Flotation is a separation technique that uses air bubbles to collect valuable mineral particles from a water-based pulp. If you ask what flotation is used for, the direct answer is that flotation is ...

Walk into any copper smelter and look at the concentrate arriving at its gate; more often than not, that concentrate exists because of flotation. Copper flotation is a mineral processing method that ...

Stand on the operating floor of a copper, lead-zinc, or phosphate concentrator and you will see the same scene: long rows of rectangular tanks, each one churning dark pulp beneath a layer of mineral-...

An ore grading 3 to 4 grams of gold per tonne can be profitable in one plant and marginal in the next, and the difference is usually not the assay itself. It is where the gold sits in the rock. Free,...

A concentrator treating 10,000 tonnes of ore a day often ships less than 400 tonnes of product. The other 9,600-plus tonnes are rock and water that must be broken, sorted, separated and drained in a ...

A concentrator treating 3,000 t/d of ore and one treating 30,000 t/d look completely different on a site plan, yet both are assembled from the same four families of operations. The four main types of...

Two trucks leave the gate of a copper mine on the same morning. The first carries 40 tonnes of run-of-mine ore that assays roughly 0.5% copper. The second carries about 2 tonnes of dark, damp, finely...
