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 …
Abstract—An analysis of flowsheets for processing sulfide and oxide copper ores, reagent modes, processing equipment, and flotation indicators in some domestic and foreign …
Flotation of sulphidic and oxidic copper minerals is reviewed, with particular reference to previous studies of refractory copper ore flotation.
Oxide copper mineral deposits contain varying amounts of chrysoeolla, and poor copper recoveries are generally associated with the lack of flotation response from this mineral. Of the …
The process involves two basic flotation methods: (a) fatty acid flotation of oxide copper minerals from siliceous ore, and (b) sulphidization of oxide copper minerals followed by flotation using …
oxide copper in a ore can be taken as a important criterion of floatability of the ore. To determine combined oxide copper in ores, a chemical analytical procedure termed phase analysis has …
Copper oxide minerals are important copper resources, which include malachite, azurite, chrysocolla, cuprite, etc. Flotation is the most widely used method for the enrichment …
In this paper, we have reviewed the surface properties of common copper oxide minerals and summarized application of direct flotation, sulfidization flotation, and activation …
Generally, three basic methods of flotation of oxidized Cu ores are used: 1. Flotation after previous sulphidisation of the surface of Cu oxide minerals. 2. Direct flotation of …
The traditional method applied for the flotation of copper oxide or mixed ores is sulphidisation, which was first developed with industrial success on Pb–Zn oxide ores in Australia (Crozier, …
