Beneficiation of a tin-sulphide ore 27 Contamination of the two sulphide concentrates by pyrite and marcasite does not appear to be significant problem. Pyrite deposition within the lodes occurs in two stages: I. As primary pyrite particularly associated with the tourmalinite assemblage and 2. In association with marcasite as a product of ...

Copper Flotation. As a commonly used process for copper ore beneficiation, flotation can be used for the separation of copper sulfide and oxidized copper ores. The main process of copper ore flotation is rough as follows: ore crushing and screening → stage grinding stage flotation → concentration and dehydration → copper concentrate.
Gold concentration usually consists of gravity separation, flotation, cyanidation, or the combination of these processes. The choice among these processes depends on the mineralogical characterization and gold content of the ore. Recently, the recovery of gold using gravity methods has gained attention because of low cost and …
In this paper, the results of beneficiation technological studies of sulfide-oxide mixed ore samples from a porphyry-copper deposit are presented. The main valuable ore component is copper with 0. ...
Smelting: After beneficiation, the manganese ore is often smelted to produce ferromanganese or silicomanganese, which are used in the production of steel and other manganese-containing alloys. ... (OH-) or sulfide ions (S2-), resulting in the formation of manganese hydroxide (Mn(OH)2) or manganese sulfide (MnS) precipitates.
Sulfide ores are amendable to mineral beneficiation. Comminution followed by flotation produces an enriched mineral concentrate. Sulfide concentrates are typically treated by …
Complex sulphide ores represent considerable reserves and resources in base non ferrous metals, in precious metals, and in sulphur. Some of their essential characteristics, which allow a general presentation of the complexity of their processing options, from the ore to the pure metals or finished products, have already been presented by the author (1,2).
However, this work is not included in Table 1 as the ore they used was indeed a nickel sulphide, but the authors had classified it as lateritic probably because of its low grade. Table 1. ... Beneficiation studies on alumina-rich Indian iron ore slimes using selective dispersants, flocculants and flotation collectors ...
Sodium carbonate, a commonly used flotation reagent in sulfide ore beneficiation, can chelate and precipitate numerous dissolved metal ions, which avoids ionic coating of silver minerals. In addition, as a pH buffer, it facilitates the flotation of silver minerals in low-alkaline circuits, especially in circuits using dithiophosphates as ...
Application of biotechnology in iron ore beneficiation. S.M. Rea, ... W.J. Bruckard, in Iron Ore, 2015 13.5.1 Commercial bioleaching acidophilic bacteria. Unlike mineral sulfide ores, iron ore does not provide an energy source (e.g., ferrous and sulfur compounds) for the oxidative growth of bioleaching microorganisms; however, iron-reducing bacteria, which …

The collectorless floatability of Enonkoski low grade ore (0.3% Ni) at alkaline and slightly acid pH after grinding in ceramic and steel mills is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The sulphide minerals in nickel ores are easily floatable without a collector in acid pulp due to oxidation and, therefore, their separation is not possible at low pH.
Beneficiation of oxidized/weathered sulfides and mixed sulfide-oxide minerals in the ore makes the flotation even more difficult. In addition to the change in hydrophobic characters, the typical problems associated with these type of ores include poly-metallic occurrence, fine mineral dissemination, low grade, and poor liberation [ 16 ].
Sulfide ore beneficiation is the process of separating and concentrating valuable minerals from other materials in an ore using physical or chemical processes. Flotation is very effective at recovering very fine gold particles that would otherwise be …
Sulfide ore beneficiation process is the physical or chemical treatment of sulfide ores, from which valuable sulfide minerals and waste rocks are separated. Non-valuable minerals are removed as much as possible to …

Starting with ore containing 1.4 g/t of gold, it has been possible to generate a sulphide concentrate with 6.1 g/t of gold by physical beneficiation of the ore through froth flotation. Thiourea ...
Figure 1 shows an example of the most common porphyry copper ore type beneficiation flowsheet. Porphyry ores, although generally contain small amount of copper below 1%, belong to easy-to-float ...
For chrome ores, gravity separation is often used to process denser mineral particles. By using efficient equipment such as chutes, jigs, and shakers, the efficiency of gravity selection can be ...
Extensive research has been carried out on the flotation of copper sulphide ore as compared to copper oxide and mixed type ores. Besides flotation, other beneficiation techniques (selective flocculation and gravity separation) are also discussed in the present review. A few novel pretreatment methods are currently being studied for copper ore ...
In addition, the adsorption of hydrophilic iron hydroxides on sulphide particles increases the depressing effect in flotation. The collectorless floatability of Enonkoski low grade ore (0.3% Ni) at alkaline and slightly acid pH after grinding in ceramic and steel mills is shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4.

Rule investigated an ore containing 1.77% total copper (1.67% and 0.1% as copper oxide and copper sulphide, respectively). Mineralogically, the ore contained 80% of the minerals atacamite and paracamite. The ore sample was ground to 97%, passing 150 μm, and all flotation experiments were performed at pH 8.7.
As a result, the sulphide ore deposits are now oxidised, usually down to a depth of ~100 m (Ngongo, 1975). It has been demonstrated that the Katanga Cu–Co oxidised ore, among other oxidised deposits in the area, is the result of a (Mio-)Pliocene weathering/oxidizing episode (SIMS U–Pb age of the heterogenite is dated at 3.4 ± 0.8 …
Use of NaHS and silver ions has been reported to improve gold recovery at the Los Pelambres mine in Chile (Chryssoulis 2001 ). Sulfide ions appear to act as flotation activators at low concentrations less than 10 −5 M, whereas at concentration above 10 −5 M, it acts as a depressant (Aksoy and Yarar 1989 ).
In this study beneficiation of a sulphide ore from the Gumushane-Black Sea Region of Turkey was investigated. Detailed flotation studies were carried out with the ore sample which contained 2.95% Pb, 6.72% Zn and 0.32% Cu. Mineralogical analyses showed that the sample includes pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, tennantite, cerussite, …
