The copper ore in Chilean copper porphyry deposits is often associated with molybdenum minerals. This copper–molybdenum (Cu–Mo) sulfide ore is generally mined from various locations in the mining site; thus, the mineral composition, oxidation degree, mineral particle size, and grade vary. Therefore, in the mining operation, it is …
In order to investigate the effect of particle size on the flotation performance in the separation of copper-gold-lead, froth products of various size fractions were collected as a function of flotation time.

In this paper, a review of the existing studies on water quality variation in flotation is given in three aspects: causes of water quality variation, consequences of …
Flotation is a common mineral processing method used to upgrade copper sulfide ores; in this method, copper sulfide mineral particles are concentrated in froth, and associated gangue minerals are separated as tailings. However, a significant amount of copper is lost into tailings during the processing; therefore, tailings can be considered …

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 and data analytics. Mining companies are investing in advanced sensors, data integration, and machine learning to gain deeper insights into …
Cyclic alcohols are used in copper ore flotation as secondary (supporting) collectors. ... Of a note is a review published by Farrokhpay and Zanin, where the authors thoroughly discuss the effect of water quality, including pH, and type and concentration of salts (CaCl 2, AlCl 3 and NaCl) on froth stability, in the context of published data ...
This report provides a perspective on the amount of water used by a conventional copper flotation plant, including the makeup water required to compensate for water losses. …
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 results showed an optimum flotation condition at dosages of 80 g/t, 30 g/t, and 150 g/t of collector, frother, and dispersant respectively with copper recovery …
This report provides a perspective on the amount of water used by a conventional copper flotation plant, including the makeup water required to compensate for water losses. Much of the global supply of copper originates from mines that also produce byproduct molybdenum, but for simplicity, a single copper concentrate has been modeled for this ...
Flotation stands out as a successful and extensively employed method for separating valuable mineral particles from waste rock. The efficiency of this process is subjected to the distinct physicochemical attributes exhibited by various minerals. However, the complex combination of multiple sub-processes within flotation presents challenges …
The increasing complexity of ore deposits, declining ore grades and higher global demand for copper has resulted in increased ore processing by flotation plants around the world.
The results showed that the pulp temperature was the most effective parameter affecting the flotation performance. Copper, lead and zinc grade of the …
Ion flotation is an efficient separation technique for the recovery of metal ions from dilute aqueous solutions. Provided that both the collected metal and the surfactant are recovered from the phase, it could be considered as an alternative to ion exchange, adsorption or solvent extraction in hydrometallurgy. However, most studies …
This study reports on accumulation of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb in insect species (grasshoppers) from different sites in the vicinity of a copper smelter and copper-flotation factory in mining ...
In flotation, pH control is a vital method to control selective mineral separation. A standard depressant that is used is an Alkali. ... There are, however, one or two ores containing sulphide copper minerals which need an acid circuit for successful flotation. by David Michaud February 29, 2024 August 10, 2015 Categories Flotation, …
Detailed laboratory column flotation tests were conducted to improve the quality of copper concentrate at Malanjkhand Copper Project (MCP) of Hindusthan Copper Limited (HCL). Amenability of column as cleaner was studied on the rougher concentrates of lean and typical copper ores. Effect of column parameters viz. air flow rate, feed flow rate and …
Results show that using wastewater (only with secondary treatment) in flotation is detrimental to copper recovery. However, molybdenum recovery is significantly improved. For mixtures with 50 [%] wastewater, 50 [ppm] frother, 20 [ppm] collector, and pH 10, copper recovery decrease amounts to 0.4 [%], while molybdenum shows a 2.4 [%] …
