ادامه مطلبDuring the grinding and flotation process, unavoidable copper ions, generated by the dissolution of oxidized chalcopyrite and secondary copper sulfide ore, always increase the floatability of sphalerite by unwanted activation [7]. As a result, the increase of sphalerite in Cu concentrates declines the copper grade and lowers the zinc recovery.

Evidence that this depression was due to collector deficiency because of reaction between copper sulphate and collector is presented.

ادامه مطلبcopper-activated sphalerite is not efficient at lower dosages of zinc sulphate alone. In addition, Trahar et al. (1997) have shown that the use of zinc salts at pH 9 decreased the recovery of galena due to the coating by hydrophilic zinc hydroxide. A study on the deportment of sphalerite in the lead flotation circuit was carried out in the work
ادامه مطلبAbstract:There are some pyrite and secondary copper minerals in a copper-lead-zinc mine. Because of this, sphalerite and pyrite are comparably hard to be depressed in the copper-lead flotation process, which worsened the flotation indexes. Therefore, we have carried out experimental research on the inhibitors of these two minerals.
