In order for the high-arsenic regions of the Northparkes copper–gold orebody to be beneficiated economically, tennantite ((Cu,Fe) 12 As 4 S 13) present in the ore needs to be rejected to enable copper concentrates to meet the typical smelter penalty level of 2000 ppm As. Using a composite sample of high-arsenic drill cores from …
Assessing the depression of high-concentration pyrite in copper …
Fig. 2 shows that as pH increased from 9.0 to 10.5 and then to 11.5, the pyrite recovery obtained from the flotation of the ore with 5 % pyrite decreased steadily from 94.5 to 40.6 % and then to 10.3 %. Hence, a direct link between the decreased pyrite recovery in Fig. 2 and the increased Cu grade in Fig. 1 when pH increased could be drawn. The …

Unfortunately, the conventional flotation cell achieves high recovery only in limited size ranges. For example, a sulfide ore might float very well at 90 to 120 microns, but not at 50 or 150 microns. The research to date has identified two main reasons for the upper limit on floatable particle sizes.
