Low (40%) and high (60%) solid weight percentages are resulted in ineffective comminution, producing a coarse grain product. As a result, fractal dimensions and recovery are decreased.
For each test, 1000 g of the porphyry copper ore was wet ground using a ball mill to 65 wt% passing 200 mesh. The slurry was transferred into the flotation cell while agitating at approximately 2000 rpm for 2 min. Flotation tests were performed in a 3L XFD Ⅳ flotation cell. The flotation flowsheet and corresponding conditions are shown in Fig. 2.
The copper ore sample was obtained from Northparkes Copper & Gold Mine, Australia. This ore was chosen due to its relatively unproblematic flotation characteristics. Such an ore provides a formidable baseline for the identification of the deleterious effects of clays. The chemical assays of the ore sample contains 0.5% Cu, 3.8% Fe, and 0.3% S.
During the last 15 years the increase in the total dissolved solid content of the process water in Las Luces was from approximately 36.0 g/L (seawater) to 46.4 g/L (Moreno et al., 2011). Another large copper plant using seawater in Chile is the Esperanza Concentrator at Sierra Gorda (Antofagasta Minerals S.A AMSA).
The actual ore for flotation comes from Yunnan Province, China. The results of the multi-element chemical analysis of the ore were shown in Table 1, with a Cu content of 0.60%. The high content of SiO 2 and MgO is due to the presence of …
A tower-like magnetic system comprising eight permanent magnets was installed at the center of a flotation column to separate chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite minerals. A cyclonic flotation was installed within the underpart of the column to separate the pyrrhotite from the gangues. A three-product magnetic flotation column was fabricated to create a magnetic …

With the continuous depletion of high-quality copper and molybdenum resources in traditional low-altitude areas, attention is gradually shifting to copper-molybdenum ores in high-altitude areas. Where the ore types are mostly primary, the valuable metals are mainly concentrated in chalcopyrite and molybdenite, which are recovered using flotation.
(2) Percentage of solid content represents the percentage of solid mass (or volume) in the pulp. It is widely used in the mineral tests and production. The effect of the pulp mass fraction on flotation: (1) Recovery rate. When the pulp mass fraction is low, the recovery rate is low; when the pulp mass fraction increases, the recovery rate ...
