Ni recovered to the copper concentrate is considered a loss because smelters do not pay for it. Fig. 3 shows a typical copper flotation performance varying in winter with respect to Ni recovered to copper concentrate in the absence of any monitoring and corrective action to minimise this.

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 …
