Evrard and De Cuyper (1975) pioneered the use of alkyl hydroxamates for floating copper–cobalt ores in Africa. In the 1970's, flotation studies in the laboratory and at plant levels were carried out on ores from China with basic hydroxamic acids and other compounds with different non-polar groups, such as naphthenic, ...

Effect of Microwave Radiation on the Floatation of Copper Sulfide Ores
The objective of this study is to evaluate the floatation behaviour of microwave pre-treated 2 sulfide copper ores containing different mineralogy. Each ore was subjected to microwave radiation for varying time periods before grinding and subsequent floatation testing. The changes in floatation recoveries and grades with the microwave exposure time were quantified by batch …

1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles
This means that 95.7% of the copper present in the ore was recovered in the concentrate, while the rest was lost in the tailings. (c) The % Cu Loss can be calculated by subtracting the % Cu Recovery from : % Cu Loss = 100 – 95.7 = 4.3% This means that 4.3% of the copper present in the ore was lost in the tailings.

60 Centuries of Copper: The Flotation Process
Today such ores (which would be regarded as relatively rich in copper) are scarce; the great majority of mines contain the metal in finely disseminated particles which aggregate anything from 2 percent down to 1 percent or even 0.8 percent of copper. Thus to obtain metallic copper, up to 99 percent of the material mined must be removed as waste.

More than half of the global cobalt supply from primary sources is currently produced in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from ores containing copper-cobalt oxides or copper-cobalt sulphides. Where oxide and sulphide cobalt-bearing copper minerals occur together, efficient recovery of copper and cobalt is known to be extremely difficult.

Flotation is a common mineral processing method used to upgrade copper sulfide ores; in this method, copper sulfide mineral particles are concentrated in froth, and associated gangue minerals are separated as tailings. However, a significant amount of copper is lost into tailings during the processing; therefore, tailings can be considered secondary resources or …
