Nov 01, 2011· Mineral Flotation. Flotation has been at the heart of the mineral processing industry for over 100 years, addressing the 'sulphide' problem of the early 1900s, and continues to provide one of the most important tools in mineral separation today. The realisation of the effect of a minerals hydrophobicity on flotation all those years ago has ...
DetailsCopper processing example A high pH is important in copper ore processing to maximize this mineral's flotation properties. Most copper ore slurries tend to be acidic. Plants typically add lime to the slurry in the mill or floatation circuit, increasing its alkalinity. A typical copper operation contains many flotation cells,
DetailsJul 09, 2019· 1 Types of copper sulfide ore. (1) Single copper mineral Its ore characteristic is relatively simple, and the only useful component that can be recycled is copper. The gangue minerals are mainly quartz, carbonate and silicate. (2) Copper-sulfur ore Called copper-bearing pyrite. In addition to copper minerals, iron sulfide can be recovered, …
DetailsIt is seen that chalcopyrite can be floated from pyrite at pH 7.5 and 30 mg L −1 sodium cyanide and since, of the copper minerals, chalcopyrite lies closest to pyrite relative to the influence of alkali and cyanide, all the copper minerals will float with the chalcopyrite. Thus, by careful choice of pH and cyanide concentration, excellent separations are theoretically …

DetailsMay 24, 2022· Method: As the floatability of molybdenite is similar to that of copper sulfide minerals, preferential flotation processes will be avoided when selecting a mineral recovery process. The more commonly used process flow includes copper and molybdenum mixed flotation-copper and molybdenum separation process, rough …
DetailsWills (2006) noted that copper sulfide (Cu 2 S) minerals have good flotation response to anionic collectors such as amyl, iso-propyl and butyl xanthates, and the concentrations of collectors added usually vary between 3 and 300 g per tonne. Rougher concentrates and middlings are usually reground and floated for maximum recovery.
DetailsCopper is separated from the cobalt in the bulk concentrate by raising the pH up to at least 11 which depresses the cobalt minerals. Cobalt depression can be enhanced by small cyanide dosages. If the cobalt is found with chalcopyrite, bulk flotation can be carried out with xanthate at pH 10, and separation made at pH 4 with an amine and ...
DetailsThese minerals are intense from crushed ores to the level of 10 to 15% copper by froth flotation or bioleaching. Heating this material with silica in flash smelting removes much of the iron as slag. The procedure exploits the better ease of converting iron sulfides into its oxides, which in turn react with the silica to form the silicate slag ...
DetailsMay 24, 2022· Method: Massive sulfide copper deposits of volcanic origin usually contain associated zinc, mainly sphalerite or sphalerite, and these deposits contain substantial amounts of pyrite or magnetic pyrite. It is easy to oxidize during mining, crushing and grinding, and the oxidized surface can seriously affect the flotation speed of copper, …
DetailsFlotation is the common copper processing technology, which can be used for sulfide ore and oxide ore. The copper flotation plant usually includes following steps: crushing and screening, stage grinding and flotation, thickening and dewatering, and copper concentrates recovery.
DetailsJul 05, 2022· Prediction of metallurgical responses during the flotation process is extremely vital to increase the process efficiency using a proper modeling approach. In this study, two new variants of the recurrent neural network (RNN) method were used to predict the copper ore flotation indices, i.e., grade and recovery within different operating conditions. The …
DetailsJan 01, 2020· Wills (2006) noted that copper sulfide (Cu 2 S) minerals have good flotation response to anionic collectors such as amyl, iso-propyl and butyl xanthates, and the concentrations of collectors added usually vary between 3 and 300 g per tonne. Rougher concentrates and middlings are usually reground and floated for maximum recovery.
DetailsOct 28, 2022· The optimal closed-circuit flotation test flowsheet was designed based on the results of single-factor condition experiments.It is particularly pointed out that adding sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3) before ball milling is to increase the possibility of copper-bearing mineral liberation from gangue minerals .The balance results after five cycles of testing …
DetailsApr 14, 2016· Copper 3.78%. Sulphur 42.38%. Zinc 12.45%. Gold 0.01 oz/ton. Iron 32.84%. Silver 1.50 oz/ton. Insoluble 8.50%. In order to meet smelter requirements it is desired to produce at least a 20% copper concentrate with not over 8% zinc. The copper is present principally as chalcopyrite in extremely close association with both the sphalerite …
DetailsMar 20, 2019· In this article, a novel chelating collector, 5-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-4-amino-1,2,4-triazolidine-3-thione (TMATT), was designed to separate and recover copper oxide minerals, and its flotation response to malachite, calcite, and quartz was compared with that of the traditional collector n-octyl hydroxamic acid (OHA).

DetailsThis flotation step is conducted at alkaline pH. In the case where galena is floated and the copper minerals are depressed, copper depression can be achieved by using sodium sulphide, hydrosulfite, lime, cyanide, zinc-cyanide and/or ferricyanide complexes. Selection of flotation reagents and frothers is an important, even critical, consideration.
