Progress in beneficiation technology of lead-zinc sulfide ore in China during the 13^th Five-Year Plan period

During the "13^th Five-year Plan" period, in order to achieve high-efficiency separation of lead-zinc sulfide ores, energy saving and consumption reduction in the beneficiation process, and recycling of wastewater and waste residue, China′s beneficiation workers have carried out a lot of research work and made great progress. This paper systematically summarizes and discusses the high-efficiency separation technology, clean beneficiation technology and energy saving and consumption reduction technology of lead-zinc sulfide ore through the progress of New Beneficiation Technology of lead-zinc sulfide ore in China during the 13^th Five Year Plan period. The application of relevant new technologies has solved the problems of low recovery rate of main metals and comprehensive utilization rate of associated resources in lead-zinc mineral resources in China, high beneficiation cost and equipment energy consumption, difficult treatment and reuse of beneficiation wastewater, comprehensively improved the development and utilization level of lead-zinc sulfide resources in China, and has good application and promotion value.
