The theoretical grade-recovery curve for an ore is a definition of the maximum expected recovery by flotation of a mineral or element at a given grade. This is defined by the surface area liberation of the value minerals and is consequently directly related to the grind size utilised in the process. The theoretical grade-recovery can be readily used to quickly identify …
Flotation may also prove to be the more economical process for an ore containing such minerals as stibnite, copper-bearing sulphides, tellurides, etc., which require roasting before cyanidation, since it reduces the tonnage passing through the furnace to a fraction of the original feed with considerable reduction of working costs in consequence.
In this section, we carry out a case study to maximize the ore grade in the copper concentrate and determine the best operating conditions (for example, reagent dosages) of …

The fallacy of this reasoning is not difficult to see since, by definition, percent recovery is a function of feed assay, tails, and concentrate grade. If copper tailing is constant, and it very nearly is for a strictly sulfide copper ore, percent recovery must fluctuate almost directly to the feed assay.
Measure and Evaluate Flotation Tail Losses. In this example, the losses of chalcopyrite to the copper scavenger tail is equivalent to about 10 percent of the copper in the ore. ...

A large porphyry copper flotation plant has been simulated using a flotation model developed from first principles using the hydrophobic force as a kinetic parameter (Huang et al., 2022, Gupta et al., 2022).The input to the simulation was the size-by-class liberation matrix (m ij) of a flotation feed, which was essential for predicting the size-by-class flotation rate …
In this fitting, the grade of copper in the floatable material (G Max) is 34% (this grade is very close to the grade of copper in Chalcopyrite mineral), the grade of copper in the non-floating component is 0.072%, while b is 0.0000408, indicating that the rate at which floatable material is recovery to the concentrate by true flotation is over ...

It is applied in a scavenging application on rougher flotation tails that have passed through hydrocyclone size separation to remove lower grade fine material. The coarse material enters a Hydrofloat cell which recovers a coarse ...
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 circuit, the grade and ...
Grade-recovery curves are the standard way in which flotation bank and plant performance are represented as it is a clear way of showing the trade-off between the two …
minerals, copper ores are floated by froth flotation. Then, the copper concentrate is obtained selectively. The flotation process has a typical flowsheet which include rougher flotation, rougher scavenger, middling, regrinding and 3 stage cleaner flotation. The stages are as shown in the Fig. 3 – Flotation Flowchart. 2.
The effect of conditioning time, pH, collector and frother dosage, and a number of flotation stages on grade and recovery of pyrite were studied at laboratory scale, using a fresh tailing sample ...
Highlights: Metal extraction of 96.1 - 5% nickel and 96.1 - 97.7% cobalt from bioleaching tests. Bioleaching could offer much higher metal recoveries than flotation (29-51% nickel and 48-89% cobalt), significantly increasing the value of current mineral resources. Both massive sulphides and rougher sulphide tails are amenable to bioleaching, potentially …
The present invention involves a method for separating copper sulfide from rimmed iron sulfide by flotation. Prior to flotation, a slurry containing the sulfides is oxidized and conditioned to achieve ... Method for achieving enhanced copper flotation concentrate grade by oxidation and flotation . United States Patent 5110455 . Abstract: ...
Lead cleaner-tail products were sent to the zinc circuit, and the zinc cleaner tails were combined with the final flotation tails for analyses. Since grade and recovery of lead were still not satisfactory, even at the finer grind of 400-mesh, a more detailed study was made to determine means of improving lead concentration.
This molybdenum flotation circuit, based on 250-500 tons per 24 hours is designed for low-grade molybdenum ore having high-grade streaks and with pyrite-quartz gangue.It is also basically sound for many other friable sulphide ores, such as antimony, silver and even some lead ores. The basic ideas stressed in this moly flotation flowsheet are the …

expected that the copper grade of the Sarcheshmeh copper complex flotation circuit decreases. The previous researches [4-6, 8] resulted in a rather small improvement in the copper grade, but in this research due to a change in the circuit layout and adding one cleaner stage to the circuit, the final copper assay significantly increased.
In low-grade and complex copper ores, the specific gangue minerals present can vary depending on the ore deposit, and silicate minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals are the most common [3, 8].Recently, amorphous silica, a non-crystalline form of silica with a relatively low particle density and complicated rheological properties, has garnered …
