5.1 Elements normally found in copper concentrates do not interfere. UseSignificance and Use 5.1 In the primary metallurgical processes used by the mineral processing industry for copper bearing ores, copper and silver associated with sulfide mineralization are concentrated by the process of instrumental background correction flotation for ...
Copper concentrates are dominated by copper, iron and sulphur. These elements are incorporated in sulphidic minerals such as chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), bornite (Cu5FeS4), diginite …
In flotation circuits, it slimes and adsorbs flotation reagents; starving the copper minerals of collector and readily floats to the concentrate, thereby reducing the quality of the concentrate. ... The final copper concentrate contains a significant amount of arsenic and is currently incurring smelter penalties. Copper arsenide minerals, such ...
Copper concentrates are solid mining products transported in bulk. It is therefore necessary to determine the classifications for the human health and environmental hazard categories set …
Copper concentrates are typically processed via pyrometallurgy-hydrometallurgy consisting of smelting, converting, fire-refining and electro-refining (Fig. 4 and Table 6).Saganoseki smelter and refinery in Japan, for example, processes copper concentrates from Chile and generates three products: (i) copper cathode (>99.99% Cu), (ii) anode slime containing silver, gold, PGMs, …
The sequential separation has some disadvantages, for example, large reagent dosage, complex flowsheet, etc. Therefore, mainly due to the extremely similar floatability of chalcopyrite and galena, the separation of bulk copper/lead concentrate is common used in commercial process and forms the backbone of this investigation.
Production of copper concentrate that can be used for extraction of copper. 4. Salient Technical Features including Competing Features. The process is based on froth flotation of copper bearing minerals from ore after milling. The concentrate is dewatered and used for extraction of metal by pyro-metallurgical route. 5. Level/Scale of Development
The leaching reagent (dilute sulfuric acid) is sprayed through sprinklers on top of the heap pile and allowed to trickle down through the heap, where it dissolves the copper from the ore. The resulting "pregnant" leach solution of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate is collected in a small pool. ... The copper concentrate is first sent through ...

Mine to Market Optimization. It may make sense to the overall economics of a mining operation to account for (1) production of a lower grade concentrate with higher overall recovery of copper from the mine, (2) treatment of the lower grade copper concentrate at the minesite to make copper metal and; (3) use of by-product weak acid from the copper recovery …
Both copper and molybdenum concentrate grades increase with IDCR value, reach to a maximum grade at IDCR value of 50–80 cm dm − 3g − 1, and then decreases as IDCR value increases further.
