There are several flow sheets (listed in Fig. 1 a and b) used in the flotation recovery of copper and molybdenum from their porphyry sulfide ores. Fig. 1 a is a typical flow sheet that consists of two stages (Raghavan and Hsu, 1984, Bulatovic, 2007, Liu et al., 2011).The first stage, commonly known as the copper circuit, produces a bulk copper …

28 million t of porphyry copper ore per year, where the initial content of copper in the ores is 0.4%. The rougher flotation feed is the tertiary grinding overflow of 80% passing –65 μm. The flotation circuit includes rougher and scavenger flotations, regrinding and size distribution of the concentrate to an overflow of 80%

Minera ndida, located in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile, is the world's largest producer of copper as concentrate and SX-EW cathode. Projects to increase mill and flotation capacity began soon after start-up in 1990 to off-set decreasing copper grade. Subsequent projects had the objective to increase copper production through …

To recover copper and molybdenum from their porphyry sulfide ores, several process flowsheets are applied, and two of them are shown in Fig. 1.[23, 24] As illustrated in Fig. 1 (a), [23, 25] the two-stage flotation flowsheet is the most widely adopted.In the first stage, copper and molybdenum sulfide concentrates are recovered …

Porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) are some of the most important sources of copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo). Typically, the separation and recovery of chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) and molybdenite (MoS2), the major Cu and Mo minerals, respectively, in PCDs are achieved by two-step flotation involving (1) bulk flotation to separate Cu–Mo concentrates and …

Fig. 1b has also been adopted by Dexing copper mine. While in the rougher flotation step, a selective collector thionocarbamate is used for preconcentration of copper and molybdenum from porphyry copper ores, which can reduce the influence of lime on the floatability of molybdenite and obtain relatively high overall recovery of molybdenite.

The dominant challenge of current copper beneficiation plants is the low recoverability of oxide copper-bearing minerals associated with sulfide type ones. Furthermore, applying commonly used conventional methodologies does not allow the interactional effects of critical parameters in the flotation processes to be investigated, …
