Read moreThe Problem with copper pyrite ores This flowsheet, is designed for the treatment of a copper iron sulfide ore containing appreciable values in gold. The major portion of the gold is associated with the copper but the pyrite contains appreciable gold values also. The demand for pyrite for sulphuric acid also gives added incentive for the recovery of the pyrite
Read moreIn the flotation of copper ores several processing plants report that copper recovery is affected by the proportion and type of pyrite in the ore, with the effectg more intense when the feed ore particles are fine, i.e. in fine regrinding. In this work, a model mix mineral system consisting of chalcopyrite and pyrite with varying pyrite content in the range 20 80 wt. was used to
Read moreOne of the principal problems in flotation ofplex ores is the presence of pyrite and copper activated pyrite in moderately alkaline pHs. Misreported pyrite into copper concentrates dramatically declines copper grade and its recovery.

Read morePyrite is a significant gangue sulphide mineral in the Ok Tedi copper ore. Its presence in the flotation concentrate is not entirely desirable since it lowers the grade of the final copper concentrate. Lime depression of the pyrite has been practiced with some success. However, it has been observed that at the pH for pyrite
