The formation of soluble species from a bornite flotation concentrate pre-treated with hydrochloric acid was studied. Copper recovery after leaching in H2SO4-NaCl solution determined. influence concentration and ore particle size were evaluated. Chemical morphological characterization the samples before carried out by XRD SEM to evaluate changes bornite. It revealed that increasing during pre-t...

separation method that is widely used in coal beneficiation for the separation of fine coal particles from associated minerals in water slurries. Since the cumulative recovery of a component in the concentrate is proportional to flotation time, the flotation process can be considered as a time-rate recovery process (Emad, Mohammad, and Bahram, 2010). Therefore, the general mathematical flotatio...

Abstract Deinked pulp flotation column has been applied in wastepaper recycling. Bubble size in deinked pulp flotation column is very important during the flotation process. In this paper, bubble images of deinked pulp flotation column were first caught by digital camera, and then the bubbles were detected by using a detection algorithm based on sparse and redundant image processing. The result...

Waste copper slag is a typical hazardous solid waste containing variety of valuable elements and has not been effectively disposed so far. In this paper, stepwise extraction process was proposed to recover (copper, iron, lead zinc) from slag. The specific procedures are as follows: (1) A flotation adopted enrich copper, when the grade in concentrate 21.50%, recovery rate 77.78%. (2) tailings we...

Copper smelting slag usually contains 1–6 wt% copper, which can be recovered by pyrometallurgical and flotation processes. However, the tailing slags still consist of 0.3–0.7 Cu 35–45 Fe equivalents to those in copper iron ores, respectively. Most research was focused on recovery from slags. increase mechanical strength, corrosion resistance antibacterial property some steels. A new process rec...

The enrichment of polymetallic sulfide ore is a complex task. Fine grinding carried out to reveal useful minerals, resulting in the formation microparticles. It difficult achieve floatation microparticles and fine minerals are lost with flotation tailings. problem microparticle can be solved by using air bubbles smaller than 50 µmin for process. Water-air microemulsion (WAME)of frothersolution ...

It is possible to obtain good performance from a flotation plant but it has proved difficult to maintain such performance. Recovery rates on a flotation plant can be around 90% and often lower, making flotation one of the least efficient processes in the concentration path. Hence, over the last few decades much research and development has gone into the stabilization and optimization of flotati...

In this paper, we build an air conveyor with newly developed vortex bearing elements, and study the flotation precision of the front-end of the substrate in quasi-static flotation transport. We experimentally discuss the three influential factors: air supply pressure, thickness of the substrates and installing direction of the vortex bearing element. We find that during the process of transport...
