· 1 Types of copper sulfide ore (1) Single copper mineral Its ore characteristic is relatively simple, and the only useful component that can be recycled is copper. The gangue minerals are mainly quartz, carbonate and silicate. (2) Copper-sulfur ore Called copper-bearing pyrite. In addition to copper minerals, iron sulfide can be recovered, and the main mineral of sulfur is pyrite.

contact us· 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 parallel ...

contact us· Different sulphide ores respond differently in the prospect of copper activation to thiols for froth flotation. With the BCL Selebi-Phikwe ore body, pentlandite–pyrrhotite–chalcopyrite co-occur and there is the constraint of fine pentlandite dissemination in the pyrrhotite, so that liberation is limited. In the presence of pentlandite, pyrrhotite can even be galvanically depressed.
