A Copper Flotation Flowsheet. Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial. The flowsheet in this study illustrates a typical 3,000 ton per day operation.
The increasing complexity of ore deposits, declining ore grades and higher global demand for copper has resulted in increased ore processing by flotation plants around the world.
The copper minerals and waste rock are separated at the mill using froth flotation. The copper ore slurry from the grinding mills is mixed with milk of lime (simply water and ground-up limestone) to give a basic pH, pine oil (yes, it comes from trees -- a by-product of paper mills) to make bubbles, an alcohol to strengthen the bubbles, and a ...
Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste-water treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century. It has been described as "the single most important operation used for the recovery and upgrading of sulfide ores". The development of froth flotation has improved the recovery of valuable minerals, such as copper- and le
Jul 09, 2019 1 Types of copper sulfide ore (1) Single copper mineral Its ore characteristic is relatively simple, and the only useful component that can be recycled is copper. The gangue minerals are mainly quartz, carbonate and silicate. (2) Copper-sulfur ore Called copper-bearing pyrite. In addition to copper minerals, iron sulfide can be recovered, and the main mineral of sulfur is pyrite.
Secondary sulfides – those formed by supergene secondary enrichment – are resistant (refractory) to sulfuric leaching. These ores are a mixture of copper carbonate, sulfate, phosphate, and oxide minerals and secondary sulfide minerals, dominantly chalcocite but other minerals such as digenite can be important in some deposits. Supergene ores rich in sulfides may be concentrated using froth flotation. A typical concentrate of chalc

This is a very practical arrangement and often a necessity when handling wet, sticky ore. There is evidence that this combination of crushing and grinding results in lower costs for reducing large tonnages of ore to flotation size. Grinding Porphyry Copper Ore. The flowsheet illustrates a typical grinding circuit with a rod mill in open circuit.
Flotation is widely used to concentrate copper, lead, and zinc minerals, which commonly accompany one another in their ores. Many complex ore mixtures formerly of little value have become major sources of certain metals by means of the flotation process. This article was most recently revised and updated by Chelsey Parrott-Sheffer, Research Editor.
Jun 16, 2014 The flotation machine is used for the separation of the nonferrous black metal as well as the separation of the non-metallic materials such as the coal fluorite and the talc.

After the copper ore is crushed, liquid is added to make it a slurry. The slurry is a mix of valuable copper ore minerals and “worthless” rock, called gangue (pronounced “gang”). The slurry is placed in a tank and a process called froth floatation is used to separate the copper minerals from the gangue. Chemical reagents called ...
1. Introduction. Flotation is widely applied in the mineral processing industry to recover valuable minerals from crude ores. In general, metallurgical performance of a flotation process depends mainly on the mineralogical nature of the ore being processed, the performance of the flotation cells, aeration and hydrodynamic conditions of the pulp in flotation cells, the particle size ...
12.4 FLOTATION PRACTICE IN BENEFICIATION OF COPPER AND COPPER–MOLYBDENUM ORES The selection of reagent scheme and flowsheet used in actual plant practice is usually dictated by the nature and mineralogy of the ore, type of minerals present, flotation behavior of gangue minerals, amount and occurrence of pyrite in the ore and the presence of ...
copper sulphides, difference in their activity and size create the considerable problems in implementation of selective flotation, obtaining conditional copper and zinc concentrates. Despite several of studies that have been done related to this issue, effective selective flotation of tennantite ores is still the subject to investigation. 4.2.
Effective flotation collector reagent selection is dependent on the sulphide minerals present, their mineral associations in the ore, and circuit characteristics. Because an ore typically has more than one copper sulphide mineral type, often a combination of sulphide flotation collectors is used to maximize metallurgical performance.
Sep 12, 2012 This shows you the froth produced by flotation on a porphyry copper ore of about 1.5% Cu. You see the rougher flotation, the cleaner and scavenger circuit. It is a very small pilot plant small ...
Each ore type also responds differently to flotation under similar reagent schemes, which is not the case when treating porphyry copper ores. Therefore, each individual ore deposit and operating plant uses a different reagent scheme, which may indicate that for each ore, the reagent scheme has to be tailored through extensive laboratory and ...

13.1 some geological and mineralogical features of copper-zinc ores relevant to flotation The geology and mineralogy of copper-zinc ores is similar to that of copper-lead-zinc ores, and in most cases, these ores are grouped together with copper-lead-zinc ores.
The Flotation Process. Until quite recently copper ore had to be hand-picked if the extraction of the metal was to be economical. In fact, in the last century, ores of 4 percent grade were regarded as almost valueless. Today such ores (which would be regarded as relatively rich in copper) are scarce; the great majority of mines contain the ...

Abstract: The copper oxide ore in Dali, which contains 0.69% of copper and 11.24g/t of silver, was beneficiated by sulphidizing - xanthate flotation method. The flotation tests were carried out systematically with sodium sulfide as sulphidizing agent and butyl xanthate + ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate as the combined collectors.

Copper extractionWikipedia Copper oxide ores have occasionally been treated via froth flotation via sulfidation of the oxide minerals with certain chemicals which react with the oxide mineral particles to produce a thin rime of sulfide usually chalcocite, which can then be activated by the froth flotation plant.
The copper-lead-zinc ores have an origin similar to copper-zinc and lead-zinc ores, the exception being those ores that contain copper, lead and zinc as the principal economic minerals. In addition, some of these ores contain significant amounts of precious metals and, more rarely, cobalt and nickel.
Overview Copper Ore Flotation Processing Plant is mainly composed of jaw crusher, ball mill, spiral classifier, magnetic separator, flotation machine, ore concentrator and dryer machine combining with ore feeder, bucket elevator and belt conveyor which formed a complete ore beneficiation production line. Advantage 1.Low noise in construction site, high air quality.
Copper is found alongside many other types of ore. It can be found near gold, silver, zinc, lead, and other types of metal deposits. When mixed in with other ores, copper is not usually found in great abundance. Until the development of the modern copper mining process, it was typically a byproduct of mining for other metals.
Copper-Zinc ores Usually chalcopyrite, sphalerite and iron sulphides are present with this type of ore. Gangue minerals are typically various silicates, carbonates, and often talc the latter which presents flotation challenges.
Nov 22, 2019 Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophobic. In some cases, for example, sulphides ores of copper, zinc and lead concentration is brought by this method.In this method, the advantage is taken of the preferential wetting of the ore by an oil.The finely ground ore is taken in a tank containing water and 1% of pine oil or turpentine oil.
