CHAPTER 7 FLOTATION OF SULPHIDE MINERALS

Flotation of Chalcocite (Cu 2 S) Chalcocite (Cu 2 S) and chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) are the two most commonly floated copper sulphide minerals. Bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4) and covellite (CuS) and energite (Cu 3 AsS 4) are normally present in lesser quantities. The complete flotation of chalcocite is achieved between ph = 1 to ph = 10 with ethyl xanthate.

Sources, Performance and Mechanisms of Metal Ions in the Flotation …

In mineral processing operations, besides target minerals, slurries often contain various metal ions, including common ones with different valence states such as Pb2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, and Fe3+. These metal ions originate from multiple sources during the flotation process, including the dissolution of co-occurring metal minerals during crushing and grinding, the …

Optimizing the Rougher Flotation Process of Copper Ore

The intercept is zero, because the adjustment led to the regression line passing through the zero value. It must be borne in mind that, although we study a specific flotation process for copper ores, its oxidized degree can vary within a range. Therefore, the range of copper grades in the feed was also chosen as independent variables for its study.
