01-10-2016 · The depression of pyrite flotation by cyanide may result from one or more of the following mechanisms: (1) Cyanide may depress pyrite flotation by replacing xanthate ions on pyrite surface, similar to hydroxyl ions (Wark and Cox, 1934, Prestidge et al., 1993).
Introduction. Pyrite (FeS 2, iron disulfide), is the most abundant sulfide mineral and commonly associated with valuable minerals such as sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, gold as well as coal (Wang and Forssberg, 1991, Wang, 1995, Dimitrijevic et al., 1996, Jiang et al., 1998).Pyrite has very low economic significance and is usually removed from the valuable components by
Flotation of copper at different alkaline pH from 7upto 10 and using different Xanthates as collector vs. recovery of copper may give some clue. Minimum Pyrite obtained in copper concentrate is the starting point for further flotation test
The application of guar gum for pyrite depression in seawater flotation was assessed through microflotation tests, Focused Beam Reflectance Measurements (FBRM), and Particle Vision Measurements (PVM).
Pyrite floats at very low pH or gets entrapped during flotation. Column flotation will give good results for such problems. It has forth washing system where entrapped minerals are separated, to get very clean concentrate. 4 years of R&D in RDM proved to reduce silica from 7 to 3% in Zinc cleaning in column with very low pyrite.
01-10-2019 · Therefore, the depression effect of MBS on pyrite flotation is more likely through the interference of copper activation on pyrite surface, which weakens the interaction between collectors and pyrite surface. 3.1.2. The effect of MBS dosing points on pyrite depression
The depression of pyrite by lime is attributed to the surface formation of Ca(OH)2, CaSO4 and Fe(OH)3 as determined by XPS analysis. Xanthate flotation tests
Pyrite depression in copper ore flotation often requires large doses of inorganic depressants that lead to high toxicity, high costs, and low selectivity.

The application of guar gum for pyrite depression in seawater flotation was assessed through microflotation tests, Focused Beam Reflectance Measurements (FBRM), and Particle Vision Measurements (PVM).
Pyrite flotation recovery was correlated with FBRM and PVM characterization to delineate the pyrite depression mechanisms by the guar gum. The high flotation recovery of pyrite with PAX was significantly lowered by guar gum, indicating that this polysaccharide could be used as an effective depressant in flotation with sea water.
01-11-2021 · In this study, the selective depression of arsenopyrite in pyrite flotation with in-situ generated nanoparticles was studied. Scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) detection, solution chemistry analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), adsorption tests and contact angle measurement were used to reveal

Initial laboratory flotation experiments and a full-scale plant trial revealed that Pionera F-250 biopolymer could replace cyanide as a pyrite depressant at the Tara mine in Ireland. The use of Pionera F-250 gives flotation recoveries similar to the use of cyanide as a pyrite depressant. For the mine, the replacement of cyanide as a pyrite ...
24-08-2019 · The rejection of pyrrhotite and pyrite has become a long-standing problem in the copper ore industry. This paper describes the first successful depression and adsorption mechanism of a novel and ...

Flotation is completely depressed for concentrations ≥10-2M. The principles for rendering the minerals hydrophobic by EDTA and xanthates are also discussed in this thesis. Studies of the activation of sphalerite, arsenopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite by Cu(II) ions by using adsorption tests and cyclic voltammetry showed that the activation reactions between the sulphides and
My experience of lead activated sphalerite (Mt Isa, Hilton, Elura, NevesCorvo) is that soda ash (Na2CO3) added into the mill in combination with zinc sulphate and metabisulphite (MBS) to the mill, or before aeration and collector addition, can

01-11-1999 · The flotation response of the coal pyrite was completely different from the mineral pyrite. The coal pyrite was most floatable near neutral pH, with the floatability decreasing in acidic or alkaline solutions. Depression of the coal pyrite by yeast was not selective between the pyrite and the associated coal under the experimental conditions.

18-10-2021 · Pyrite particles, having framboidal/altered texture, are known to significantly affect pulp chemistry and adversely affect flotation performance. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to demonstrate influence of pyrite mineralogy on the flotation of copper (sulphidic) ores and develop alternative conditions to improve the performance.
10-12-2018 · The flotation results showed that coarser serpentine possessed a weaker depression effect on the pyrite flotation process, and the use of KAl(SO4)2·12H2O could efficiently limit the detrimental effect of fine serpentine on pyrite with a maximum increase of pyrite recovery from 14% to 86% at pH 9.0.
