Abstract This study takes lead-zinc flotation tailings as the research object. The process of “tailings regrinding-lead-zinc mixed floatation-activation zinc separation” is used to comprehensively recover valuable metal elements from original tailings. results show that grinding fineness -74 μm under condition m accounts for 82%; recovery rates lead and in concentrate obtained open-circuit test...
