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 …
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and …
Copper sulfide ores must be concentrated before they can be economically transported to a smelter. Froth flotation is part of a copper beneficiation process in which finely ground …
Ammonium sulfate [(NH 4) 2 SO 4] is an effective activator of malachite sulfidization flotation.In this work, we explored the effects of ammonium ion (NH 4 +) and copper ion (Cu 2+) on malachite sulfidization flotation and investigated the underlying mechanism.Flotation experiments demonstrated that NH 4 + can not only eliminate the …
