Because cyanide cannot always leach sulphide-associated gold, regrinding the ore is typically required to expose the free gold for recovery by intensive leaching. Critically, the size at which one can efficiently liberate gold from the host mineral of the particle will determine the process to use for optimal gold recovery. Sulphide Gold ...

Key words: flotation, sulphide minerals, activation, EDTA INTRODUCTION Oxidation of sulphide minerals is inevitable during processing in plant conditions. Every sulphide mineral is influenced at different degrees of oxidation by its chemical composition, crystal structure and most important its electrochemical reactivity (Ekmekçi et al. 2003).

Mineral processing of the Mantoverde Sulphide Development Project. The Mantoverde Sulphide Development Project is estimated to produce approximately 74,000t of copper concentrate a year.

Lime (calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide) is arguably the most common reagent used in the extractive minerals processing industry. As an effective and economic pH modifier, lime is widely used in the process of selective flotation of the major sulphide minerals.

Sulphide minerals, as pyrite, FeS2, chalcopyri te and CuFeS2, are one of the most important sources of value metals, such as gold, silver, coppe r, zinc, etc. Due to the strong sulfur binding

Pyrolysis reactions of sulphides Heating sulphides under an inert atmosphere, i.e. nitrogen or argon, can bring about two processes Phase transformations, such as an ~ +-~/3 phase transition. Chalcocite (Cu2S), for example, under- goes a change in crystal structure from rhombohe- dral to hexagonal between 100and 120 [4].

Flotation has been at the heart of the mineral processing industry for over 100 years, addressing the 'sulphide' problem of the early 1900s, and continues to provide one of the most important ...

Understanding the correlation between the location of RN and specific mineral species, and how these distributions evolve during successive stages of processing, can drive innovation in Cu-(Fe)-sulphide minerals processing to remove unwanted RN species from concentrates, and if necessary, from tailings, smelter outputs, or final saleable products.

mineral processing. INTRODUCTION . Sulphide reagents are widely . used in mineral processing and hydrometallurgical operations. The use of sodium hydrosulphide, NaHS, to provide conditions in which molybdenum sulphide can be separated from copper sulphides is common practice in flotation. The same reagent is also sometimes used in water treatment

The flotation of sulphide minerals is extensive worldwide (copper, lead, zinc, nickel), and in terms of tonnage, they represent the largest mineral group processed by froth flotation. Alkyl xanthates are by far the largest volume reagents used and they form the so-called 'workhorse' of sulphide collectors.

This paper presents both the fundamentals of sulphide mineral flotation and the practical aspects of sulphide ore flotation. The fundamental aspects of the flotation of sulphide minerals both in the absence and presence of thiol collectors are discussed in relation to their crystal structure, surface chemistry and electrochemical characteristics.

Copper processing is a complied process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called hodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy

The sulphide minerals are compounds of the metals with sulphur. Nearly all these minerals have a metallic luster, i.e., the peculiar shining appearance of metals, such as gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, iron, etc. They are all heavy minerals and nearly all are of economic importance. Iron Pyrites or Pyrite FeS2.

Mineral processing is a process in which valuable minerals are separated from worthless material or other valuable minerals by inducing them to gather in and on the surface of a froth layer. Sulphide and non-sulphide minerals as well as native metals are recovered.

Sulphide minerals, as pyrite, FeS2, chalcopyrite and CuFeS2, are one of the most important sources of value metals, such as gold, silver, coppe r, zinc, etc. Due to the strong sulfur binding to these minerals, metals are usually extracted by metallurgical process of chemical oxidation.
