Get PriceNov 01, 2011 Abstract. In the quest of new, less hazardous, and more ambient-friendly froth flotation reagents, the use of biosolids or humic acids as both collector and frother for the concentration of copper sulphide ores was investigated. Rougher flotation tests were conducted in Denver cells on a laboratory scale, and metallurgical indicators such as

froth flotation performance obtained with a bornite-rich copper sulphide ore from Okiep Copper Mine with a feed grade of 1.8% copper. Batch flotation tests were used to assess the performance in terms of mass-water recovery, sulphur grade-recovery and copper grade-recovery relationships and the Klimpel rate constant for copper recovery
Feb 26, 2017 Froth Flotation Process for Copper. ... The problem in flotation of nickel sulphide ores is the high selectivity required for a high ratio. Mechanically the flotation cells are required to handle a coarse high density feed which in itself presents a difficult operating condition
of copper sulphide ore by froth flotation, and produced 3.7 million tonnes of fine copper. It is expected that in 2021 the fine copper production will reach 6.8 million tonnes with an installed capacity projected to process 1200 million tonnes of copper sulphide ore. This enormous capacity of ore processing could potentially cause
Sulphide ores are the major sources of base metals like Copper, Lead, Zinc, Nickel and Cobalt. Beneficiation of. these base metal sulphide minerals is predominantl y through the froth flotation
Jun 01, 2016 The most common activator used in the flotation industry is copper sulphate and it was traditionally used as an activator for sphalerite (zinc sulphide). Copper sulphate has been used on some PGM operations to improve the recovery of base metal sulphide (BMS) minerals, and consequently PGMs, but certain ores, such as UG2, have very little BMS
Flotation of porphyry copper–molybdenum ores (theoretical considerations) Molybdenite-bearing copper sulphide ores are typically beneficiated by froth flotation techniques in two stages. The first stage, commonly known as the copper circuit, produces a bulk copper sulphide molybdenum sulphide concentrate. The second stage
M.G. Aylmore, in Gold Ore Processing (Second Edition), 2016 5.1.1 Platsol™ Process. The Platsol™ process was originally developed in collaboration with the University of British Columbia, Kane Consultants Ltd., and Lakefield Research in Canada for the treatment of flotation sulfide concentrate for Polymet Mining Company in Minnesota and was tested on similar types of concentrate materials
The use of ethyl xanthyl ethylformic ester (EEF) as a collecting agent in the froth flotation method of recovering metal values of sulphide ores is known. Such processes commonly use a frothing agent or frother and may also use a modifier such as sulphuric acid or calcium hydroxide
Table 5 presents the first order flotation rate constant, the maximum theoretical flotation recovery, and the coefficient of variation of the rate constant, obtained from the data of rougher flotation of a copper sulphide ore with 10% (w/w) biosolids, 1.5% (w/w) salt of humic acids, and a mixture of conventional collectors and frothers used in the
Sulfide ores are generally processed using pyrometallurgy, the extraction and purification of metals by processes involving the application of heat. This process uses a series of physical steps and high temperatures to extract and purify copper from copper sulfide ores, in four basic steps: 1) froth flotation, 2) thickening, 3) smelting, and 4

Synopsis. This paper presents both the fundamentals of sulphide mineral flotation and the practical aspects of sulphide ore flotation. The fundamental aspects of the flotation of sulphide minerals both in the absence and presence of thiol collectors are discussed in relation to their crystal structure, surface chemistry and electrochemical characteristics
History of Sulphide ore flotation dates back to beginning of 20th century. Sulphide ores are major sources of base metals like Copper, Lead, Zinc, Nickel, Cobalt etc. Beneficiation of these base metal sulphide minerals is predominating through froth flotation technique. This technology has acclaimed importance as a versatile process for
Keywords: flotation, process optimization, Taguchi orthogonal array, ANOVA. 1. Introduction Froth flotation is widely used for separating base metal sulphide minerals in complex ores. One of the major challenges faced by the flotation of these ores is the ever varying grade and mineralogy as the ore is exploited (Kabuda et. al., 2011)
Apr 13, 2016 Flowsheet for treatment of Copper Sulfide ores rich in minerals such as chalcopyrite with gold and silver as well as arsenopyrite. The above flowsheet is designed for the treatment by flotation of copper as chalcopyrite with gold and silver values. The ore, ranging from 60-65% silica, with pyrite, arsenopyrite, and calcite with 3 to 4% copper. This flowsheet, though simple, is adequate for
Thiol collectors are used in the froth flotation of copper sulphide ores. The xanthates, dithio-phosphates and dithiocarbamates are classes of thiol collectors that each form different surface products on different copper sulphide minerals. It has been shown that the use of mixtures of thiol collectors can have benefits over the
Our alternatives have proven performance in the flotation of copper ores, polymetalic ores and gold associated to sulfides. HOSTAFLOT collectors are formulated to achieve the best possible recovery and selectivity when needed. Our solutions encompass the flotation of ores containing lead, zinc, copper, nickel, cobalt
I am processing copper ores with high carbon content (shale). The feature of the flotation foam large bubbles with high surface tension. I'm looking for a reagent that can help decrease the stability of the bubble, but that does not affect the recovery of copper and can prevent flotation of coal
