Method for floating high-sulfur gold-bearing copper ore

The invention discloses a method for floating high-sulfur gold-bearing copper ore, which aims at solving the problems that the existing beneficiation method is lower in copper and gold recovery rate under high-alkali condition, and problems that xanthate and black powder are adopted as high-sulfur gold-bearing copper ore collecting agents, the collecting power is stronger, the selectivity is poor, the separation difficulty of copper and sulfur can be aggravated and the consumption of inhibitors is increased. The method comprises the steps of by adopting lime and sodium metabisulfite as an ore pulp pH regulator and a pyrite inhibitor, and the mixture of isopropyl xanthogen propionitrile ester, black powder acid and ethyl dithiocarboxyl propionitrile ester according to certain proportion as a collecting foaming agent, carrying out ore grinding, rough concentration, primary scavenging, secondary scavenging, primary concentration, and secondary concentration on a crude ore, thus realizing the high-efficiency recovery on copper and gold in the high-sulfur gold-bearing copper ore. According to the method, through reasonable combination and addition of medicaments, the selective adsorption of the collecting agent on target mineral-copper pyrite and other copper sulfide minerals and gold minerals can be reinforced, and the copper recovery rate and the gold recovery rate can be improved.
