Fig. 2 shows that as pH increased from 9.0 to 10.5 and then to 11.5, the pyrite recovery obtained from the flotation of the ore with 5 % pyrite decreased steadily from 94.5 to 40.6 % and then to 10.3 %. Hence, a direct link between the decreased pyrite recovery in Fig. 2 and the increased Cu grade in Fig. 1 when pH increased could be …
The dosage of a collector is an important factor that determines the efficiency of a froth flotation process. The representative sample of the carbonatitic Palabora copper ore ground 45 % passing 75 µm was froth-floated with sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX) collector at 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 g/t dosages. The concentrates and tails were dried …

The ore is mined from an open pit, crushed, and fed to ten ball mills. The concentrator is divided into two parallel comminution-flotation sections, so that five ball mills feed each flotation section. Both sections consist of three bulk copper and molybdenum rougher flotation lines, and the rougher concentrate is transferred to a …
To carry out the study of the collectorless flotation in the presence of ferrous sulfate was used pyrite ore that comes from the mining region of Zimapan, Hidalgo, Mexico, where the particles obtained consist of a single phase, most of them being pyrite. The mineral with sections around 0.250 cm, was ground in a manganese steel ball mill …
In general, Cu-Zn sulfide ores consisting of a Cu/Zn ratio of 0.4–1:1 (w / w) [16,17,18,19,20] are processed by a two-step flotation: (i) the selective flotation of Cu minerals while depressing sphalerite using zinc sulfate (ZnSO 4)—a sphalerite depressant—and other gangue minerals such as pyrite (FeS 2) and silicate minerals under ...
Role of starch and metabisulphite on pure pyrite and pyritic copper ore flotation 41 Mineralogical study also showed that about 50% of ore is formed by pyrite, as a major mineral in the ore. Table 1. Chemical …
The pulp temperature can reach up to 50 °C in the grinding mills and even in the flotation cells in the hot regions ... The ore sample was ground to d80 = 45 µm using a ball mill with high chrome grinding media. 500 g/t sodium metabisulphite (SMBS) was used in the grinding stage to depress sphalerite and pyrite in Cu-Pb bulk flotation stage ...
The ore, ranging from 60-65% silica, with pyrite, arsenopyrite, and calcite with 3 to 4% copper. This flowsheet, though simple, is adequate for tonnages of 100 to 500 tons or more per day, depending on the size of …
This study aims to investigate the ball milling effect on particles flotation using fractal dimension, in which the calculations in the particles morphology has been made using the...
In the flotation process of copper ore processing, the collector adsorbed on the surface of the target mineral, which increases the hydrophobicity difference between valuable and gangue minerals.Then the mineral particles with high content of beneficial minerals are adsorbed on the surface of the bubbles, and finally, the air bubbles float up.
Starch and meta bisulphite were used as a depressant for pure pyrite sample and a pyritic copper ore at two different pHs values. pH was 6.5 and 10 in pure pyrite study while it was 6.9 and 12 in ...
The first pneumatic-flotation plant in this country was erected by me in February 1914 for the National Copper Company at Mullan, Idaho, a description of which has already been published. The results were fully …
Geco Flotation Cells. In the Geco New-Cell Flotation Cell the pneumatic principle is utilized in conjunction with an agitating device. The machine, which is illustrated in Fig. 44, consists of a trough or cell made of steel or wood, whichever is more convenient, through the bottom of which projects a series of air pipes fitted with circular ...
The process choice of copper ore flotation is determined by the raw ore properties. Meanwhile, there are many determining factors for the copper ore flotation process, like the mineral disseminated particle …
form of water-based slurry) is transported to the flotation circuit where the copper sulfide ore minerals are concentrated and separated from the nonmineralized material by a series of rougher (see fig. 3) and cleaner flotation cells, which produce successively higher grade concentrates. This flotation slurry, also

The laboratory and plant flotation results show that gold grade and recovery were improved using AERO 7249 without significantly sacing Cu grade and Cu recovery for the Grasberg ore.
The fresh copper oxide mineral surfaces exposed during crushing and grinding have a significant effect on subsequent flotation [23], [24], [25], [26].Many dangling bonds exist on fresh mineral surfaces because of destruction of the original lattice bonds, and the copper oxide mineral surface often shows strong polarity because of the …
The dominant challenge of current copper beneficiation plants is the low recoverability of oxide copper-bearing minerals associated with sulfide type ones. Furthermore, applying commonly used conventional methodologies does not allow the interactional effects of critical parameters in the flotation processes to be investigated, …
