Is was observed a significant optimization in the concentration by froth flotation of the chalcopyrite by using Jig screen and the peptizes were removed during the flotation step. The hydraulic screen handling significantly improves the sludge removal, being more efficient than the use of the Denver Cell. Keywords: chalcopyritechalcopyrite ...
The flotation experiments show that PBAHX has a superior recovery ratio for chalcopyrite (91.89%), but a poor flotation performance on pyrite (34.62%) at a collector concentration of 2 × 10 −4 mol/L and pH 9.0. Further, E-nose detection demonstrates that PBAHX has a lower odor intensity than SIBX, which is attributed to the chaotic ...

Single mineral (chalcopyrite and pyrite) flotation experiments were performed to compare the flotation performance of three collectors SIBX, DTC and MDPE. Fig. 4 presents the influence of pH on the flotation recovery of chalcopyrite (Fig. 4 A) and pyrite (Fig. 4 B) at the dosage of 2 × 10-5 mol/L SIBX, DTC and MDPE. The dosage of …
The effect of SMA on the flotation of chalcopyrite and pyrite was investigated in terms of pulp pH and depressant concentration, as shown in Fig. 2. It can be described from Fig. 2(a), good floatability of chalcopyrite was achieved in entire experimental pH range without the addition of depressant SMA, and the chalcopyrite …
Chlorite and serpentine are common magnesium-containing gangue minerals in copper sulfide flotation. In this study, sodium alginate, a natural hydrophilic polysaccharide, was introduced as a selective depressant for these gangue minerals. Micro-flotation tests were conducted on both single minerals and synthetic mixtures. The …
The ground products were sieved using a standard screen with a pore size of 74 μm. The 90 wt% of the ground products passed through the 74 μm screen in the CIB and CB media was obtained at the grinding times of 4 min and 9 min 30 s, respectively. ... Flotation separation of chalcopyrite and pyrite in different grinding medium systems as …
Selective flotation of chalcopyrite from pyrite is possible at pH=10 and is impossible at pH=4. • Recovery of the selective flotation for chalcopyrite with TC is significantly higher than with DTP. Electrophoretic light scattering is a useful technique to study heterocoagulation, non-coagulation interactions and to diagnose flotation …
The Problem with separating Copper from Zinc by flotation The treatment of heavy sulphide ores of copper containing zinc and pyrite is often extremely difficult particularly if soluble copper and sulphates are present. This is usually the case in ore deposits near the surface or in tropical countries where the annual rainfall is quite high. …
Figure 3 showed the effect of PAAS dosage on the flotation behavior of chalcopyrite, serpentine and talc. The experiment was carried out at pH 7. It can be seen from Fig. 3 that the dispersant ...
However, in the presence of 4 × 10-4 mol/L of L-cysteine, the flotation recovery of chalcopyrite reduced to approximately 20% at pH 4, and further reduced to 5% at pH 12. Compared to chalcopyrite, the depressive effect of L-cysteine on molybdenite was negligible in the tested pH range. These results indicated that L-cysteine could …
