The effect of grinding conditions on the flotation of a sulphide copper ore

The grinding conditions affect significantly the subsequent flotation stage of this sulphide copper ore. The presence of iron ions in the slurry is deleterious to the flotation of copper minerals and may be avoided by the utilisation of lined mills and non-ferrous or corrosion resistant grinding media, such as stainless steel or pebbles.

The separation of chalcopyrite and chalcocite from pyrite …

With the depletion of chalcopyrite-dominant copper ores, more and more chalcocite-dominant copper ores with a high pyritic content are treated. There is a general industrial observation that chalcocite-dominant copper ores are more difficult to treat in particular in cleaner flotation after regrinding (Wightman et al., 2011).

Mineralogical Prediction of Flotation Performance for a …

Characterisation of the samples through QEMSCAN showed that bornite, chalcopyrite, chalcocite and carrollite are the main copper-bearing sulphide minerals while carrollite is the only cobalt-bearing mineral. Mineralogical characteristics were averaged per sample to allow for a quantitative correlation with flotation performance parameters.
