Abstract: Aiming at the problem of low recovery rate of silver and copper in the on-site separation process of a high silver-
tin-copper-zinc associated ore in Inner Mongolia (with Sn grade of 0. 86%,Ag grade of 125. 5 g/ t,Cu grade of 0. 32%,Zn
grade of 1. 14%),mineral processing technology optimization tests were carried out. On the premise of rough grinding of raw
ore (with the fraction of -0. 074 mm accounting for 55%) while ensuring tin preservation,a new process of "silver-copper rapid
flotation,sulfide ore bulk flotation,separation of silver-copper from zinc-sulfur,zinc-sulfur separation" was proposed,which
realized the efficient recovery of Ag,Cu and Zn. The closed-circuit test yielded a comprehensive Ag-Cu concentrate with Cu
grade of 9. 62%,Ag grade of 4 104. 99 g/ t,Cu recovery rate of 82. 94%,and Ag recovery rate of 90. 29%. Meanwhile,the zinc
concentrate achieved Zn grade of 42. 85%,Ag grade of 316. 80 g/ t,Zn recovery rate of 69. 94%,and Ag recovery rate of
4. 70%. The research results indicated that this process not only ensures Sn recovery,but also significantly improves the recovery
rates of Ag and Cu,providing a technical basis for the comprehensive utilization of this mineral resource.
