Improving Fine Sulfide Mineral Recovery - Plant Evaluation of a New Technology
A full-scale statistically-based on/off plant trial of a new flotation conditioning technology designed to improve fine mineral recovery was undertaken to determine whether the recovery of selected fine sulfide minerals can be increased. The technology is selective for certain sulfide minerals only, including chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The technology has been shown to selectively aggregate the fine chalcopyrite and sphalerite minerals giving increased flotation recovery. The plant trials have shown an increase in the mineral recovery, without decreasing selectivity. Size by size recovery shows a significant increase in the fine (<20 m) mineral recovery levels, such that the losses in the finest of these fractions were reduced significantly.>20>
