The grinding conditions affect significantly the subsequent flotation stage of this sulphide copper ore. The presence of iron ions in the slurry is deleterious to the flotation of copper minerals and may be avoided by the utilisation of lined mills and non-ferrous or corrosion resistant grinding media, such as stainless steel or pebbles.

A Copper Flotation Flowsheet. Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial. The flowsheet in this study illustrates a typical 3,000 ton per day operation. In general most operations of this type have two or more …
2. Grinding process. The copper ore processed into granules is screened by a vibrating sieve and sent to a ball mill for grinding and crushing. Here also need to use an auxiliary equipment – classifier. It …
Effect of microwave pretreatment on grinding and flotation kinetics of copper complex ore. The present study initially investigates the kinetics of microwave-assisted grinding and flotation in a porphyry copper deposit. Kinetic tests were conducted on untreated and microwave-irradiated samples by varying the exposure time from 15 to …
The present study initially investigates the kinetics of microwave-assisted grinding and flotation in a porphyry copper deposit. Kinetic tests were conducted on untreated and microwave-irradiated samples by varying the exposure time from 15 to 150 s. Optical microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning electron …
The main aim of laboratory tests was to find a relation between lithology of tested samples of ore and grinding media wear. Wear tests were performed in a laboratory mill filled with ball grinding media. Wet grinding was performed, which is typical for copper ore milling. Details of equipment used and tests data are presented Table 3.
The present work initially studies the kinetics of microwave-assisted grinding and flotation in a porphyry copper deposit. The kinetics tests were carried out on the untreated and microwave ...
The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of microwave treatment on copper sulfide ore for ball milling and bed breakage. Liberation analysis of ground products in eight size fractions showed that microwave pretreatment liberated more chalcopyrite particles from the bed breakage product than the ball mill product. In bed breakage, microwave …
The normal capacity of Deziwa copper-cobalt Mine is 15 kt/d and the maximum capacity is 18 kt/d with a 1.2 factor. The design grinding product particle size with cyclone overflow is 70% passing −0.074 mm. Based on the above grinding process parameters and ore characteristics, equipment is sized for the SABC and HPGR+BM processes.
This study can provide a surface chemical basis for controlling the grinding process of copper-lead sulfide ore. View. Show abstract. Show more. Salobo Copper Ore Process Development.
But with any ore, check at the auction house before you smelt. Most auction houses are located near forges, so you can easily smelt if you determine the prices are better. One possible exception may be Bronze Bars (1 Copper Ore=1 Copper Bar; 1 Tin Ore=1 Tin Bar; 1 Copper Bar + 1 Tin Bar = 2 Bronze Bars).
The extraction of copper from ore is normally carried out in three major steps. The first step, mineral processing, is to liberate the copper minerals and remove waste … See more
Copper Flotation. As a commonly used process for copper ore beneficiation, flotation can be used for the separation of copper sulfide and oxidized copper ores. The main process of copper ore flotation is rough as follows: ore crushing and screening → stage grinding stage flotation → concentration and dehydration → copper concentrate.
Although the operation was not optimized in terms of concentrate grade, 87.1% of the copper was recovered as a 58.4% Cu concentrate in test C and 87.2% of the copper was recovered as a 60.7% Cu concentrate in test D. The ore is quite hard and abrasive. The average rod wear was 1.73 lb./ST and the average ball wear was 1.37 lb./ST.
