This article investigates the degradation of typical flotation reagents using lead-zinc smelting slag as a mediator for persulfate activation. It also examines the effect of gallic acid and Cr(VI) on the removal performance and fate of reactive oxygen species. The results provide insights into the remediation of Cr(VI)-organic co-contaminants in non …
A flotation concentrate containing 39.13% Zn, 6.93% Pb and 973.54 g/Mg Ag was obtained from the treated material, and the recovery of Zn, Pb and Ag was 48.38, 68.23 and 77.41%, respectively. The...
The recovery of silver minerals occurring in a lead-zinc sulfide ore is efficiently accomplished using the above flowsheet. The process consists of selective flotation to produce a mixed silver-lead concentrate for maximum smelter return and a separate zinc concentrate. Over-grinding of silver minerals is detrimental to efficient …

Complex and non-sulfide lead–zinc ores are difficult to concentrate, but the growing demand for lead and zinc metals necessitated their beneficiation. Froth flotation is practically the most effective method in their beneficiation when optimum flotation conditions are attained. The aim of the current study is to use process mineralogy as a …
A new flowsheet was developed to recover the valuable minerals from oxide or oxide-sulfide ores of lead and zinc. The flowsheet consisted of flotation of sulfide minerals, desliming and sulphidization-flotation of oxide minerals. The corresponding reagent system and techniques to the flowsheet were investigated. Batch and continuous tests show that …
The work was done with samples from the "Morro Agudo" mine and aimed to verify the influence of the pulp Eh potential on lead and zinc flotation. The samples were from the primary crushing. During ...
