Cobalt minerals consist mainly of carrollite (CuCo 2S 4), heterogenite (Co3+O(OH)) and kolwezite ((Cu,Co) 2CO 3(OH) 2). With only a limited number of operations extracting copper and cobalt from Congolese ores data about recovery of copper and cobalt is relatively scarce (Schmidt et al., 2016). Typically, 85% for copper and 75% for cobalt is ...

1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles. Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while ...

Abstract This research aimed at recovering metals retained in the tailings from the flotation of copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) ores conducted at the New Concentrator in Kipushi (NCK). Metals retention in the tailings (0.73% Cu and 0.37% Co) increased due to the removal of the gravity separation section from the processing circuit together with …

Copper-cobalt oxide ores contain several minerals that are economically treatable by concentration techniques. The most used technique is froth flotation in which selective reagents are used to recover more valuables. It is, therefore, important to examine the optimal doses of those reagents while investigating the behaviors of minerals at the ...

The copper ore in Chilean copper porphyry deposits is often associated with molybdenum minerals. This copper–molybdenum (Cu–Mo) sulfide ore is generally mined from various locations in the mining site; thus, the mineral composition, oxidation degree, mineral particle size, and grade vary. Therefore, in the mining operation, it is common to …

Most of the world's nickel is extracted from the mineral pentlandite, (Ni, Fe)9S8, which frequently oc-curs in ores containing predominantly pyrrhotite and various non-sulRdes, some of which contain magne-sium (Table 1). The nickel content in such sul Rde ores is generally low (0.2}3%) and varies from place to place in the same deposit.
