Before starting the laboratory flotation test, process water pH was adjusted to 9.5 by lime addition. All tests were carried out at a temperature of 20 °C. Prior to flotation, the test feed batch was ground in a laboratory mill at 70% solids for 27 min. The tests were performed using an Outotec GTK LabCell flotation machine with a 2 L ...
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 liquid flotation reagents such as Aerofloat 15, 25, and 31 are commonly used in conjunction with the xanthates. These reagents possess both promoter and frother properties. When malachite and azurite are present, reagent 425 is often a useful promoter. This reagent was developed especially for the flotation of oxidized copper ores.

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 drawn. The …
To understand froth flotation, first read that article and come back to read about sequential flotation of Copper, Lead and Zinc. ... Copper (Chalcopyrite and others) As Lime is added and rises pH towards 12, depressed again is …
In the mineral processing field, flotation techniques have witnessed significant trends and best practices that are shaping the industry. One prominent trend is the increasing reliance on digitalization …
The presence of clays, in particular clay slime, may complicate many mining operations. Clay slime particles may possess a negative or positive charge depending upon the pH in the process and their presence may lead to reduced recoveries in flotation processes. It is assumed that slime particles may adsorb onto the surfaces of the minerals to be floated …
1. Introduction. Wet milling in ball mills followed by flotation is the general practice employed in the beneficiation of copper sulphide ores in which the major minerals of commercial significance typically are chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2), bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4), covellite (CuS) and chalcocite (Cu 2 S). The flotation response of ground minerals can …

Most copper-molybdenum ores adopt the mixed flotation-copper-molybdenum separation process, because molybdenite and chalcopyrite have similar floatability and serious concomitant, and this process has lower cost and simpler process. In general, the mixed collectors of flotation machine use xanthate (butyl xanthate), …

The Pyrite Depression in a Copper Only Flotation circuit is simple enough. If your froth flotation system only tries to recover chalcopyrite-copper, you need to bring the plant's pH up to the other side (right side) of the PYRITE curve.
