The dosage of a collector is an important factor that determines the efficiency of a froth flotation process. The representative sample of the carbonatitic Palabora copper ore ground 45 % passing 75 µm was froth-floated with sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX) collector at 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 g/t dosages. The concentrates and tails were dried …

The column flotation cell (CFC) was invented in the 1960s but did not gain wide acceptance in the processing of base metals until the early 1980s . In column flotation, ore is introduced near the top of the column and sparging air from bottom, creating a deep froth zone. Wash water is added from the top to remove fine entrained …

Thickening and filter capacity is selected for a 10 to 1 ratio of concentration as would be the case when treating a 3% copper ore with the copper mineral being chalcopyrite. In such case it would be necessary to filter 50 to 55 tons of concentrates each day. The use of a mineral jig or flotation unit cell in the grinding circuit is recommended.
