Bacterial leaching of copper sulfide flotation concentrate is a complex process Bioleaching of copper flotation concentrate has been investigated by Rivera-Santillan et al 1999 Compared with other copper sulfide concentrates the Polish copper flotation concentrate contains carbonate minerals such as dolomite and calcite
Flash flotation was developed several decades ago with the first commercial installation of this technology being at Hammaslahti concentrator in Finland in 1982 Kallioinen and Niitti 1985 This was a relatively modest sized SK80 cell producing final grade copper concentrate
However this process is based upon density alone and should not be confused with the process of froth flotation Thus the process of froth flotation is not solely dependent upon the density of the material it is also dependent upon its hydrophobic nature For example froth flotation is a technique commonly used in the mining industry
The Platsol process was originally developed in Canada for the treatment of flotation sulfide concentrate for Polymet Mining Company in Minnesota and subsequently tested on other PGM concentrates This process involved codissolution of base metals copper and nickel gold and PGMs via addition of chloride to the autoclave
With the depleting reserves of high-grade iron ore in the world froth flotation has become increasingly important to process intermediate- and low-grade iron ore in an attempt to meet the rapidly growing demand on the international market In over half a century s practice in the iron ore industry froth flotation has been established as an efficient method to remove impurities from iron ore
What Ore is Suitable for Flotation The largest class of ores treated by the flotation process consists of those containing the sulphide minerals of copper these sometimes contain native copper and also gold and silver all of which can generally be floated with the sulphide minerals in one concentrate
Copper extraction refers to the methods used to obtain copper from its ores The conversion of copper consists of a series of physical and electrochemical processes Methods have evolved and vary with country depending on the ore source local environmental regulations and other factors
Aug 06 2010· The flotation process depends on several design and operational variables We consider a superstructure that includes the following three flotation stages the rougher which processes the feed the cleaner which generates the final concentrate and the scavenger which generates the final tailing as shown in Fig 1 This is a simple superstructure but is used here as an example

Jun 14 2011· Copper concentrate flotation process
The difficulty in process plants comes from the constantly changing feed characteristics stringent product quality requirements and the economic need to maximize the recovery of a finite resource A key part of successful plant control is the operation of the flotation circuit Flotation cells have three main control parameters
1 Froth Flotation Fundamental Principles Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral water slurry The particles with attached air …

Gold flotation process is based on the difference of physical and chemical properties of the ore surface and is processed by flotation reagent to make the useful mineral adhere to the bubble to achieve the purpose of gold extraction Gold Flotati
Aug 25 2016· A shortened video of the gold flotation process from a heavy sulphide ore 92 gold recovery The flotation concentrate contains pyrite arsenopyrite and sphalerite and gold
Froth flotation is a very important mineral concentration process that is used to recover a vast array of different minerals containing valuable commodities such as copper lead zinc nickel molybdenum tungsten silver gold phosphate and potash
In conventional flash flotation a SkimAir cell is operated as a standalone cell in a single stage process The single stage process can be recovery- or grade-driven In a two-stage process the SkimAir is used as a rougher unit to produce a lower grade concentrate at high recovery and an Outotec TankCell is used as a cleaner to
