A Copper Flotation Flowsheet. Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial. The flowsheet in this study illustrates a typical 3,000 ton per day operation. In general most operations of this type have two or more …

ABSTRACT. The beneficiation of high talc-containing copper–cobalt flotation tailings was studied by centrifugal gravity concentration. It was found that copper and cobalt minerals were finely disseminated in the gangue matrix so that conventional gravity concentration using spirals and shaking tables would be ineffective.
