Froth flotation is a commonly used method for efficient separation of different minerals from finely grinded sulfide ore. The mineral level information is an important tool for the optimization of flotation process parameters as it is uneconomical to make mineral products with unacceptably low concentrations and to lose a share of the valuable ...
1.1 Definition and Function of Ore Types. The fate of any rock in a mine is predetermined before the shovel touches it. It has already been classified as a particular ore type, a numerical tag that describes what path it will be routed on: waste, mill, leach, stockpile, etc.The ore type serves as a guide to what operations will be performed, how …
Sulphide, oxide, and mixed ore are fed to separate mineral processing circuits tailored for recovery of the dominant copper minerals in each. After comminution to a target grind size of 80% passing 150 um, each ore type is subjected to flotation to recover the copper sulphide minerals (chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, covellite).
Properties of gold sulfide ore Gold sulfide ore is a rock gold ore with a chemical formula of Au 2 S. It is the principal sulfide of gold (usually pyrite) and decomposes to gold metal and elemental sulfur, illustrating the "nobility" of gold. In nature, the covalent radii of gold sulfide and silver are similar, and the two will form a solid ...
WebSulfide minerals are compounds in which sulfur is combined as an anion with a metal (or semi-metal) cation or cations. The definition is commonly widened to include minerals in which the anion is As or Sb, …
(a) Which metal is extracted from calamine ore? (b) Name one ore of mercury. Which mercury compound is present in this ore? Write its chemical formula. (c) How is copper extracted from its sulphide ore (copper glance), Cu 2 S? Explain with equations of the reactions involved. (d) What is an alloy? Give two examples of alloys.
Pyrite, the most widespread and abundant of sulphide minerals in the Earth's surficial rocks, commonly constitutes the primary opaque phase in ore deposits. Consequently, an understanding of the behaviour of pyrite and its relationships with coexisting phases during the metamorphism of pyritebearing rocks is vital to the …
The volcanogenic massive sulfide ore type is the most exploited type in Fennoscandia Shield. The ore of Pyhäsalmi contains copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and sulfur (S). In general, the mineral composition of ore deposits varies in terms of changing ore minerals, their quantitative ratios, and even as variation in mineral forms. Thus, the ...

Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, 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 and …
corresponds to sulphide ores, which also consume the largest amount of reagents.2 Today, froth flotation of sulphide ores constitutes the single most important operation for the concentration of sulphide minerals. Current flotation practice often involves the separation of three or four sulphides from the same ore.
The ore sample investigated was the Ni-Cu sulphide ore from Voisey's Bay, which indicated an excellent pentlandite-pyrrhotite selectivity with the combined use of SMBS and TETA. However, under the conditions of highly efficient pentlandite-pyrrhotite separation, the flotation of chalcopyrite was noted to be slowed down.

Sulfide minerals often form in common associations. Pyrite, sphalerite, and pyrrhotite are frequently found together, as are chalcopyrite, pyrite, and bornite or pyrrhotite. In some carbonate-hosted deposits, sphalerite and galena occur together. We can depict sulfide associations using triangular composition diagrams.
