Based on the problems at the Huangshaping Polymetallic Concentrator, where excessive use of sodium sulfide in the bulk flotation process led to difficulties in bismuth-sulfur separation and the accumulation of a large amount of low-grade bismuth middlings, process optimization research for molybdenum-bismuth-sulfur separation was carried out following a process mineralogy study of the raw ore. The results show that the raw ore contains 0.061% of Mo and 0.048% of Bi. Using reagents B11 and CK-S and adopting the process flowsheet of grinding-iron removal-molybdenum-bismuth iso-flotation-separation of Mo-Bi bulk concentrate-sulfur flotation from iso-flotation tailings, a molybdenum concentrate with a grade of 38.57% Mo and a recovery rate of 45.10% has been obtained, as well as a bismuth concentrate with a grade of 37.21% Bi and a recovery rate of 68.38%. The tailings from Mo-Bi flotation can be further processed through one roughing, three cleaning, and two scavenging stages to produce a sulfur concentrate with S grade of 23.17% and a recovery rate of 32.66%. Compared with the original process, the new process significantly increases the bismuth grade from 4.86% to 37.21%, and adds a saleable sulfur concentrate product. Efficient recovery of bismuth and sulfur has been achieved, effectively solving the problems of low recovery rate and serious resource waste in the original process.
