Flotation Separator for Copper and Gold Recovery

Flotation separator for copper and gold recovery

About Copper Ore:

Name: copper ore
Hardness: 3-4
Category:  native copper, chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, azurite and covellite
Application: raw material for metallurgical industry

Copper ore processing  flow can be: crushing – grinding – classifying – flotation – copper concentrate and tailings process.

1. Crushing machine: Triple or fourfold crushing are adopt for the copper ore crushing in  the medium and large mining plant. Adhering to the modern dressing concept of more broken and less grinding.

2. Grinding machine:Ball mills are the first choice for minerals grinding

3. Classifying machine: Classifying equipments are used to inspect  copper ore process and control the grain size. The common equipments of classifying are spiral classifier, high frequency screen, hydrocyclone, etc.

4. Flotation machine: Flotation equipment is a main equipment for copper ore beneficiation.

Flotation separator is a machine that is used for completing the flotation separation process. Inside the flotation cells, the ore pulp processed with reagent is mixed and inflated with air to make some ore particles selectively adhere to the bubbles. Then the bubbles will float to the surface of the ore pulp and be scraped out to become froth pulp and the rest will remain in the ore pulp, thus reaching the aim of separating the minerals.

Flotation separator working principle:

Mix the mashed rocks with water and necessary reagent in the mixing chute, and inject them to the pulp chute. Lead air to the pulp to make it form large quantities of bubbles, and some mineral particles that are difficult to get moist in water and that are generally called hydrophobic mineral particles will stick on the bubbles and float with the bubbles to the surface of the pulp to form mineralized bubble layer, and some other mineral particles that are easy to get moist in water and that are called hydrophilic mineral particles do not stick on the bubbles but stay in the pulp to discharge the mineralized bubbles containing specific minerals, thus completing the separation process.

Flotation separator for copper ore:

Raw material ores is exploited from mountain are big size,so it is necessary to crush firstly,in this process,the raw materials will be feed into primary crusher by feeder,then come into secondary crusher.The materials will go into screen after first and secondary crusher, the suitable size material (≤25mm) will go to next step. Oversize(>25mm) material will go back to secondary crusher to crush again. This forms a closed crush circuit.

In this process, material will be grinded into suitable sizes (about 200 mesh) for beneficiation.After grinding material will come to classifier. In classifier, suitable size material will go to next step. Coarse material will go back to ball mill for grind again. This process is a closed grind circuit.

In this process, materials will be separated by flotation, magnetic separator or gravity concentrating machine. We will get the materials that we need.

Process introduction: After beneficiation, there are some residual water in ore concentration. So we have to carry on concentrate dehydration to meet the requirements of transportation and smelting.
