Copper Recovery Through Smelter Slag Flotation in Atacama, Chile: An Industrial Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Copper slag flotation was studied on an industrial scale at a concentrator plant in the region of Atacama, Chile. This study consisted physical, chemical, and mineralogical characterization copper slag, along with preliminary tests. article focuses flotation, which two oneyear campaigns (2016 2017). The first campaign carried out using existing circuit plant. During second (2017), for sulfide ore additional columnar cleaning stage evaluated. Results showed improvement metallurgical parameters (including improvements processing capacity, concentrate grade, recovery). From campaigns, it concluded that is possible to obtain commercialquality concentrate, suitable further smelter. mitigates certain environmental impacts processing.

Recovery of Copper from Copper Slag and Copper Slag Flotation Tailings by Oxidative Leaching
Copper smelter slag and copper smelter slag flotation tailings were leached using sulphuric acid solutions, without or with the addition of either ferric sulphate or hydrogen peroxide. Copper extraction from the slag was typically found to be twice as high as that from the slag flotation tailings. Hydrogen peroxide was determined to be the best lixiviant. Thus, copper and iron extractions were ...
متن کاملImpact of copper mines and smelter on groundwater quality (Case Study: Rajasthan State in India)
Rajasthan is one of the main mineral potential state of India. During the last 30 years it has witnessed enormous expansion of mining industries, but mining of most of the minor minerals coupled with changing climate has posed serious problems to the environmental fabric in the state, apart from base metal beneficiation plants. Groundwater is also being polluted day-by-day by effluents generate...

متن کاملCopper recovery from thickener overflow by electrocoagulation/flotation: optimization of response surface, modeling, and sludge study
The electrocoagulation/flotation process is a novel approach in mining industry that is implemented to return Cu metal to the production cycle, which improves copper recovery and reduces waste water. In this research work, the response surface methodology was applied to optimize the factors effective in Cu metal recovery and sludge volume produced from thickener overflow. To this end, the D-opt...
متن کاملThe Recovery of Soluble Copper from an Industrial Chemical Waste
A novel electrochemical device was used to recover copper metal from an inorganic chemicals process effluent. In a sidestream pilot-plant demonstration, the copper content was continuously reduced from an average of 20 mg/l to less than 2 mg/l. The basic concepts, laboratory testing, and pilot-plant demonstration are described. General Future water-pollution regulations may require effluent con...
