Beneficiation method for copper nickel sulfide ore

The invention relates to a beneficiation method for copper nickel sulfide ore. The beneficiation method is characterized in that a beneficiation process of the method comprises the following steps of: grinding crude copper nickel ore; preferably floating copper mineral from the ground crude ore; performing copper selection on the obtained rough copper concentrate I for five times to obtain copperconcentrate and five selected copper middlings; performing copper scavenging on copper tailing I twice to obtain copper tailing II and two scavenged copper middlings; performing rough selection of nickel mineral on the obtained copper tailing II to obtain rough nickel concentrate and nickel tailing I; performing nickel selection on the obtained rough nickel concentrate for three times to obtain the nickel concentrate and three selected nickel middlings; performing nickel scavenging on the obtained nickel tailing I twice to obtain the nickel tailing and two scavenged nickel middlings; and sequentially returning the two scavenged nickel middlings to the previous layer respectively. By the method, the copper and the nickel have high adaptability to the sequential preferred floatation and separation process, so that the copper and nickel mineral embedded into complex low-grade fine particles can be recovered, the preferred floatation and separation of the copper and nickel mineral can be realized, the quality and the recovery rate of the copper and nickel concentrate are obviously improved, and the method is simple in operation and high in controllability, and has strong adaptability to the ore.
