The addition of sodium carbonate increased the stability of the pulp and improved the flotation kinetics greatly, resulting in a better flotation performance.
214· Copper slag is a major waste produced in pyrometallurgical plants during the smelting and converting operations and has caused heavy environmental contamination. A pyro-hydrometallurgical process for the treatment of copper slag has been developed to accomplish recovery of nickel, cobalt, and copper and reuse of iron source. It was proved that the slag …
11· Copper slag has long been the subject of metal recovery. However, it has become apparent that copper slag flotation tailings can meet resource requirements under certain circumstances. Besides copper, zinc and cobalt can also be obtained from slag tailings. This study investigated the potential of copper slag tailings alongside global metal supply and …
Abstract Aiming at the recovery of copper from smelting slag, a flotation approach was studied. It was found that this slag composed of fine particles with complex association and distribution, in which bornite was the main copper-bearing mineral after a detailed mineralogy analysis via polarizing microscope, SEM and XRD. Consequently, otation was attempted to recycle Cu in …
The copper recoveries realized in the plant are much lower than expected and it has been postulated that some copper minerals may be occurring in forms that are more dif cult to oat like oxides or ne disseminations fi fl fi in the gangue matrix.
81· Several researchers have investigated the possibilities of recovering copper from discarded copper slag. Gravity concentration, froth flotation, roasting and leaching are the three primary routes discussed in the literature. Among all the methods, flotation has gained the attention of most researchers because of its cost economics [35]. The effectiveness of the …
31· At Pineer, we could supply complete project solutions for customers ore mining projects. From copper flotation cells, to installation and …
331· Thionocarbamates are the group of collectors that are mostly used for flotation of sulphide copper minerals, alone or in combination with …
61· Moreover, the flotation kinetic model of copper slag was established and the results showed that the movement of copper slag in the flotation process conforms to the first-order kinetics. The addition of sodium carbonate increased the stability of the pulp and …
23· The bulk of the world’s output of copper is produced by smelting copper sulfide flotation concentrates in reverberatory furnaces, followed by …
2025719· These findings could aid in the recovery of heavy metals from copper slag employing slow cooling and flotation, thereby lowering copper slag accumulation and mitigating environmental hazards.
202011· Currently, the slags are sent to a milling and flotation plant for liberation and recovery of residual copper.
2024815· Abstract Copper smelting slag (CSS) is commonly generated during the smelting process of the copper concentrate, it comprises a range of valuable metals, …
Copper Recovery Through Smelter Slag Flotation in … Copper slag flotation was studied on an industrial scale at a concentrator plant in the region of Atacama, Chile. This study consisted of the physical, chemical, and mineralogical characterization of the copper slag, along with preliminary flotation tests. This article focuses on industrial flotation, which consisted of two oneyear
A smelting plant in Bor extract copper from copper ores and copper concentrates by a pyro metallurgical process. During years of operation, a considerable amount of copper slag has been generated as a by-product and has been dumped. Copper contents in these slags are as high as 0.6 up to 0.8%. As such, this slag could be considered as a secondary source for copper re …
71· Various methods for the recovery of copper and other precious metals from this byproduct have been studied, and there are many operating flotation plants in industrial scale.
The flowsheet of the slag flotation plant adjacent to Aurubis, Pirdop copper smelter is shown in Figure 1. For the aim of the current work, six process streams were sampled using two different sampling set-ups.
51· Hence, in response of its potential economic performances and environmental benefits, copper slag needs to be subjected to further metallurgical recycling and cleaning instead of being dumped or abandoned without treatment. Here, a critical review of the generation mechanism, and chemical and physical characteristics of copper slag is provided.
plant (Slag Mill Plant) for liberation and recovery of copper. This work focuses on optimizing the recovery of copper minerals in copper smelter slags by means of froth flotation. Most of the copper minerals present in the Namibia Custom Smelters’ slags are free sulphide minerals,
11· Copper slag has long been the subject of metal recovery. However, it has become apparent that copper slag flotation tailings can meet resource requirements under certain circumstances. Besides copper, zinc and cobalt can also be obtained from slag tailings. This study investigated the potential of copper slag tailings alongside global metal supply and …
20151010· Present work focuses on the differences in the performances obtained in the froth flotation of copper smelter slag with multiple collector viz. sodium…
The copper ore treatment process in RTB Bor produces significant amounts of mine waste material such as: mining waste, flotation tailing and copper slag (Stanojlovic et al., 2014). Mine waste can be defined as waste materials that result from the ore exploration, mineral and pyrometallurgical processing. It is estimated that about 1,2 x 109 tons of mining waste, 0,9 x …
This work involved visiting plants that are processing copper slag using froth flotation and analysing their flow sheets and operating strategies. Samples collected from the slag dumps were subjected to mineralogical analyses, laboratory grind tests and flotation tests.
Teniente smelting technology produce high copper concentration slag, which are treated to reduce the quantity of copper in the slag. The slag concentration in this slag is higher than some copper mineral weight percent. At the same time, seawater is an alternative for froth flotation, given the current prevailing water crisis. The present paper study of froth flotation of copper, …
