Two copper ore samples (Ore A and Ore B) having different textural/modal mineralogy and flotation characteristics were taken from different zones of the same ore deposit. Ore B contained framboidal pyrite and altered pyrite/marcasite, which is considered the main reason for the low flotation performance in both copper and pyrite flotation ...
The significant applications of iron ore flotation are reviewed along with an abbreviated discussion on theory and reagent use. Problems or conditions which have militated against a widespread adoption of the flotation process by the iron ore industry, are discussed in contextual relationship to supply, economics, alternatives, and process limitations. Prospects …
The depletion of high- grade ores, increased demand for metals and separation difficulties associated with low-grade or refractory ores, has resulted in new flotation challenges in terms of...
Froth flotation is widely used for concentration of base metal sulphide minerals in complex ores. One of the major challenges faced by flotation of these ores is the ever varying grade and mineralogy. This therefore calls for a continual characterisation and optimisation of flotation parameters such that concentrator performance as a whole is always maintained. In this study, …
The influence of amount of flotation reagents on the efficiency of copper ore flotation in standard laboratory experiments was investigated. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of collector and frother amount on the selectivity of copper upgrading during flotation process of dolomite-shale ore from Fore-Sudetic Monocline area (Legnica-Glogow Copper Basin).
In all flotation experiments, the froth was removed from the cell using a hand scraper and concentrates were XXVI INTERNATIONAL MINERAL PROCESSING CONGRESS(IMPC) 2012 PROCEEDINGS / NEW DELHI, INDIA / 24 - 28 SEPTEMBER 2012 01371 FLOTATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A COMPLEX COPPER ORE: A COMPARISON BETWEEN WET …
ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to examine flotation of utility metals from poor polymetallic ores and verify the potential for profitable yields in connection with potentially …

The flotation of oxide copper ore with sodium oleate was investigated to determine the optimum pH and dosages of chemical reagents. ... especially using environmentally friendly approaches, is one of the main problems in the processing of ...
Due to many problems such as pipe blockage, environmental pollution, and the difficulty of recovering precious metals, caused by extensive use of lime, the conventional program using lime (CaO) as the inhibitor and xanthates (e. g., sodium butylxanthate) (BX) as the collector has become increasingly restricted in use, and lime-free flotation processes are …
Numerous flotation models have been proposed in the literature. Thirteen of these have been applied to batch flotation data and evaluated with respect to one another using statistical techniques.Flotation tests were carried out on samples of a US porphyry copper ore (Pinto Valley, AZ). The ore was tested using various collector and frother systems to produce …
Kinetics of flotation A 1% initial increase in the recovery of copper was reported after Kingman et al. Palabora copper ore 1.3, 1.5, and 2.6 kW microwave treatment. [25] South Africa) 10–300 s With prolonged exposure time, recovery decreased from 86.94% for untreated material to 77.7% under 4 min ore treatment at 2.6 kW.
The major cop-per-bearing minerals identified by microscopic analysis of the concentrate samples included chalcopyrite (56.2wt%), chalcocite (29.1wt%), covellite (6.4wt%), and bornite …

The copper ore sample was obtained from Northparkes Copper & Gold Mine, Australia. This ore was chosen due to its relatively unproblematic flotation characteristics. Such an ore provides a formidable baseline for the identification of the deleterious effects of clays. The chemical assays of the ore sample contains 0.5% Cu, 3.8% Fe, and 0.3% S.
Misreported pyrite into copper concentrates dramatically declines copper grade and recovery. Copper flotation can be also more complicated if flotation feed comes from an elevated-pyritic copper ore.
