1. Introduction. Froth flotation was undoubtedly the most innovative and groundbreaking discovery for mining in the 19th century (Wills and Finch, 2015).Nevertheless, it did not last long that scientists recognized its limitations for extremely fine and coarse particles, which has remained a long-standing unsolved issue in the …

In these ores, copper occurs in chalcopyrite and chalcocite-group minerals, which have the general formula Cu 2-x S and include chalcocite, digenite, anilite and geerite, and oxidized copper minerals at different proportions. Copper sulphides are locked mainly with pyrite and the fine-grained ones are enclosed by gangue silicates.
