Cobalt By Flotation From Different Ores

curs in ores containing predominantly pyrrhotite and various non-sulRdes, some of which contain magne-sium (Table 1). The nickel content in such sulRde ores is generally low (0.2}3%) and varies from place to place in the same deposit. The low nickel content of the present-day nickel sulRde ores renders them

The major cobalt source in the ore is the mineral siegenite. Separation and concentration of siegenite by froth flotation is complicated by the mineralogy of the ore. The siegenite is often present as an intimate replacement in tergrowth with chalcopyrite (fig. 1), sphalerite, galena (fig. 2), and the iron sulfides, pyrite and marcasite

Cobalt is generally exploited as a by-product of copper, nickel, silver, gold, lead or zinc extraction [58,59], but it can also be associated iron and/or arsenic minerals [59]. Determining the

Srdjan M. Bulatovic, in Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice, 2010 Publisher Summary. The process of flotation of oxide copper and copper cobalt ores involves two basic flotation methods: fatty acid flotation of oxide copper minerals from siliceous ore and sulphidization of oxide copper minerals followed by flotation using sulfhydryl collectors, such

NICKEL AND COBALT ORES : FLOTATION. Most of the world’s nickel is extracted from the mineral pentlandite, (Ni, Fe)9S8, which frequently occurs in ores containing predominantly pyrrhotite and various non-sulRdes, some of which contain magnesium (Table 1). The nickel content in such sulRde ores is generally low (0.2}3%) and varies from place to

Copper-Cobalt ores. Various cobalt bearing minerals have economic significance including cobaltite (CoAsS). carrollite (Cu(Co.Ni)2S4), and linnaeite (Co3S4). These are often associated with copper minerals and pyrite and pyrrhotite iron sulphides. Two different flotation separation strategies are used

lion tons of ore grading 5.9 pct Pb, 1.1 pct Zn, 0.3 pct Cu, 0.02 pct Ni, and 0.015 pct Co. The fact that this ore contains about 100 million pounds of cobalt and 150 million pounds of nicke 1 (1., . .)3 is of enhanced importance because the cobalt and nickel content can be upgraded as a result of mill-ing operations. Although

Sep 01, 2020 The ore from the Nchanga open pit contains pockets of ore with higher grades of cobalt, typically about 0.3% cobalt and 1.3% copper. This ore is processed in campaigns through the cobalt flotation circuit, which is illustrated schematically in Fig. 11. The concentrate typically contains about 16% copper and 4% cobalt

Laboratory flotation testwork was carried out on three different samples from the DRC in attempts to isolate some of the more important variables affecting the flotation of copper and cobalt oxide minerals from these weathered deposits. This paper describes some early results achieved and experiences gained with these different ores ahead of a more

The flotation by surface sulphidisation of the oxidized copper-cobalt-bearing ore from Kimpe (1.97% Cu; 0.66% Co) was studied in order to evaluate its behavior by the analysis of its most

The ancient flotation tailings from Lefke, Cyprus, have a potential for non-ferrous metals such as cobalt and copper from more than 9.5 million tons of reserves containing 0.38% Cu, 0.032% Co, and 22.6% Fe. Recovery of cobalt and copper from these tailings can provide great benefits from economic and environmental perspectives

The mineral composition of copper–cobalt ores is more complex than that of copper sulfides, and it is also difficult to discard tailing efficiently in primary flotation for the fine-grained disseminated of ore. In this work, a mineral liberation analyzer (MLA) was employed to study the characteristics of minerals. As a significant mineralogical characteristic, the liberation degree of useful

Flotation is also used to split copper and nickel sulfides and separate them from iron sulfides and gangue minerals. Cobalt sulfides appear in the nickel concentrate and the cobalt is subsequently recovered. Flotation has developed from the treatment of simple ores to the ever more complex ones that are being found today

Effect of different collector dose rates on cobalt segregation 1035 Flotation tests were conducted using three, different Analar grade Senkol collectors and Sodium Ethyl Xanthate as a control. In order to examine the effect of collector dose rates at segregation flotation stage, flotation tests were conducted at dose rates of 20g/t, 30g/t, 40g
