Chalcopyrite and galena are primary raw materials for producing Cu and Pb metals,
respectively. Flotation is still the main method to recover these two minerals. So far, lots of …

In this work, catalytic activity of natural chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) was improved by thermal
activation. The modified chalcopyrite was used as efficient catalyst for degradation of …

In this study, fenugreek gum (FG), an organic polysaccharide possesses excellent water
solubility, was introduced as a novel inhibitor for the selective flotation separation of …

Inorganic depressants are commonly used in the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from
pyrite, but they adversely affect the environment. The use of degradable and …

The flotation separation of molybdenite and chalcopyrite is very difficultly due to their
excellent natural floatability. Thermally pretreat minerals under 250° C before flotation was …

Micaceous minerals are commonly found in phosphate ores, representing a challenge to
selectively recover apatite. Aiming at identifying new flotation reagents for the separation of …

The impact of sulfuric acid pretreatment on the surface property of oxidized pyrrhotite (OX-
pyrrhotite) and its application in flotation desulphurization of magnetite concentrate were …

Utilization of large doses of inorganic reagents in mineral industry not only leads to high cost
but also increases the toxicity in the environment. This research provides a new …

Current practice is for pyrrhotite to be rejected from conventional nickel sulphide processing
circuits due to its low concentration of nickel and high sulphur content. However, the nickel …

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 …
