This molybdenum flotation circuit, based on 250-500 tons per 24 hours is designed for low-grade molybdenum ore having high-grade streaks and with pyrite-quartz gangue.It is also basically sound for many other friable sulphide ores, such as antimony, silver and even some lead ores. The basic ideas stressed in this moly flotation …

When floating the flotation tails in the laboratory without any additional reagents, the recovery was seen to improve by an average of 5% while floating the tails with additional reagents improvements of up to 10% were observed (Figure 1). The higher the acid-soluble copper (AsCu) feed grade, the higher the observed improvement (Figure 2).

1. Introduction. The flotation process is a separation technique primarily used in mineral processing for the recovery of minerals (Wills and Finch, 2016), that also finds application in other industrial processes such as wastewater treatment and paper recycling (Saththasivam et al., 2016, Vashisth et al., 2011).Separation of mineral particles by …

reground and sent to cleaner flotation. The cleaner tails go to scavenger flotation, while the concentrate, with a grade of over 20% copper, goes to the next process. The final concentrate is thickened and filtered before being stockpiled for road transport (380km) to the Salaverry port, for shipment to copper smelters in Japan, Germany and ...

The demand for copper is ever-increasing, playing a critical role in the transition to a clean-energy economy. By the early 21st century, most of the rich copper oxide ores had already been mined out, leaving current deposits with a grade sometimes less than the tailings of earlier mining [1,2].A study conducted by Calvo et al. [] revealed …

Most flotation circuits include an initial stage of rougher flotation, followed by a scavenger stage of flotation. The objective of passing through the rougher and scavenger …

From the composite sample tested by Ma and Bruckard (2009), which had a head grade of 0.11% As and 1.2% Cu, it was possible to produce a low-arsenic high-copper concentrate containing 52% of the non-tennantite copper and assaying 2600 ppm As. Computer simulations have shown that for a feed containing a more typical arsenic and copper …

Dewatering and water recycling are therefore essential for mineral processing operations. Copper is one of the most widely used metals in various industries. About 20 million tons of copper were produced worldwide in 2019 (Esmaeili & Aslani, 2019). Large amounts of tailings are produced when copper minerals are concentrated …

Hargraves Resources operates a gold copper mine at Brown's Creek, NSW, Australia. The mine treats 450,000 t/y of ore containing 5.6 g/t gold and 0.4 % copper, producing about 72,000 oz/y of gold and 1500 t/y copper using a mixture of gravity and flotation. Overall gold recovery is about 90%.
