In fresh water, the oxidation of pyrite at alkaline pH inhibits the copper activation on pyrite surfaces and the depression of pyrite in copper ore flotation is normally not a problem (Li et al., 2012). However, saline water facilitates pyrite activation by copper ions and therefore increases pyrite recovery in copper flotation (Mu and Peng ...

The copper flotation circuit consisted of four OK 3 rougher and scavenger cells. Rougher concentrates went through two cleaning stages in OK 1.5 flotation cells. Flotation tailings were thickened to 60% solids on a third supaflo thickener before disposal. Thickener overflow diluted feed to talc flotation cells. 1.6 Carbon Transfer
The rougher flotation behavior of a sulfidized copper ore was studied by a series of batch flotation experiments. Response surface modeling based on central composite design was applied to optimize and evaluate the effects of collector, depressant and frother dosages, solution pH and agitation rate on the copper recovery.
APPLICATION OF FLOTATION TO GOLD ORE. A flotation plant is being erected at the Falcon mine, Rhodesia, to treat ore containing gold and copper. With the exception of the Mt. Morgan, the Etheridge, and the Great Fitzroy mines, Queensland, I have not heard of the flotation process being used successfully to treat ore containing …
The present work investigates a comparative study between mechanical and ImhoflotTM cells on a mini-pilot scale and the applicability of one self-aspirated H-16 cell (hybrid ImhoflotTM cell) on an industrial scale on-site. The VM-04 cell (vertical feed to the separator vessel with 400 mm diameter) was fabricated, developed, and examined. The …

Abstract: Three factors were measured in the flotation process of copper ore: the copper grade in. a concentrate ( ), the copper grade in tailings (#), and the …
The reagent used in the flotation of nickel depends on three basic factors: mineralogy of the ore, flowsheet employed in the treatment of a specific ore, and degree of liberation. But herein, the choice of this scheme of reagents followed usual methodologies employed in industries that produce concentrates of nickel sulfides via flotation.
The ore process flotation technique is enhanced by using external ultra-sonic waves. Compared to the classical flotation method, the application of ultrasounds to flotation fluids generates micro-bubbles by hydrodynamic cavitation.
