Bornitic Ore Copper Flotation Difficulties

Copper activation option for a pentlandite–pyrrhotite–chalcopyrite ore

Two copper ore samples (Ore A and Ore B) having different textural/modal mineralogy and flotation characteristics were taken from different zones of the same ore deposit. Ore B contained framboidal pyrite and altered pyrite/marcasite, which is considered the main reason for the low flotation performance in both copper and pyrite flotation ...

Asghari et al. [27] investigated the improvement of copper recovery in an industrial flotation circuit (Sarcheshmeh copper mine), and stated that about 95% of overall copper lost in final tailing was in the rougher circuit while the rougher flotation recovery of mixed copper ore was 8% less than the sulfide ore.
