The gradual decrease of global copper resources is among the most urgent challenges for the mining industry. Sustainable utilization of copper sulphide flotation concentrate from iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits is often constrained by the impurity elements (e.g. U, Th and F) and high levels of gangue minerals (e.g. iron oxide/hematite, U-bearing minerals and fluorite).

Sulfide ore beneficiation is a major challenge for the mining industry. Recovery of valuable minerals such as copper, lead-zinc or nickel from sulfide-bearing ores requires complex and costly processes with a wide range of potential risks. These challenges can include the presence of harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide, as well as sulfuric …
1. Introduction. Natural occurrence of carbonaceous material along with complex base metal sulphide ores as well as association with gold-ore deposits in the earth's crust has long been recognized (Pugh, 1989, Afenya, 1991, Allan and Woodcock, 2001).At Century Mine, Mount Isa and McArthur River in Australia, the sphalerite, galena and copper sulphide …

It has long been established that copper sulfide processing follows a logical progression – crush, grind, float, regrind and refloat to produce a final copper concentrate.
The role of ore mineralogy on the flotation performance of copper-cobalt sulphides was studied by tracking the changes in mineral properties with time throughout the flotation process.
Conversely, Te-bearing minerals locked in pyrite are typically found in tailings, as pyrite is depressed during the flotation of copper sulfide minerals. Mineral ... This suggests that recovering the Bi present in copper anodes could significantly contribute to meeting global demand and benefit for copper producers. However, the economic ...

"Mild oxidation" could lead to enhanced hydrophobicity of the copper sulphide minerals owing to surfaces rich in intrinsically hydrophobic species such as elemental sulphur and polysulphides (Heyes and Trahar, 1977). This constitutes the well-known collectorless flotation phenomenon of copper sulphides such as chalcopyrite.
Flotation of sulphidic and oxidic copper minerals is reviewed, with particular reference to previous studies of refractory copper ore flotation.
