The purpose of this study is to propose the flotation procedure of seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) ores to separate chalcopyrite and galena as froth and sphalerite, pyrite, and other gangue minerals as tailings, which is currently facing difficulties due to the presence of water-soluble compounds. The obtained SMS ore sample contains CuFeS2, …
Lead–zinc sulfide ores are among the common sulfide ores that use flotation for beneficiation. Flotation of these sulfide ores is accomplished using multi-stage differential flotation. Several flotation cells are used to separate and recover galena (lead sulfide, PbS), followed by floating sphalerite (ZnS) in a sequential manner (Basilio et ...
Lead and zinc ores are usually found together with gold and silver. A lead-zinc ore may also contain lead sulfide, zinc sulfide, iron sulfide, iron carbonate, and quartz. When zinc and lead sulfides are present in profitable amounts they are regarded as ore minerals. The remaining rock and minerals are called gangue.
Abstract—Gold and silver are capable of forming stable natural compounds with different elements. For gold 36 minerals are known: 10 in the class "Native metals, intermetallic compounds" and 26 in the class "Sulfides (selenides, tellurides, arsenides, antimonides, bismuthides)." For silver, 194 minerals are registered in the MMA, …
In this investigation, the effect of two different ore types (high pyritic and low pyritic feeds) was studied on rougher stage of industrial copper flotation circuit. Samples were taken from different streams and the structure of chalcopyrite within the pyrite and non-sulfide gangue minerals was examined in various size fractions for mentioned ...
Sodium cyanide. Sodium cyanide is mainly used to depress sphalerite in the first or lead-flotation stage in separating lead from zinc minerals. Its action on pyrite is nearly as strong as on sphalerite, but it does not affect galena unless a large excess is added or the contact time is too long. The effect of sodium cyanide is often intensified ...
This paper discusses some of the latest efforts to improve the understanding of the use of lead nitrate in cyanidation. The study is based on an electrochemical approach to establish the nature of the mechanisms related to gold, a surface analysis study, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), to determine the modifications on gold and sulphide …
Electrode consumption was 4 kilograms per metric ton of material smelted. The Westly furnace, used 3-Phase, 50-cycle alternating current at 112 to 230 volts. The several sizes were of 200- to 900 kw. capacity, and the power consumed in the large furnace was less than 700 kw.-hr. per metric ton of ore smelted.
In this investigation, the effect of two different ore types (high pyritic and low pyritic feeds) was studied on rougher stage of industrial copper flotation circuit. Samples were taken from different streams and the structure of chalcopyrite within the pyrite and non-sulfide gangue minerals was examined in various size fractions for mentioned ...
The gold processing flow diagram is as follows: (gravity separation process) 4. Flotation-roasting-cyanidation leaching process for high-sulfide gold ore. The symbiotic relationship between gold and sulfide in high-sulfide gold ore is close, and most of the gold is wrapped in sulfide, so the gold recovery rate of direct leaching will be ...
Formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidizing agent stronger than oxygen, by sulphide minerals during grinding was investigated. It was found that pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S), and galena (PbS), which are the most abundant sulphide minerals on Earth, generated H2O2 in pulp liquid during wet grinding …
2.6.1 Introduction. Sulfide ore flotation is a complex electrochemical system. Electron transfer not only occurs between the sulfide minerals and flotation reagent molecules, but it also happens among different sulfide minerals. Many sulfide minerals are narrow band gap semiconductors.
metals (copper and zinc) from the pyritic gold concentrate. Adding lead nitrate had a negligible effect on gold extraction whilst improving silver extraction. Dissolution of copper was substantially suppressed by adding lead nitrate, i.e., from 23% (no Pb(NO 3) 2) to 4% (500 g/t Pb(NO 3) 2) over 24 h. Zinc dissolution was negligible (≤0.01%).
Due to the low contents of lead and zinc, it is difficult to directly observe their occurrence in the run of mine ore. In order to identify the lead and zinc minerals, the copper flotation concentrate was studied and the representative SEM images are shown in Fig. 2. Lead in the ore exists mainly as galena and jamesonite, and zinc in the ore ...

Collector type and pulp pH play an important role in the lead–zinc ore flotation process. In the current study, the effect of pulp pH and the collector type parameters on the galena and...
The use of these reagents has been extended in recent years to three- stage selective flotation. For example, ores containing the sulphide minerals of lead, zinc, and iron, can be treated to yield three …
Pyrite (FeS 2) is the most abundant sulfide mineral and usually occurs both as a primary and secondary mineral according to its genesis.Lattice substitution of some minor and trace elements such as nickel, cobalt, arsenic, lead, and gold are also the results of this ore genesis and geographical location [] and may have an impact on pyrite …
The lead–zinc ore is a typical low-grade complex polymetallic sulphide ore. Its typical mineralogy is characterized by a high content of cryptocrystalline graphite, low content of lead, zinc, and copper, and fine grain size. However, the aggregation size of sulfide mineral aggregations is coarse, and the symbiotic relationship is relatively …
Introduction. Pyrite (FeS 2, iron disulfide), is the most abundant sulfide mineral and commonly associated with valuable minerals such as sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, gold as well as coal (Wang and Forssberg, 1991, Wang, 1995, Dimitrijevic et al., 1996, Jiang et al., 1998).Pyrite has very low economic significance and is usually removed from the …
6.1.1 Lead and Zinc Ore Mining Lead and zinc ore is nearly always mined below the surface of the ground. Some veins of ore lie as deep as several thousand feet but most deposits lie close to the surface. Lead and zinc ore is mined almost exclusively in underground operations, though a few surface operations do exist.
A Copper Flotation Flowsheet. Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial. …
Abstract and Figures. The effect of chemical reagent configurations was investigated on two different copper sulfide ore types including high and low pyritic feeds. Three different combination of ...
What is a Flotation Collector. For industrial sulfide mineral flotation, the xanthates and dithiophosphates are the major classes of Flotation Collectors compounds used, where M+ is either Na+ or K+, and R is a relatively short hydrocarbon chain typically containing two to five carbon atoms. The solubility, pH application range, physical state ...
