This means that 95.7% of the copper present in the ore was recovered in the concentrate, while the rest was lost in the tailings. (c) The % Cu Loss can be calculated by subtracting the % Cu Recovery from : % Cu Loss = 100 – 95.7 = 4.3% This means that 4.3% of the copper present in the ore was lost in the tailings.

A new flowsheet was developed to recover the valuable minerals from oxide or oxide-sulfide ores of lead and zinc. The flowsheet consisted of flotation of sulfide minerals, desliming and sulphidization-flotation of oxide minerals. The corresponding reagent system and techniques to the flowsheet were investigated. Batch and continuous tests show that the …

At usual flotation pH of 8 or 9 lead xanthate is more stable than PbCO ... practice and concentrate contracts which penalise impurities in For example in a lead/zinc sulphide ore the galena can be floated first at higher using cyanide to prevent sphalerite and pyrite from floating. Then activation of sphalerite with copper sulphate and high pH ...
Froth flotation is practically the most effective method in their beneficiation when optimum flotation conditions are attained. The aim of the current study is to use …
In the rougher flotation stage, a lead concentrate with 17.29 % Pb and a zinc concentrate with 9.89 % Zn could be obtained by 76.71 % lead and 15.49 % zinc recoveries from the ore samples ...
Lead–zinc oxide ores are commonly found in the oxidation zone of sulfide deposits, which are secondary oxidized minerals formed by the long-term weathering of sulfide ores, and are mainly located near the surface and are easy to mine [14], [15].There are various types of natural lead–zinc oxide minerals, and the main minerals are shown …

Formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidizing agent stronger than oxygen, by sulphide minerals during grinding was investigated. It was found that pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S), and galena (PbS), which are the most abundant sulphide minerals on Earth, generated H2O2 in pulp liquid during wet grinding …

Lead and zinc mainly exist in the form of sulfide ore. At present, it is mainly obtained from lead-zinc sulfide ore [3]. Flotation, which is based on the differences in hydrophobicity of minerals, is an effectively and commonly used method for separating sphalerite (ZnS) and galena (PbS) minerals from lead–zinc ore [4], [5]. The two minerals ...
At present, in Huili dressing plant, the raw sample has been treated by the different flotation of lead-zinc sulfide flotation under high-alkaline pH conditions (pH = 12±), then the zinc oxide minerals recovered from Pb Zn flotation tailings is firstly pretreated by de-sulfurization flotation, physical de-sliming process, following the ...

This paper reviews uses of sodium sulfide in the flotation of oxide minerals of copper, lead, and zinc. The activation and depression effects of sodium sulfide are of particular importance because of their applications with oxidized lead and copper ores. In spite of its industrial importance, the nature of the heterogeneous reactions between sulfide ions in …
Low selectivity and recovery problems occur in the flotation of this copper- rich ore since it includes secondary copper minerals causing high degrees of surface oxidation.
As shown in the summary tables, copper was, on average, 63% recovered into the copper concentrate grading 24% copper. The recovery and grade of unwanted lead and zinc was very low when compared to the other flowsheets. Lead in the feed was, on average, 36% recovered into a concentrate, grading 55%. Similar to the copper …
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

The bulk copper–lead flotation with depression of zinc followed by copper–lead separation and re-flotation of zinc is the most common practice in the treatment of copper–lead–zinc ores. About 90% of operating plants use this method. The bulk concentrate is usually contaminated with pyrite and zinc.
The fresh copper oxide mineral surfaces exposed during crushing and grinding have a significant effect on subsequent flotation [23], [24], [25], [26].Many dangling bonds exist on fresh mineral surfaces because of destruction of the original lattice bonds, and the copper oxide mineral surface often shows strong polarity because of the …
