Copper and lead concentrates were produced at grades of 21.88% (Cu) and 75.53% (Pb), with recoveries of 89.07% (Cu) and 98.26% (Pb). This showed a similar performance of DFinal with dichromate ...
The final copper concentrate produced contains 25.1% copper with 86% recovery. The Mikheevskii MPE, producing 18 million t of porphyry copper ore per year (at a grade of 0.4% cop-per), applies the bulk-differential flowsheet and pro-duces copper and molybdenum concentrates. The flo-tation feed is the tertiary grinding overflow of 80% …
Flowsheet for treatment of Copper Sulfide ores rich inminerals such as chalcopyrite with gold and silver as well as arsenopyrite. The above flowsheet is designed for the treatment by flotation of copper as chalcopyrite with gold and silver values. The ore, ranging from 60-65% silica, with pyrite, arsenopyrite, and calcite with 3 to 4% copper.
Continuous sampling of the re-cleaners with and without wash water over a period of 2 months showed an increase of 1·5% in the final copper concentrate grade at constant overall copper recovery. View

Low-grade copper concentrates (with copper content less than 20%) often contain impurities such as arsenic, zinc, lead, mercury, antimony and bismuth.
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.

Generally, copper extraction follows the sequence (see Figure below): 1. Beneficiation by froth flotation of ore to give copper concentrate (Optional partial roasting to obtain oxidized material or calcines) 2. Two-stage pyrometallurgical extraction 1. smelting concentrates to matte 2. converting matte by oxidation to crude (converter or ...
Copper Process Flowsheet Example. A simplified schematic drawing of copper flotation flowsheet. Run-of-mine open pit ore will be crushed in a gyratory crusher. The crushed ore will be processed by means of semi-autogenous and ball mill grinding followed by rougher flotation, regrind, cleaner flotation, and dewatering to produce …
The conventional treatment of copper–gold concentrates involves smelting, converting and electro-refining to produce a copper-cathode product. Sulfur in the copper concentrates is oxidized to sulfur dioxide during smelting and converting and is normally used to make by-product sulfuric acid. Iron in the copper concentrates reports to the …
