Conclusions. This study established a decision system to output a flotation backbone flowchart according to the natural properties of copper ore. The decision system uses XGBoost as a subclassifier to solve small samples and high-dimensional databases. An MCC was proposed to selectively utilize the relations between the sub-labels.
Typically, rougher molybdenite flotation and recovery from bulk copper/molybdenum concentrates involves the use of alkalisulfides, Nokes reagents, cyanides, oxidants, and/or thermal treatment to depress copper sulfide minerals. The bulk copper/molybdenum feed generally varies from 0.2% Mo to 1.0% Mo, and with …

Flotation. According to the difference in physicochemical properties of mineral particle surfaces, flotation is the method that selectively enriches the target minerals in the pulp at the gas-liquid interface and separates them from the pulp, thus realizing the mineral separation. It is also known as floating separation.
The copper flotation process design is a multi label learning. Before multi label classification and regression, label-specific features for each label need to be selected from the original features. This paper puts forward a multi label feature selection (MLFS) based on domain knowledge and label correlation. In the proposed MLFS, the domain …

After copper recovery by flotation, the remaining part of the slag is considered waste and disposed of in the slag dump area. However, even after copper recovery, copper slag flotation tailings (CSFT) may still contain several metals in varying amounts. However, the complexity and low metal concentration have undermined the …

Flotation of Copper–Gold Ores. For the bulk flotation of copper minerals and gold from supergene copper ores, it is normal practice to add a xanthate as the primary collector and dithiophosphate as a secondary collector (Bulatovic, 1997). This combination gives satisfactory results in respect of copper concentrate grade and copper and gold ...
Fourteen reagents that are potentially capable of chelating with a metal ion on the surface of the major copper sulfide minerals and pyrite were evaluated for their effectiveness in floating these sulfides. The reagents studied fall into the classes of mercaptobenzole mutations, thiouronium, thionocarbamates, thiourea, imidazole …

One of the major limitations in froth flotation remains the efficient, selective recovery of minerals <10 μm in size (Trahar, 1981; Trahar and Warren, 1976). ... The process was evaluated using shift composite samples that were analysed for copper and gold. Because the process targets <38 μm minerals, all samples were sized and the size …
Fig. 2 shows the P 80 of different mineral species in an ore for a major copper operation. These values vary significantly, with the P 80 of total solids, sulfide minerals, iron minerals, copper minerals and molybdenum are ∼ 200, 105, 125, 94 and 85, respectively. Flotation optimization of complex ores often requires a better …

Richard Tilghman Weidner Laurie M. Brown. Flotation, in mineral processing, method used to separate and concentrate ores by altering their surfaces to a hydrophobic or hydrophilic condition—that is, the surfaces are either repelled or attracted by water. The flotation process was developed on a commercial scale early in the 20th century to.
Copper Flotation is a beneficiation method based on the hydrophobicity difference of the mineral surface. While the copper mineral is usually in the form of sulfuration exiting in the mineral. Its natural floatability is good, so froth flotation is the main method of extracting copper ore. According to the processing order of the useful mineral ...
The working condition category is mainly determined by the ore properties. In the copper flotation industry site, the ore mainly comes from two mines. In the grinding process, the ore from a single mine or a mixture of ore from two mines is used. Therefore, there are three types of working condition categories in the copper flotation process.
The recovery of these copper minerals by flotation or hydrometallurgy from ores, typically containing 0.5%TCu (open pit mines) and 1-2%TCu (underground mines) is of great …

Porphyry copper deposits are important sources of copper and typically processed by flotation to produce copper concentrates. As mining areas become deeper, the amounts of impurities, such as sphalerite, can be increased in copper ores, so the appropriate depression of sphalerite floatability should be achieved to obtain saleable copper …
Flotation is a method that enables the separation of hydrophobic particles with the help of air bubbles (Fig. 3 a). In flotation, the particles adhere to air bubbles depending on solid, liquid, and gas contact phases. The interaction of particles and bubbles includes collision, adhesion, and stability [ 3, 4, 5 ].
In flotation of gold-containing base metal ores, a number of modifiers normally used for selective flotation of copper lead, lead zinc, and copper lead zinc have a negative effect on the floatability of gold. Such modifiers include ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O, SO 2, Na 2 S 2 O 5, and cyanide when added in excessive amounts. The adsorption of collector on ...
Copper extraction is distinctly profitable when the selling price of copper is above $6/kg. It is unprofitable for some operations when the selling price falls below $3/kg. At the former price, the industry tends to expand. At the latter, it begins to contract. The selling price of copper in mid-2011 was ∼$9/kg.
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 of ore had to be handled and treated in various ways. Flotation depends on ...
