Flotation of Indium-Beard Marmatite in the Low Alkali Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Flotation of indium-beard marmatite from Mengzi multi-metal sulfide ore in the low alkali conditions was studied. It shows that the mixed reagent X-41 (Main chemical components: Cu≧12%, S≧18%, O≧48%, H≧4.5%) as a new activator in the flotation at pH 9.5 produced a much better beneficiation than the copper sulfate at pH 13. The grade of zinc and indium was increased by 3.39% and 53.52g/t respectively, while the recovers were increased by 4.57% and 3.54%.
