The paper presents: chemical analysis, SEM - EDS analysis, Bond''s work index in the mill with balls and bars, kinetics experiments of grinding and flotation of copper bearing particles, depending on the fineness in the range of 60 - 95% -0,075 mm.
ABSTRACT The key to successful flotation plant design, production planning and mine/ mill optimisation is a solid understanding of the resource to be processed. As advocated by the authors of this paper, the main components of geometallurgical modelling of an orebody and its associated flotation plant are:
2025517· Why Flotation is Superior for Slag While gravity and magnetic methods are effective for coarse particles and ferromagnetic materials, flotation shines in recovering ultrafine, oxidized, and chemically altered particles, which are common in slag. In many cases, flotation can extract metal values that represent 1–3% of slag mass—yet up to 60–80% of its economic value.
423· One of the most used tumbling mills is the ball mill. This paper reviews different types of grinding media that have been developed and improved over the years and their properties.
515· Steel slag is the main solid waste generated in the steel-making process, accounting for 15 to 20% of crude steel output [1]. China''s crude steel output in was 1.035 billion tons [2], more than half of the global crude steel output (1.9505 billion tons) [3], and the steel slag output exceeded 120 million tons. In contrast, the comprehensive utilization rate of …
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 Precise control of SAG mill loading and flotation cell level is critical to maximize production and recovery in mineral concentrators. While expert systems are commonly used to optimize these process operations, the underlying regulatory control is often implemented using traditional proportional-integral derivative (PID) controllers or rule-based schemes in the expert …

201728· Most importantly, for the recovery of copper in the form of sulfide, the flotation usually possesses better effects. But, because of the difference in the composition of the slag, …
Slag produced as a byproduct in industrial processes, contains considerable metals contents, which need to be recovered to avoid environmental contamination. In present review, the types, applications, recovery of metals from slag and their hazardous effects have been discussed. Gravimetric, magnetic, floatation, pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical treatments are …
Managing the impact of grinding on flotation performance is the third crucial factor in plant design. Even if you can accept the low power efficiency of a mill with steel balls, you may not be able …
