After the copper ore is crushed, liquid is added to make it a slurry. The slurry is a mix of valuable copper ore minerals and "worthless" rock, called gangue (pronounced "gang"). The slurry is placed in a tank and a process called froth floatation is used to separate the copper minerals from the gangue. Chemical reagents called ...
Ore Concentration by Froth Flotation Remember that only 0.67% of the ore is copper. The copper minerals and waste rock are separated at the mill using froth flotation. The copper ore slurry from the grinding mills is mixed with milk of lime (simply water and ground-up limestone) to give a basic pH, pine oil (yes, it comes from trees -- a by ...
Froth flotation is a method for separating hydrophobic materials (which will not mix with water) from hydrophilic materials (which readily mix with water). Since its discovery, froth flotation has been a major component for the processing of sulfide-rich ores, including copper, coal, and refractory gold. In gold mining, froth flotation is used ...
creating a flotation froth. However, most collectors used in iron ore processing produce adequate froths. The general types of these frothing collectors include long-chain carboxylates, sulfonates or sulfates, and amines as listed in Table 9.1. In practice the most widely used frothers in iron ore flotation are pine oil, aliphatic
Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating of hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste-water treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century.
Fig. 1 shows the rougher flotation in a certain copper flotation site. During the whole flotation process, rougher is the first step of screening after ore is ground, mixed with water and classified. The products from rougher include the rougher froth on top of the cell and the pulp flow at the bottom of the cell.

Froth flotation method for recovering copper, nickel, silver, mercury, bismuth, and lead values from their ores by applying thiourea or any substituted thiourea in conjunction with hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, oxalic, hexacyanoferric (II), thiocyanic, or cyanic acids to obtain pure copper, nickel, silver, mercury, bismuth, and lead concentrates, which comprises; adding to a ...
This method of froth floatation is a method of mineral processing in which different minerals are separated selectively. Such ores containing multiple metals such as lead, copper and zinc can be selectively extracted by using froth floatation. The minerals that do not float into the froth are called the flotation tailings or flotation tails.
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 parallel ...
Froth flotation is part of a copper beneficiation process in which finely ground ore is placed in aerated tanks that contain a water-based solution from which a copper-sulfide-rich froth is recovered ... methods of processing the ore, which include (1) ore-size reduction; (2) …

The percentage of copper in the actual ore is too low for direct extraction of copper to be viable. The concentration of ore is required and it is done by the Froth Flotation method. Concentration of Ore: The ore is crushed into a fine powder and a suspension is created in water. To this are added, Collectors and Froth Stabilizers.
The ore is a sulfide copper ore containing heads of approximately: copper 0.45, iron 3.4, molybdenum 0.006, and zinc 0.06 per ore sample. Prior flotation of this ore has employed, in the floation cell, the addition of pine oil as required to optimize froth, ordinarily resulting in a total pine oil concentration of about 0.24 lb./ton.
Cross section of a ball mill used for the wet grinding of copper ore preparatory to froth flotation. 13.2.1 Ore Beneficiation by Froth Flotation Froth flotation is used to raise the low mineral concentrations in ores to concentrations that can be more economically processed. A concentration of 25–30% is suitable for economical smelting of copper.

As a result, is formed which carries metal sulphide particles. The rises to the surface of water and floats. Therefore, this method is called froth floatation process. This method is used to separate metal sulphide ores such as zinc blende (ZnS) and copper pyrite (CuFeS 2). Froth floatation method
The powdered product of grinding the ore is fed into a series of tanks called flotation cells which are filled with a solution containing various oils capable of forming a froth. Air is pumped into each cell, the solution being agitated to bring froth of bubbles to the surface. In the case of copper minerals, the particles adhere to this froth ...
For successful exploitation of differences in surface properties most ore minerals must be ground finer than 48–65 mesh. A light mineral such as coal (density circa 1.4) can be floated at 10 mesh, provided the bubble system on which it is borne is developed as a quiet layer of froth. Random changes of direction, acceleration, and collision ...
Oxide Copper Flotation. Flotation of oxide copper ores finds its most wide use in the Congo and Rhodesia sections of Africa. Malachite is the copper mineral recovered by Flotation in these areas. Flotation of these ores presents both mechanical and metallurgical problems which, by careful analysis by the metallurgists in charge, have been overcome.

The most effective method of isolating the Cu minerals is froth flotation. This process causes the Cu minerals to become selectively attached to air bubbles rising through a slurry of finely ground ore in water (Fig. 1.4).Selectivity of flotation is created by using reagents, which make Cu minerals water repellent while leaving waste minerals wetted.
