has a negative impact on flotation. Different methods such as hydraulic sedimentation and flotation were used for pre-desliming spodumene ore. The desliming actions of different methods and their effects on subsequent spodumene flotation were investigated. It is found that desliming of spodumene ore by flotation with sodium dodecyl sulfate as reagent achieves the best desliming effect. The desliming amount is large, while lithium grade of the discarded slime is low, hence the lithium loss in the sludge is small; and the grade of rough spodumene concentrate obtained by flotation after desliming can be improved greatly. After pre-desliming, spodumene ore can obtain good beneficiation indexes through a flotation process of one roughing, two cleaning and three scavenging. Closed circuit test shows that the content of Li2O in this imported spodumene ore is 1.42%. After pre-desliming-flotation process, Li2O grade of the concentrate is 5.83%, and 78.54% of Li2O recovery can be achieved in spodumene concentrate.
