Copper is extracted from copper pyrites by froth flotation process. Froth flotation method is used to separate particles based on the differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively attach to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral-water slurry. A finely crushed ore is suspended in water and a blast of air is passed through the suspension.

The tails produced in the first differential flotation step is followed by a pyrite and pyrrhotite flotation stage using xanthate and MBT, leaving the cobalt minerals in the flotation cell tails. The cobalt minerals are then floated by using sulphuric acid to decrease the pulp pH to 4. Sodium sulphide is conditioned in the pulp.

1.Introduction. Copper, one of the most nonferrous metals, is widely used in electrical and chemical engineering, construction, and military industries (Cai et al., 2021, Zhang et al., 2020).It mainly originates from the smelting and refining of copper sulfide ore, especially chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2).Because of the low copper grade in primary copper-bearing ores, flotation is required to enrich ...

15.1.1 Hydrothermal Vein Deposits The copper lead-zinc vein deposits are usually characterized by coarse-grained banded to massive aggregates of pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The bulk mineralogy is quite similar to that of strata-bound sulfide deposits, except that galena tends to be much more abundant in the vein deposit.

Figure 1 shows that pyrite exhibits good flotation performance at pH range of 4 to 9 when in the absence of CuSO 4, and as much as 80% of the pyrite can be floated. But at a pH range of 9 to 12, pyrite is depressed and the recovery decreases significantly with the increase in pH.

Sodium silicate was somewhat effective in causing a differential or selective flotation of copper, as chalcopyrite from pyrite by keeping pyrite from floating. Sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide gave, in most cases, a distinct separation of sphalerite from chalcopyrite; i.e., a high copper and low zinc by suppressing the flotation of sphalerite.

Copper xanthate was formed on copper (II) activated pyrite. Activation mechanism of pyrite by copper (II) salts is likely to be electrochemical where copper occurs as copper (I) on the surface of pyrite. Effective depression is achieved by sulfur dioxide and sodium cyanide. Depression at high pH is due to formation of iron (III) hydroxides.

AEROPHINE Ⓡ promoters are the flotation reagents of choice when treating Cu/Zn, Cu/Pb/Zn and especially Cu/Au/Ag/Pb/Zn ores. These ore types frequently have very high levels of pyrite and other iron sulphides. AEROPHINE Ⓡ promoters are highly recommended over xanthates when selectivity against iron sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite) is required.

In copper-gold flotation plants, pyrite which is depressed in copper flotation is often floated subsequently with the addition of sodium sulfide (NaS) to recover the associated gold. For the first time, this study investigated the role of NaS responsible for the flotation of pyrite depressed in chalcopyrite flotation through flotation tests and Cyro-XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) analyses.

Copper pyrite is copper iron sulphide with the chemical formula CuFeS 2. Copper metal may be obtained from copper pyrite by extraction. Copper iron sulfide (CuFeS 2) is first concentrated using froth flotation. Then it is roasted in a reverberatory furnace, which means that it is heated in an environment with an abundance of oxygen.

Reduction of copper(II) to copper(I) and the formation of new copper sulphide phases are responsible for the activation of pyrite flotation by Cu(2+). This is an electrochemical process. However, adsorption of lead hydroxide on pyrite surface is principally responsible for the activation of pyrite flotation by Pb(2+).
