To efficiently recover copper from magnetic separation tailings of an iron mine in Anhui, the occurrence states of copper, zinc, and sulfur minerals were investigated, and the key process conditions affecting copper recovery were optimized through flotation experiments. The results show that copper with a grade of 0.10% in magnetic separation tailings is mainly present in the form of chalcopyrite, zinc with a grade of 0.37% is mainly present in the form of sphalerite, and sulfur with a grade of 3.22% is mainly present in pyrite. All minerals are fine-grained disseminated. Employing a mixed flotation-preferential copper flotation process, the optimal reagent combination of condition test is determined as follows: collector PQ-5 dosage of 70 g/t; sphalerite depressant as a combination of 400 g/t sodium sulfide, 500 g/t zinc sulfate, and 400 g/t sodium sulfite; pyrite depressant PZ-1 dosage of 300 g/t. The closed-circuit test adopted a one roughing, three cleaning, and two scavenging process, ultimately obtaining a copper concentrate with a copper grade of 20.85% and a copper recovery of 81.41%. Meanwhile, the removal rates of zinc and sulfur in the copper concentrate reaches 94.12% and 96.30%, respectively, achieving effective separation of copper from other minerals. The research results can provide valuable reference for the efficient recovery of copper from the magnetic separation tailings of this iron mine.
