 — Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper. The ores typically contain low percentages of copper and have to be concentrated before refining (e.g., via froth flotation).

Flotation of Chalcocite (Cu 2 S) Chalcocite (Cu 2 S) and chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) are the two most commonly floated copper sulphide minerals. Bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4) and covellite (CuS) and energite (Cu 3 AsS 4) are normally present in lesser quantities. The complete flotation of chalcocite is achieved between ph = 1 to ph = 10 with ethyl xanthate.
