Jan 01, 2010 The pyrite flotation rate constant decreased significantly when A. ferrooxidans interacted with the flotation pulp for 20 min. 7. Validation experiments with different frothing times showed that in the presence of A. ferrooxidans , 74% of sphalerite was floated and the Zn grade surged to 26.21%, while the recovery of pyrite was only 15.82%
2004). Pyrite depression with dextrin occurs around pH 8 so using dextrin could lower the pH in flotation processes operating at high pH such as the flotation of copper in porphyry ores and flotation of zinc in polymetallic base-metal sulfide ores. Furthermore, dextrin could be
This cyanide complex depresses pyrite from about pH 6 to pH 11. Above pH 11 the stable species on pyrite surface is Fe(OH)3. 3. 2Sulphite as depressant (SO 3 -) Since dixanthogen is the species responsible for pyrite flotation -X 2 + 2e 2X-E 0 = -0.06 volt
Feb 04, 2021 In both lead and zinc circuits, pyrite is the main sulphide gangue mineral. It is critical to decrease the presence of iron (Fe) and Zn in
and zinc flotation circuit (the Hellyer Project) The Hellyer Project was developed by Aberfoyle Limited and proceeded from discovery in 1983 to production in 6 years.1 The 156 106 t orebody consisted of ne grained massive sulphide containing copper, lead, zinc and silver minerals with gold in a predominantly pyrite matrix
Zinc Process And Ore Flotation. The Problem Of Treating Oxidized Leadzinc Ores For The Production Of Highgrade Lead Zinc Concentrates Is A Complex Problem Due To The Nature Of The Ores And To The Soft Sliming Characteristics Of The Lead And Zinc Minerals The Ore For Treatment Is A Leadzinc Carbonate Ore In A

Chalcopyrite, mainly in the form of irregular monomineral, is disseminated in the crystal and broken cracks of granular minerals ,such as quartz, pyrite and calcite
Froth flotation is widely used for separating sulphide minerals in complex ores. Typical examples in sequential separation of sulphides include sphalerite and pyrite depression during galena and/or chalcopyrite flotation. A common problem for copper-zinc-iron mineral selectivity is related to the unintentional activation of pyrite
stenau and Misra observed similar flotation for pyrite and chalcopyrite and, to a lesser extent, for sphalerite. While such observations and counter-observations contin-ued without resolution of the actual problem, a note-worthy contribution came in 1977 from Heyes and Trahar
The zinc concentrate is actually the tails from this bulk separation step. The flotation tailing is the zinc concentrate. If the silver is associated with the galena, the silver reports to the lead concentrate. While pyrite is fairly easy to depress with lime, pyrrhotite is more difficult to depress
pyrite, dolomite, calcite, are the main gangue minerals. In addition, carbonates are present among the gangue minerals [1]. The presence of high amounts of pyrite and carbonaceous matters are detrimental to the concentration of lead and
the flotation separation is difficult when lead, cop-per and zinc need to justify concentration into three perfect separate products. Flotation problems in general are due to geological origin; hence, the ore have controlling influence on flotation practice. More specifically, the resultant copper or lead ions
In addition, the pyrite content varies among ores. The concentrate products of copper, lead, and zinc can be obtained via flotation separation. The concentrate products of sulfur can be obtained only when the ore’s pyrite content is high. Gold and silver can be recovered from the concentrates of copper, lead, and zinc or from the products of
Oct 18, 2021 Pyrite particles, having framboidal/altered texture, are known to significantly affect pulp chemistry and adversely affect flotation performance. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to demonstrate influence of pyrite mineralogy on the flotation of copper (sulphidic) ores and develop alternative conditions to improve the performance
Apr 14, 2016 The Problem with separating Copper from Zinc by flotation. The treatment of heavy sulphide ores of copper containing zinc and pyrite is often extremely difficult particularly if soluble copper and sulphates are present. This is usually the case in ore deposits near the surface or in tropical countries where the annual rainfall is quite high
Mar 15, 2021 Zinc sulphide concentrates are conventionally treated by roasting-leaching-electrowinning technology which has some environmental and technical problems especially for pyritic concentrates. Processing of complex zinc ores using bioleaching technology has been increased in order to respond to the considerable demand for zinc metal ( Haghshenas et al
Cyanide elimination from lead-zinc flotation N. Magdalinovic1,M. Trumic1,*, Z. Petkovic2, V. Rajic2 1 University of Belgrade, ... process was introduced using the cyanide as depressant for the sphalerite and pyrite. The cyanide was ... Since it is much simpler and more economical to solve pollution problems by removing the causes or by
The invention achieves the following effect: low floatability of pyrite in all technological operations; high and selective recovery of sulphides of copper and zinc in the production of marketable concentrates; the allocation of a significant part of zinc concentrate (more than 70% of the total mass) in the ore flotation after conducting collective copper-zinc flotation, which reduces the

process control equipment needs in conjunction with extension of zinc flotation cell residence time. This paper will describe the metallurgy of the Galmoy operation. Reasons for the poor metallurgy experienced in . 2002 will be described, as well as the solutions identified to overcome these problems. By the second quarter of
Evaluation of tailings from processing plants is always an important issue. Lead-Zinc ore tailings containing 3.12% Zn, 3.43% Pb, 0.71 g/t Au and 74 g/t Ag was subject to this study. Flotation
loss in the flotation of the 85% minus 44 ~ feed is in the minus 5 p.'t1 size fraction (1). The problem of loss of finely disseminated values during sulfides processing has been illustrated best by Arbiter recently in his discussion of the processing of New Brunswick zinc-lead-copper ores
Jul 12, 2021 In the beneficiation of lead-zinc ore, flotation is an important process. Mixing in mixing tank: After the ground pulp is classified by the classifier, it enters the mixing tank for mixing. Control the slurry concentration at 25-35%, then add flotation agent to control the slurry pH value 9-11 and stir it for 6-15 min
