The separation of chalcopyrite and pyite is not fully solved, and thus more efficient depressants are still needed in industry. This paper used potassium permanganate (KMnO4) as a pyrite depressant to separate pyrite from chalcopyrite. Flotation and contact angle results indicated that pyrite could be depressed by KMnO4 at pH 7, while KMnO4 …

Porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) are some of the most important sources of copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo). Typically, the separation and recovery of chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) and molybdenite (MoS2), the major Cu and Mo minerals, respectively, in PCDs are achieved by two-step flotation involving (1) bulk flotation to separate Cu–Mo …

Generally, two kinds of basic methods are commonly used for the separation of copper/lead minerals [2,3], such as copper depression with lead flotation and lead depression with copper flotation. Some reagents such as sodium cyanide for the depression of chalcopyrite and sodium dichromate for the depression of galena are …

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.

The flotation separation of Cu-Fe sulfide minerals at low alkalinity can be achieved using selective depressants. In the flotation system of Cu-Fe sulfide minerals, depressants usually preferentially interact with the pyrite surface to render the mineral surface hydrophilic and hinder the adsorption of the collector. This review summarizes …

Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper. The ores typically contain low percentages of copper and have to be concentrated before refining (e.g., via froth flotation).

Arsenic minerals pose a problem for copper flotation concentrates since they are often associated with copper minerals, display similar flotation behaviour to copper minerals and therefore report to final copper flotation products. Despite extensive research, the rejection of arsenic minerals in copper flotation is still a challenge.

As we all know, froth flotation is considered to be an effective method for enrichment and separation of copper oxide due to its simple process, cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness [4]. Currently, sulfide flotation and direct flotation are the two main methods in the flotation of malachite [5].

Flotation is a common mineral processing method used to upgrade copper sulfide ores; in this method, copper sulfide mineral particles are concentrated in froth, and associated gangue minerals are separated as tailings. However, a significant amount of copper is lost into tailings during the processing; therefore, tailings can be considered …
