Copper sulfides are the primary source of metallic copper, which makes up 80% of the copper resources [8]. The major copper sulfide ores include chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2), bornite (Cu 5FeS 4), covellite (CuS), and chalcocite (Cu 2S). The copper concentrates from sulfide ores are usually produced by flotation and then processed by pyrometallurgical

Only the flotation process mentioned above could make this practicable; and even so, it requires large companies with huge plants, continuous working and immense capital. This explains why, in order to smelt 4 million tons of new copper in 1963, nearly 400 million tons of ore had to be handled and treated in various ways. Flotation depends on ...

Flotation is a common mineral processing method used to upgrade copper sulfide ores; in this method, copper sulfide mineral particles are concentrated in froth, and associated gangue minerals are separated as tailings. However, a significant amount of copper is lost into tailings during the processing; therefore, tailings can be considered secondary …

The higher association of gold with pyrite rather than chalcopyrite is a challenge in copper–gold flotation circuits, since pyrite is widely recognised as a gangue mineral in copper ores. Understanding the mineralogy, liberation and association of gold as well as the associated gangue minerals in a flotation feed is crucial to optimise gold ...

Porphyry copper deposits are important sources of copper and typically processed by flotation to produce copper concentrates. As mining areas become deeper, the amounts of impurities, such as sphalerite, can be increased in copper ores, so the appropriate depression of sphalerite floatability should be achieved to obtain saleable copper …
