 — Combined reagents have a better selective separation of ilmenite than single reagents due to their synergistic effect. Combining the lead ion (Pb2+) and the benzyl hydroxamic acid (BHA) into a Pb—BHA complex has a marked effect on ilmenite flotation, which puts forward a new idea of developing combined reagents for ilmenite flotation.

 — ZJ 201 (modified starch) is a non-toxic, odorless, and biodegradable polymeric depressant, which selectively depressed galena in batch flotation tests while chalcopyrite was not significantly affected. In a plant trial, copper-lead separation was successful for the first time without using dichromate. Moreover, the plant process could …

 — To reduce the environmental impact caused by highly toxic dichromate in flotation separation of copper-lead sulfide, the replacement of dichromate with depressants mixture (humic substance and hydrogen peroxide) was investigated in this paper. The single mineral flotation and the mixed binary minerals experiment at pH 6.5 showed that …

 — Compared with the direct flotation process, the combined maglev process can significantly reduce the difficulty of copper lead separation and improve the separation efficiency, which provides a …

 — A complex copper/lead—zinc ore from the Raura plant (Peru) that contains secondary copper minerals was studied with respect to improving copper/lead separation from the copper/lead bulk concentrate.

 — Lead, zinc, and iron flotation kinetic rates in the lead flotation stage at pH values of 6 and 8 were shown in Fig. 10. As it can be seen, there is a sharp increase in the lead recovery in the ...

 — The bulk flotation of copper-lead sulfide ore in the first stage is easy because both chalcopyrite and galena have better natural floatability than other sulfide ores, and this is also an important reason for saving reagents. However, the difficulties of copper-lead mixed flotation are related to the separation of copper lead mixed concentrate.

Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces …

 — Furthermore, artificial-mixing experiments confirmed the separation effect of DMTD as a chalcopyrite depressant. Notably, this study avoids environmental pollution caused by traditional depressants, offering a potential green approach to achieve effective flotation separation of copper–lead sulfide ore.

Which flotation scheme used in the differential copper-lead bulk concentrate separation is generally and often dependent upon which mineral has the greater mass in the bulk concentrate. Whichever mineral constitutes the lower bulk concentrate mass will be floated away from the other mineral which is depressed for flotation selectivity reasons.

 — The copper concentrate from a copper lead zinc flotation circuit. Froth flotation, as pointed out previously, was a part of the evolution of milling during the first quarter of the 20th century—a period during …

The floatation process can separate a desired mineral such as copper, nickel, molybdenum, or zinc from ore. Floatation can separate the desired mineral from waste materials or …

 — The chromate or dichromate is effective and widely used in depressing galena in the flotation separation of copper-lead sulfide ores. However, dichromate is known to be carcinogenic to humans and carries a high risk of environmental pollution (Hu et al., 2020). It is more and more imperative to develop chromium-free depressants for the ...

The mixed concentrate containing Cu 11.57% and Pb 16.75% was preoxidized under the above conditions,

 — With respect to the flotation of copper–lead–zinc sulfide ores, copper–lead mixed flotation is the most common method used to obtain a copper–lead concentrate [5]. Therefore, the separation of chalcopyrite and galena from a mixed concentrate is necessary. Depressants are a good choice to prevent galena from floating [6].

 — In general terms, the most common treatment methods include (a) sequential copper/lead/zinc flotation, and (b) bulk copper/lead flotation followed by copper/lead separation and zinc flotation. Another method known to be used in industrial practice is bulk copper/lead/zinc flotation, followed by separation of the individual minerals.

 — Therefore, in all the experiments of copper-lead separation flotation and gold-lead separation flotation, the separation efficiency of the intermediate size fractions is the highest. A lower SE value of gold-lead for the coarse size fraction may be due to insufficient liberation of gold from galena or other gangue minerals.
