The flotation process has a relatively simple flow and has the strong adaptability to the change of ore grade. Application: The flotation process is generally used for copper-lead-zinc sulfide ores with simple composition, high raw ore grade, large difference in floatability of useful minerals and coarse disseminated particle size.

Flotation tests indicated that lead and copper ions were equally efficient in activating slightly oxidised pyrite and both produced a high pyrite recovery. For moderately oxidised pyrite, copper ions were superior to lead ions in activating pyrite. However, for severely oxidised pyrite, lead ions prevailed over copper ions in activating pyrite.

The activation effects of single activator and some combined activators on Yunnan copper oxide ore were studied with Drawing a conclusion that the best activation - xanthate flotation result could be obtained by using sodium sulfide and ethylenediamine phosphate as the combined activator. on this basis, the open and closed circuit flotation tests were done, and in the closed circuit flotation ...

The presence of clay in the ore has a detrimental effect on copper oxide flotation. Results from experimental development test conducted on various clay containing ore types using AQ depressants showed that in the presence of these depressants, the results improved markedly using the sulphidization flotation method.

Abstract. This paper reports the results of flotation tests conducted with a copper-lead-zinc sulphide ore. The major sulphide minerals in the ore are chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, marmatite and pyrite with corresponding metal amounts of 6.80% Pb, 1.05% Cu and 1.50% Zn, respectively.

The mineral composition of copper–cobalt ores is more complex than that of copper sulfides, and it is also difficult to discard tailing efficiently in primary flotation for the fine-grained disseminated of ore. In this work, a mineral liberation analyzer (MLA) was employed to study the characteristics of minerals. As a significant mineralogical characteristic, the liberation degree of useful ...

The copper sulfate test is a visual method of determining the existence of free iron in specifically stainless steel. In many cases, the copper sulfate test is used as a pass/fail examination of a passivation process on a part or stock material, but it can also be used as a test to determine if passivation is necessary in the first place.
