Improvements in Copper Molybdenum Polymetallic Flotation?
For over a decade, a copper concentrator had been operating smoothly using a traditional flotation process involving closed-circuit grinding, copper-molybdenum mixed flotation, separation, and sulfur flotation. While the process was stable, it had inherent limitations:
Copper Concentrate Grade: Around 12%
Copper Recovery Rate: Approximately 55%
Molybdenum Concentrate Grade: Over 45%
Molybdenum Recovery Rate: 78%
The sulfur content and the varying floatability of minerals, including the gangue, were significant factors affecting the overall flotation process and its efficiency.
DasenMining team of expert engineers identified two key areas for improvement:
1. Agent Dosage Optimization: By carefully adjusting the dosage of the two primary agents used in the flotation process, Dasen Mining was able to significantly enhance the performance of the copper-molybdenum mixed flotation circuit.
2 .Process Flow Simplification: Recognizing the potential for further gains, Dasen Mining explored less conventional methods. They adopted a less popular mixed flotation approach, which, despite its initial challenges, ultimately led to a more streamlined and efficient process.
Why This Matters to Global Mine Owners
If you’re a mine owner or operator, these results should be of great interest to you. Here’s why:
Increased Profitability: Higher concentrate grades and recovery rates directly impact your bottom line.
Efficiency: A more efficient flotation process means lower operating costs and better resource utilization.
Sustainability: Improved efficiency often goes hand-in-hand with reduced environmental impact, a growing concern in the mining industry.
Competitive Edge: Implementing advanced flotation techniques can give you a significant advantage over competitors still relying on outdated methods.
