60 Centuries of Copper: The Flotation Process

Only the flotation process mentioned above could make this practicable; and even so, it requires large companies with huge plants, continuous working and immense capital. This explains why, in order to smelt 4 million tons of new copper in 1963, nearly 400 million tons of ore had to be handled and treated in various ways. Flotation depends on ...

The Challenges and Prospects of Recovering Fine Copper …

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 …

Mineralogical characterization of copper sulfide tailings using

As ore grades constantly decline, more copper tailings, which still contain a considerable amount of unrecovered copper, are expected to be produced as a byproduct of froth flotation. This research reveals the occurrence mechanism of copper minerals in typical copper sulfide tailings using quantitative mineral liberation analysis (MLA) …

Bridging the copper supply gap

Applied across the industry, improved coarse particle flotation can result in an additional 0.5 million to 1.5 million metric tons of annual copper production by 2032. If applied across all metals found in sulfide deposits, the technology represents potential value creation of $9 billion to $26 billion per year.

The different effects of bentonite and kaolin on copper flotation

In contrast to bentonite, increasing kaolin content in Telfer clean ore slightly lowered the flotation recovery, but reduced the copper grade substantially. In Fig. 2 (b) with an increase in kaolin content in the ore from 0 to 25 wt.%, the copper grade decreased from 5% to 2.4% in the first concentrate.

Lime use and functionality in sulphide mineral flotation: A review

At Silver Queen mine (Canada) a combined lime-starch-SO 2 conditioning scheme is used for copper flotation from the Pb/Zn sulphides (Bulatovic, 2007b). In the process, lime (1200 g/t) and starch (200 g/t) are used first, at pH 10.5–11.2, after which the pH is reduced to 5.5 with SO 2 (200 g/t) and the copper sulphide floated.

Entrainment of Gangue Minerals in Froth Flotation

Entrainment is a process by which fine and ultrafine particles are transferred to the flotation froth from the top of the flotation pulp, and eventually discharge to the concentrate product, even when they are not attached to gas bubbles. Therefore, entrainment can be considered as a two-step process, one at the upper layer of the pulp …
