The effect of starch concentration on chalcopyrite flotation at pH 7.5. In contrast to other starches, Ox 10/120 showed a somewhat linear dependence on polymer concentration as confirmed by a continual decline in chalcopyrite recovery. At higher concentrations (from 33.3 mg/L to 47 mg/L) Ox 10/120 appeared to be less depressive compared to the ...

Generally, froth flotation is the most widely used approach to separate valuable minerals from gangue minerals due to their different floatability [8], [9], [10], [11].It has been found that the chalcopyrite and molybdenite have quite similar natural floatability and are very difficult to separate [12], [13] from each other. In order to enlarge their floatability difference, some …
In chalcopyrite flotation practice, EX exhibits a good collecting capacity but a poor selectivity and it is easy to oxidize and decompose. Besides, prolonged EX exposure can also damage the human liver and nervous system. In contrast, HEDP is a more stable and environment-friendly reagent, which has already been proved in water treatment ...

Chalcopyrite, as the most abundant and widespread copper-bearing mineral (accounting for nearly 70% of the Earth's copper), is a primary source of copper [1,2,3].Froth flotation is the most often used method to obtain chalcopyrite from natural ores due to its natural floatability stemming from different surface properties [4,5].However, surface oxidation due to …
The chalcopyrite deposit in Malanjkhand, India, is the largest copper ore producer in the country. However, its flotation performance has room for improvement.

Flotation is widely adopted to separate sulfide minerals from talc (Zhong et al., 2021, Farrokhpay et al., 2018, Witney and Yan, 1997).However, in the flotation beneficiation of sulfide minerals, such as chalcopyrite, talc easily enters into copper concentrate due to its natural floatability, then affecting the copper grade in concentrate.
Flotation results, as well-scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet spectrophotometer, and zeta potential measurement results indicate that nano-ceramic ball grinding is beneficial to the flotation of chalcopyrite. Flotation results also indicate that chalcopyrite has better floatability after nano ...
This study aimed to investigate the effect of varying pyrite (Py) content on copper (Cu) in the presence of different regrinding conditions, which were altered using different types of grinding media: iron, ceramic balls, and their mixture, followed by flotation in the cleaner stage.

The effect of pyrite on chalcopyrite flotation has been studied. A galvanic interaction model was first proposed by Ekmekçi and Demirel (1997) to describe the interaction between chalcopyrite and pyrite. When chalcopyrite and pyrite are both present in pulp and come into contact, a galvanic couple of chalcopyrite-pyrite (Cpy-Py) will form due to the rest potential …

The oxidation of chalcopyrite has been extensively studied. The collectorless flotation of chalcopyrite resulting from mild oxidation is the most thoroughly studied [9], [10].Light oxidation formed a metal-deficient layer on chalcopyrite surface including elemental sulfur and polysulfides, and improved hydrophobicity of chalcopyrite [11].Surface oxidation led to a …

Flotation remains the main technique for separating chalcopyrite and galena (Xie et al., 2021).Nevertheless, these minerals have comparable natural floatability (Lai et al., 2020, Piao et al., 2014), and common collectors such as xanthates lack selectivity (Jiao et al., 2021)during the flotation process, presenting separation challenges.A feasible solution is the use of …
Micro-flotation Tests The Influence of pH on Mineral Flotation. For sulfide ore flotation, the pH of the pulp is very important for flotation recovery. 11,29 Figure 2 demonstrates the flotation recovery of chalcopyrite and pyrite, with or without treatment by ferric ions, when the pH changes. When no iron ions are added, the recovery of chalcopyrite is high at pH 2–12 …
There is a wide diversity of flotation collectors for chalcopyrite. For example, ionic and soluble xanthates are the most widely used collectors thanks to their strong flotation ability [12], [13], [14].Unluckily, xanthates have the disadvantage of instability and poor selectivity in the production practice [15].They are prone to disintegrate into CS 2 (carbon disulfide) at lower pH …
