In this case, as a general rule because both copper and lead minerals tend to float well, these are usually the target bulk flotation minerals. Therefore the standard Cu-Pb-Zn flotation practice involves an initial flotation of a Cu-Pb bulk concentrate followed by two parallel circuit stages of copper-lead separation and separate zinc flotation ...

WhatsApp: +86 18221755073The circuit being a sequential Cu-Ni flotation requires limiting the flotation of Ni into the Cu concentrate. This is achieved by using a Cu selective collector (Aerophine) and high pH in the final cleaning stage. In winter recycling rates are at their highest owing to less demand of raw water for the mill motor cooling systems.
