Application of modified sulfidizing reagent (MSR) in processing fl owsheet of oxidized copper ore

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the research results on flotation of the oxidized copper ore with the preliminary sulfidization by a modified reagent. The planning method of an experiment investigated the influence of various factors on flotation process of the oxidized copper ore with a preliminary sulfidization by the modified reagent. Dependence of copper extraction in a flotation concentrate was received from consumptions of sulfidizer and collector, pulp agitation time with a sulfidizing reagent. A mathematical model of process was received.The optimal conditions of flotation providing the copper extraction in flotation concentrate at a level of 85,12 % were determined with this model.
