Recovery Copper from a Complex Copper Sulfide Ore of Yunnan by Using Flotation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Copper ore is the main mineral for the large deposits. Copper minerals are mostly consisting of chalcopyrite, secondly consisting of bornite, there are traces of processing copper blue and malachite, the mineral is disseminated by coarse granularity. This mineral is easy to processing. Production process was using by the process of grinding-flotation. After grinding fineness, lime dosage, sodium sulfide dosage, collector and frother dosage, were determined by the open test. Closed circuit experiment was conducted by those optimal conditions identified in the above test, the recovery of copper concentrate is 88.38% and the grade of copper concentrate is 14.37%.
