In the quest of new, less hazardous, and more ambient-friendly froth flotation reagents, the use of biosolids or humic acids as both collector and frother for the concentration of copper sulphide ores was investigated. Rougher flotation tests were
Abstract—Typically, rougher molybdenite flotation and recovery from bulk copper! molybdenum concentrates involves the use of alkalisulfides, Nokes reagents, cyanides, oxidants, and/or thermal treatment to depress copper sulfide minerals. The bulk copper/ molybdenumfeed generally varies from …
The copper flotation circuits upgrade copper content by a factor of 80-160 times from feed to a saleable copper concentrate containing ... streams and the Train 1 rougher concentrate A. Figure 2 shows the size distribution and liberation characteristics of the non-sulphide .
In this work, rougher flotation of low grade copper minerals (0.6–0.7% Cu) was tested in column cells at laboratory scale. A negative bias regime was used in order to create a levitating effect on particle–bubble aggregates to promote gross particle flotation. Over 80% recovery was obtained on the flotation of coarse mineral (—84 μm ...
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we present a case study for the rougher flotation process of copper-molybdenum ores performed at the Erdenet Mining Corporation Mineral ...

Rougher Cells will receive the feeding material flow from the ball mill. So flotation cells in this stage have bigger working volume than the cleaner flotation cells and scavenger cells. Rougher cells also have 2 types, mechnical agitation with self- absorbtion air cells and Pneumatic flotation cells .
Copper Rougher Flotation For large tonnage circuits normally encountered in many of the copper operations the open or free flow type "Sub-A" Super Rougher Flotation Machine is recommended. Intermediate cell weirs are eliminated and circulation of pulp through the impeller is fixed to provide the desired agitation and aeration for rougher ...
Fig. 1 shows the rougher flotation in a certain copper flotation site. During the whole flotation process, rougher is the first step of screening after ore is ground, mixed with water and classified. The products from rougher include the rougher froth on top of the cell and the pulp flow at the bottom of the cell.
A modal examination of the products produced by the copper flotation rougher-scavenger circuit reveal important information regarding the limits to the efficiency of the process, imposed by mineralogy, fragmentation and flotation capacity.. Let's discusses various aspects of rougher flotation circuit performance and how to evaluate its results .

Product % Weight % Cu Assay Feed 100 2.09 Concentrate 10 20.0 Tailings 90 0.1 (a) From Table 1, the Ratio of Concentration can be calculated as F/C = 100/10 = 10. If only assays are available, the ratio of concentration equals (20 – 0.1)/(2.09 – 0.1) = 10 ...
