 — Globally, copper, silver, and gold orebody grades have been dropping, and the mineralogy surrounding them has become more diversified and complex. The cyanidation process for gold production has remained dominant for over 130 years because of its selectivity and feasibility in the mining industry. For this reason, the industry has …

 — The flotation of oxide copper ore containing chrysocolla and quartz with 2.13% Cu was studied by Nagaraj and Somasundaran . By using the collector emulsion containing 0.034 kg/t Tergitol and 0.5 kg/t LIX65N in hexane (3.0 kg/t), a concentrate was obtained within 4 min. of flotation and two stages of cleaning. The ...
