Flotation of non-sulfide copper minerals is rare because these ores are mostly subjected to hydrometallurgical copper recovery, for example, heap leaching. In Zambia and Zaire, however, siliceous copper oxide ores are floated with fatty acid collectors, and dolomitic copper oxide ores are sulfidized with sodium hydrogensulfide and then floated ...
Copper Flotation Mineral Processing Metallurgy. Copper Flotation Process Summary The flowsheet in this study illustrates the modern approach to porphyry copper treatment throughout the industry Each plant will through necessity have somewhat different arrangements or methods for accomplishing the same thing and reliable ore test data are used in most every case to plan the flowsheet and
Flotation flowsheet of copper, lead, zinc and other Polymetallic Sulphide Ores. Direct preferential flotation process. Flotation processes of various useful minerals are sequentially floatation, which is called preferential flotation process. The characteristics of the process can be adapted to the change of ore grade and has higher flexibility.

The choice of the process flowsheet for copper ore is greatly influenced by the industrial type of the deposit and the oxidation state of the ore. The flotation process is widely used for sulfide ores, but flotation and hydrometallurgy processes are used for oxide and mixed ores.
RECOVERY OF COPPER FROM OXIDE COPPER ORE BY FLOTATION AND LEACHING Kiraz, Emirhan M.S., Department of Mining Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Mustafa Ümit Atalay December 2014, 65 pages The aim of this study was the recovery of copper from the oxide copper ore by froth flotation and agitating sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4) leaching.
FLOWSHEET DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF COPPER EXTRACTION Each process unit must pay its way High level costs can be obtained by the O'Hara method e.g. for a low-grade copper ore the process capital cost in 1992 dollars is US$ 13,700 T0.6 includes flotation, thickening and filtration. Cost Estimation Handbook for the ...
