The flotation of oxide copper ore containing chrysocolla and quartz with 2.13% Cu was studied by Nagaraj and Somasundaran . By using the collector emulsion containing 0.034 kg/t Tergitol and 0.5 kg/t LIX65N in hexane (3.0 kg/t), a concentrate was obtained within 4 min. of flotation and two stages of cleaning. The ...
The rougher bulk concentrate contains 4% copper with 75% recovery. After recleaning, the final copper con-centrate produced contains at least 20% copper with 85% recovery. The plant within the Tominskii MPE produces 28 million t of porphyry copper ore per year, where the initial content of copper in the ores is 0.4%.

Copper oxide ore is characterized by low ore grade, fine embedded particle size and severe slime coating, which is a difficult ore to be processed in China [1].Malachite [Cu 2 (OH) 2 CO 3] is a classic type of copper oxide and can be widely applied in copper metal extraction [2].And it is a type of hydroxy copper carbonate, which is formed by …
Modified date: 23/04/2023. Copper (Cu) ore is a naturally occurring mineral deposit that contains copper in varying concentrations. It is an important industrial metal that has been used by human civilizations for thousands of years due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high ductility, and resistance to corrosion. Copper is ...
The aim of this study was the recovery of copper from the oxide copper ore by froth flotation and agitating sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4) leaching. The ore with 4.21% copper grade used in this study was obtained from Çorum-Dangaz region of Turkey. Native copper, cuprite (Cu 2 O), tenorite (CuO), and malachite (Cu 2 (OH) 2 /CO 3) were the
For instance, the fine-grained copper oxide ore is poorly floatable and displays a lower recovery during the flotation process [7]. Up to now, sulfide flotation is still one of the most widely used processes in copper oxide ore dressing, but it is unable to solve the problem of low recovery of micro-fine oxidized copper ores [8,9].
Oxide and/or mixed ore flotation are separated into two distinct treatments: (i) direct flotation and (ii) sulfating flotation (controlled by potential sulfidation). The collectors for direct flotation are fatty acids (oleic acids, sodium oleate), fatty amines, petroleum sulfonate, and hydroxyl acids ( Deng and Chen, 1991, Li et al., 2015 ).

Raw Ore (Copper Oxide Ore) Leaching Direct leaching of the copper oxide ore recovered copper minerals under the following conditions: grinding fineness 0.074 mm, which accounted for 80%, a leaching time of 4 h, a liquid/solid ratio Fig. 1. Test procedure. Table I. Results of the chemical element analysis of the copper oxide ore …
The copper ore flotation method can be divided into forward flotation and reverse flotation according to the separation of valuable components: discharging useless minerals (gangue minerals) in the slurry as tailings are called forward flotation. Otherwise, it is called anti-flotation. Copper is one of the important non-ferrous metals. In the …
The dominant challenge of current copper beneficiation plants is the low recoverability of oxide copper-bearing minerals associated with sulfide type ones. Furthermore, applying commonly used conventional methodologies does not allow the interactional effects of critical parameters in the flotation processes to be investigated, …
Dekun et al. (1984) and Rule (1982) described the use of hydroxamic acids for natural ore flotation of oxide copper ores. It is evident that much of the published literature deals with mechanistic aspects of hydroxamate interaction with oxide minerals and laboratory flotation of single minerals. Although, there is little useful information in ...
Sherwood Copper's Minto Mine processes a high grade copper–gold deposit in Yukon, Canada. The ore mined is from a primary copper sulphide deposit with separate additional deposits of copper oxides.In conjunction with Ausmelt Chemicals, Minto is currently investigating options to recover copper oxide and sulphide minerals using …
For example, when copper is in the form of carbonate (malachite, blue copper ore), the flotability is relatively good, while the flotability of silicate (silica malachite) is poor, free copper oxide is easy to float, and copper oxide can not be recovered by a single flotation method. Copper oxide minerals in a separate state are called free ...
Here is a comparison of two Hydroxamate Collectors used for the flotation of Oxide copper, namely CTC3 from OXFLO and AM2 (AKA Rinkalore) from AXISHOUSE. This report contains a comparison of the scoping test-work done by both suppliers to determine which one is the best Oxide Collector.. Test Summary #1. Flotation by …
The aim of this study was the recovery of copper from the oxide copper ore by froth flotation and agitating sulphuric acid (H2SO4) leaching. The ore with 4.21% copper grade used in this study was ...

A new method, staged flotation for effectively increasing the recovery of ultra-fine copper oxide ore with a new type of collector (ZH-1, C3-5 carbon chain xanthate) is proposed for the first time. The flotation process and mechanism were examined by flotation tests, entrainment rate analysis, laser particle size experiments and …

The objective of this study was to investigate the floatability of a complex Kansanshi mixed copper ore with a special focus on the sulphidisation process. Controlled potential sulphidisation (CPS) is preferred over slug sulphidisation as the industry standard for the flotation of oxide copper minerals. Two potential ranges were investigated in ...
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). Figure 1: Chalcopyrite extracted from Zacatecas, Mexico. from Rob Lavinsky (iRocks) under a CC-BY-SA-3.0 license.
Copper oxide ore has a complex composition, and a low recovery rate is often achieved via the traditional sorting method. A new combined process of …
Chemical methods and flotation are usually exclusively used for separation of copper oxide.
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. The flowsheet in this study illustrates a typical 3,000 ton per day operation. In general most operations of this type have two or more …
Many of our largest copper deposits contain both sulfide and oxidized copper minerals. The large porphyry mines, with a total copper content of from 1.3 to 2.0 per cent., send to their mills ore with an oxide content of from 0.2 to 0.4 per cent. While the recoveries of the sulfide minerals are considered satisfactory, using modern flotation ...
The flotation concentrate is then dewatered and filtered to produce a filter cake that is sent to a copper smelter. Copper processing - Ores, Refining, Smelting: Principal forms in which copper ores are found include native copper, porphyry copper, massive deposits, and mixed ores. Native copper is simply the metal found unadulterated in nature.
