A further separation of the lead-copper into their respective products by flotation is often economically advantageous if the crude ore contains 0.8% copper (16 pounds per ton) or more. In the case of this study, it is assumed that a separate lead-copper circuit is not warranted.

At 15 g/ton copper sulphate dosage, final silica recovery in the flotation concentrate is above the recovery under the condition without copper addition (Fig. 8a). Since the cumulative grade of silica in the concentrate increased with flotation time all through (Fig. 8b), this recovery pattern characterizes entrainment [21, 22].

Council, copper is chiefly used in building construc-tion, equipment manufacturing, and infrastructure. In 2019, global copper consumption was 29.44 million t, which is a 0.5% increase when compared to 2018. According to London Metal Exchanges, the average value per ton of copper in early 2018 and the end of 2019 ranged from $5800 to $7200 [1, 2].

The concentration of sulfide copper minerals by means of flotation generates large volumes of tailings. It is estimated that one hundred twenty-five tons of tailings are generated per one ton of produced copper, and its generation is on a continuous rise because of the decrease of the copper grades [1].On the one hand, the tailing is considered an environmental problem as …

Oxide copper ore flotation with 800 g/ton sodium oleate at pH 9 yielded 14.4% Cu with 83.3% recovery in a rougher circuit. To enhance the flotation performance, in terms of %Cu, optimum dosages of sodium silicate, quebracho, and pine oil were examined. At the optimum dosages, the grade increased to 20.1% Cu with 76.4% recovery.
