ABSTRACT The key to successful flotation plant design, production planning and mine/ mill optimisation is a solid understanding of the resource to be processed. As advocated by the authors of this paper, the main components of geometallurgical modelling of an orebody and its associated flotation plant are:
Flotation Tests The slag was crushed in a jaw crusher and ground in a ball mill and then sieved. N-ethyl-O-isopropyl thiocarbamate (Z-200), ethyl xanthate, butyl xanthate, iso-pentyl xanthate and butylamine dithiophosphate were used as collectors; terpineol oil as frother; sulphuric acid, lime, sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate as pH regulator. Only the direct one-stage of single …
Abstract - Teniente smelting technology produce high copper concentration slag, which are treated to reduce the quantity of copper in the slag. The slag concentration in this slag is higher than some copper mineral weight percent. At the same time, seawater is an alternative for froth flotation, given the current prevailing water crisis. The present paper study of froth flotation of …

ABSTRACT Precise control of SAG mill loading and flotation cell level is critical to maximize production and recovery in mineral concentrators. While expert systems are commonly used to optimize these process operations, the underlying regulatory control is often implemented using traditional proportional-integral derivative (PID) controllers or rule-based schemes in the expert …
20101110· A similar trend of decreasing recovery was also observed with regrinding in the tumbling mill (i.e., Magotteaux Mill ®). Changes in mineral flotation behaviour were investigated with respect to (i) particle size, (ii) increase in surface area, and (iii) surface contamination with size reduction in the two different mills.
81· Stanojlović and Sokolović [85] studied the effects of the addition of old flotation tailings to study the flotation kinetics of copper slag. The Cu recovery of the composite feed was increased by 15–20% compared to the pure slag flotation system.

Copper slag flotation was studied on an industrial scale at a concentrator plant in the region of Atacama, Chile. This study consisted of the physical, chemical, and mineralogical characterization of the copper slag, along with preliminary flotation tests. This article focuses on industrial flotation, which consisted of two oneyear campaigns (2016 and 2017). The first campaign was carried …

Managing the impact of grinding on flotation performance is the third crucial factor in plant design. Even if you can accept the low power efficiency of a mill with steel balls, you may not be able to deal with its impact of surface chemistry. Consuming so much power in a steel environment means high retention time and lots of steel contamination.
2025517· Why Flotation is Superior for Slag While gravity and magnetic methods are effective for coarse particles and ferromagnetic materials, flotation shines in recovering ultrafine, oxidized, and chemically altered particles, which are common in slag. In many cases, flotation can extract metal values that represent 1–3% of slag mass—yet up to 60–80% of its economic value.
71· The impact of grinding environment on flotation has been investigated for different ores. In the flotation of platinum-group minerals (PGMs) from the Overysel ore (Bushveld complex in South Africa), dry grinding produced more fine particles, led to a higher degree of liberation for the PGMs but lower recoveries than wet grinding [11].
