Fig. 2 shows the P 80 of different mineral species in an ore for a major copper operation. These values vary significantly, with the P 80 of total solids, sulfide minerals, iron minerals, copper minerals and molybdenum are ∼ 200, 105, 125, 94 and 85, respectively. Flotation optimization of complex ores often requires a better …
A large porphyry copper flotation plant has been simulated using a flotation model developed from first principles using the hydrophobic force as a kinetic parameter (Huang et al., 2022, Gupta et al., 2022).The input to the simulation was the size-by-class liberation matrix (m ij) of a flotation feed, which was essential for predicting the size-by …
In Hanönü copper mine the plant, the ore was ground to below approximately 20 μm and the chalcopyrite was floated in Outotec Floatforce tank cells of 50 m 3 in the rougher flotation circuit and tank cells of 20 m 3 and 10 m 3 in the cleaning circuits. KAX as a collector and OREPREP F-549 as a frother were used in the plant and pH was ...
This explains why, in order to smelt 4 million tons of new copper in 1963, nearly 400 million tons of ore had to be handled and treated in various ways. Flotation depends on the fact that the grains of some minerals, and especially of metals, differ in the degree to which their surfaces can be wetted by a suitable solution.

1. Introduction. With the continuously high demand for energy and metals around the world, high-grade ore deposits are sharply depleted (Peng and Bhambhani, 2021).This forces the industry to transition into the processing of complex and lower grade ores (Mudd, 2010).As ore grades decline, more challenges arise in mineral processing …
