Comparative Cleaning Stages in Recovery of Copper and Cobalt from Tailings using Potassium Amylxanthate as Collector

Copper and cobalt demand is projected to be increased from here 2050 the challenge find treat economically minerals which contains those metals. Several tailings oxide ores throughout word contain good grades of copper that should recovered by froth flotation. This paper investigates recovery through reprocessing spiral classifier determination specific reagents dosage. The flotation behaviours malachite heterogenite were studied many roughing cleaning tests in order most cobalt. effect was varied others parameters kept constant. highest recoveries both rougher concentrate respectively 82.51% 72.51% with 12.52% 0.99% respectively. However, cleaner 24.54 Cu% 1.38% Co 69.26 % 40.7% It concluded benefit because it recovers desired metal reduces risk their presence on environment through.
