Nov 01, 2001 Bulk copperlead flotation is performed at natural pH using a NaS-NaCN-ZnS04 depressant system, combined with sodium isopropyl xanthate as the collector. The bulk rougher concentrate is cleaned three times before copperlead separation, using the flowsheet shown in Figure 6. The zinc circuit is a standard lime-CUSOq circuit with xanthate collector.

And included flotation test work to produce separate copper and lead concentrates from a bulk concentrate as well as a zinc concentrate the process flowsheet included a prefloat circuit preceding sulphide flotation to remove hydrophobic talc copper and lead were recovered to a bulk concentrate and zinc was recovered to a zinc concentrate
The copper ions replace zinc atoms on the sphalerite surface creating a pseudocopper mineral surface coverage on the sphalerite which is then collected using copper flotation type collectors because most of the iron sulphides also report to the lead flotation tails and so feeds the zinc flotation circuit typically lime is used to raise ph for

Chapter 15 flotation of copperleadzinc ores 151 general overview of the origin of copperleadzinc ores the copperleadzinc ores have an origin similar to copperzinc and leadzinc ores the exception being those ores that contain copper lead and zinc as the principal economic minerals in addition some of these ores contain
It flocculates fine material and may occlude fine coppersulfide particles lime increases the viscosity of the mineral slurry and tends to hinder aeration slowing flotation kinetics in addition the calcium ion also has been shown to decrease recoveries of lead and molybdenumsulfides and to

Nov 01 2015 chitosan has also been explored in the minerals industry for example chitosan could be used as a depressant to depress chalcopyrite selectively in the flotation separation of copperlead and leadiron sulfides huang et al 2013 huang et al 2012a huang et al 2012balso chitosan modified lipidbased particles were observed to adsorb on silica surfaces treated with mucin in the
Only the flotation process mentioned above could make this practicable and even so it requires large companies with huge plants continuous working and immense capital this explains why in order to smelt 4 million tons of new copper in 1963 nearly 400 million tons
The different parameters namely solution ph hdpc hol copper and lead concentrations ionic strength temperature and the presence of foreign ions influencing the flotation process were examined
1 introduction in the mineral processing industry leadzinc sulfide ores are usually processed by froth flotation to enrich the purpose minerals flotation is a complex process and the selective separation of minerals depends on the balance between the hydrophilic species and hydrophobic species on the mineral surface mineral surface species are influenced by many factors such as
Flotation of copper sulphides is a traditional technique for processing the sulphide copper the presence of pyrite in copper concentrates especially the pyrite particles that are surrounded with the chalcopyrite is the most important problem of copper ore processing that leads to a decrease in the quality and grade of concentrate
The invention belongs to the field of complicated copperleadzinc sulphide ore beneficiation separation and provides a copperlead separation flotation inhibitor and applications thereof the copperlead separation flotation inhibitor is formed by mixing polymeric ferric sulfate solution with a mass concentration of 5060 and glycerin solution with a mass concentration of 0812

Recovery of copper is by standard flotation reagents identified in the copper ore flotation description molybdenum will float naturally with the copper but can be crowded in the froth by the copper mineralization and use of a moly collector such as diesel oil kerosene refined oils pine oil or xanthate ester enhances its floatability
To improve the selectivity between copper and lead a sequential copperleadzinc rougher circuit was tested each of the rougher circuits had a dedicated regrind and cleaner circuit the advantages of the sequential circuits are that the levels of selectivity can be increased particularly for copper and lead with this process copper was recovered first with mbs depression of lead zinc and
