AEROPHINE Ⓡ promoters are the flotation reagents of choice when treating Cu/Zn, Cu/Pb/Zn and especially Cu/Au/Ag/Pb/Zn ores. These ore types frequently have very high levels of pyrite and other iron sulphides. AEROPHINE Ⓡ promoters are highly recommended over xanthates when selectivity against iron sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite) is required.

A fine grind to about 80% minus 15 microns was required to increase the reaction rate, and iron removal was around 50%-70% for chalcopyrite and 80%-90% for bornite. Experimental. Fine monosize particles, 2.5×5 µm, 5×10 µm, and 10×20 µm, were prepared from Pima concentrate by the Donaldson Company with an Accucut Model B air classifier.

Abstract In copper-gold flotation plants, pyrite which is depressed in copper flotation is often floated subsequently with the addition of sodium sulfide (Na2S) to recover the associated gold. For the first time, this study investigated the role of Na2S responsible for the flotation of pyrite depressed in chalcopyrite flotation through flotation tests and Cyro-XPS (X-ray photoelectron ...

Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) is an important and abundant cupriferous mineral, accounting for 70% of copper resources on Earth (Córdoba et al., 2008, Li et al., 2013).The commonly used technology for copper-bearing ore separation is froth flotation (Liu et al., 2019a, Liu et al., 2019b, Liu et al., 2017).As flotation is a water-intensive process, many flotation plants attempt to use recycled water ...

Bureau of Mines research showed that galvanic interactions between grinding media and chalcopyrite influence the self-induced floatability of chalcopyrite in simulated process water. Similar results were obtained with a synthetic chalcopyrite-quartz mixture and a natural ore, and floatability was dependent on the electrochemical conditions in grinding, conditioning, and flotation stages.

1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air …

When amyl xanthate is used, 85% of chalcopyrite can be recovered with a copper grade of 14.5% in a single-stage froth flotation. The chalcopyrite flotation concentrate can be sent back to chloride leaching circuits.

A process for beneficiating a finely ground ore containing sulfide minerals of copper and nickel by selective flotation to produce a copper concentrate and a copper-nickel concentrate comprises pulping the ore with water to form a slurry, conditioning the slurry with an aqueous solution of SO 2 (H 2 SO 3 ) equivalent to from about 2 to about 4.5 pounds of SO 2 per ton of dry ore for a time ...

Chalcopyrite is a widely distributed copper-iron sulfide mineral, often containing trace amounts of gold, silver and other minerals, and is the main copper-containing mineral. With the deepening of mining, low grade polymetallic refractory chalcopyrite has become an important source of copper ore. Now, let's know the common chalcopyrite flotation processes together.

Valuable mineral in an ore such as chalcopyrite ore can be separated from each other and from worthless gauge minerals by the froth flotation process.
