Introduction Different sulphide ores respond differently in the prospect of copper activation to thiols for froth flotation. With the BCL Selebi-Phikwe ore body, pentlandite–pyrrhotite–chalcopyrite co-occur and there is the constraint of fine pentlandite dissemination in the pyrrhotite, so that liberation is limited. In the presence of …
The aim of this study is to apply process mineralogy as a practical tool for further understanding and predicting the flotation kinetics of the copper sulfide minerals. The minerals' composition and association, grain distribution, and liberation within the ore samples were analyzed in the feed, concentrate, and the tailings of the flotation …
Copper smelting slag (CSS) is commonly generated during the smelting process of the copper concentrate, it comprises a range of valuable metals, especially the valuable copper (Cu), possessing the greatest recovery value. Currently, direct flotation is commonly used to recover Cu from CSS, but the Cu recovery rate is usually below 90%. …
Based on the above, the aim of the present work is to evaluate the performance of the Ro-Star mill when regrinding a porphyry copper concentrate and follow the flotation behavior of liberated minerals. IMPC 2020: XXX International Mineral Processing Congress, Cape …
